Being a Bangalorean all my life, I can sure-footedly say that Nature rarely dared to be this fickle with the Garden city. Predictability was what we fondly called Bangalorean weather as. Well, monotony could have seemed monotonous to the rain gods who are in full swing. Bangalore indeed is deluged. People always wondered if ever the potholes in the roads would be out of sight. The torrential rains that caught the city by surprise, have indeed kept them out of sight!
Bangalore has been many outsourcing giants’ destination, wondered if nature's fury on New Orleans and Mumbai was outsourced to the city of silicons. As a mortal of IT fraternity, I had always wished for the word ‘deadline’ becoming obsolete. But, there is an immediate need to give this outsourced task a critical deadline, no matter what, unextended. Of late, I realize, ‘deadline’ is a necessary evil.
I suppose it was nature’s endeavour to give Bangalore a break from 24 x 7 metabolism. Who defied whom, the nature or folks, would probably be very much debatable to end in an inconclusive draw. Nature really rules but, it’s astonishing to see people battling it out to seek normalcy amidst the chaos. Hail Bangaloreans!
It’s time we understood that calamities strike and strike hard and we have got to gear up to encounter any that come our way, completely armed. It can’t be denied that it has been an eye-opener for us and what lesson we reap out of it is what really matters.
For now, Rain, Rain go away………. little Johny too has a role to play, Bangalore that it is!
