As i stepped out from office and walked towards the area from where I usually get a rick home, I saw that the sky had become real dark in the direction of where my home is. It was only a 
matter of time before it would pour.Somehow I got a rick in time and we began a memorable journey.In just about 5 minutes time it started pouring. Somehow the ricks in Bangalore doesnt seem to have the screen they use for rain, so i was doomed to be wet. Getting wet in rain is normal. But then the route home via Old Airport Road was water logged. The poor rick was chugging along with speed around 15kmph as the chappie also had to wipe the glass( as the rick dint have a wiper). In the process cars were zipping by from both the sides and thereby splashing the water on to us. I would have had quite a few baths by the time I reached near home. By that time the auto-driver had enough and requested me whether I can proceed on foot from there. Which was OK to me as the water logging on roads was making it difficult for him to drive on. So I walked through what would be 300 meters to home. It took me some 15 minutes as there was only water and wate
r from the drains which were gushing out brining along with it all the muck that had been piled up. One always talks about raining - cats and dogs...but this one was raining rats, as the rodents were uprooted from their homes due the flooding of the drains and they were face to face with the humans above and it was funny to see some of them shaking the water off their bodies like dogs n cats do. It is sad to see Indira Nagar inundated like this. For a place like Bangalore which has so much rains, surely they could be better prepared. Why is it that the same old story keeps repeating...
