Rain Rain Go Away...!!!!
This year the rains have been ruthless....literally ruthless. They have surpassed all previous known and unknown records of downpours....they have thrown normal life out of gear.....they have been killing people ....and are continuing to do so...both mentally and eternally!
What has been the most surprising thing for me this season is that people that have been affected by the rains have for no obvious reasons started to voice their opinions against the government (this again is not a new thing to be said, but it has been at its peak this year!) C'Mon people....will you always rely on government's disaster management policy? (....uhh!what's that??? ;-)) Is there no such thing as your personal disaster management poicy? Did the rains warn the government that it would wreak havoc this year? Forget the rains...if ever you are hit by an earthquake.....don't tell me you are going to blame the govt. for that!!!! And then just out of political pressure, the govt. shells out large sums of money for relief mangement...needless to say that even a quarter of it doesn't reach the needy. And people...where does this money come from? From govt. servants of course. They are the ones who are fined each time such a calamity occurs.....sometimes (read as 'most of the times'!!!)unnecessarily!
Ok...enough of the govt. hail.A few things worth mentioning that they have not done at all.....the roads.....no preplanning goes into this department.It's only after the rains start and the roads get all roughed up that they start patching it up....only to rough it up again after a few (2 to 3!!!!!)days. They have been totally caught off guard in terms of health care as far as proper supply of medicines is concerned.....at least that's what the case was a few days ago. (That's it!! can't think of anything else right now ;-) )
People have had enough of rains this year.....dams are full.....even above danger levels at times. They simply want it to stop now.
It has affected life so much that I've heard schools all over Pune have been promoting the song "Rain Rain Go Away, Come Again Another Day". ;-) And they have banned songs like "Yere Yere Pavsa"!!!
True, Very True!!!!!!
