Bombay needs a break!!

ok...this is getting really old now. This is the 6th day that the entire city has been practically shut down due to rains and their attendant problems. While it was fun and adventurous till yesterday (mostly because I was one of the fortunate ones who did not get stuck outside on the roads or in the office), now its feeling like you are under imprisonment - cant step out of the house, phone connections are erratcic so cant talk to people, house keeps getting flooded (I am on the 19th floor, but the rain pressure is so heavy that the windows cant seem to keep them out), no food supplies coming in and office work coming to a total standstill. The last is particulary worrying because I have to leave for Australia in under two weeks now, and have to close this month's issues before I leave :(
