Rainy day. Citizens open their purses, homes and hearts with no bias towards religion, caste, gender or political-inclination. Life resumes. Once again, wading through waters for a livelihood. Relief package worth 1000-crore, announced. Like the one, last year. And all the years preceding last. Yet, Bombay repeats in Chennai in December. Yet, Chennai repeats in Bombay in July. August. September. Yet, for “Gods” who can’t play saviours, Chennai continues to seek “Her” aimlessly within the secured confines of Poes Garden or within elaborate temples erected in “Her” name, while Bombay swears by the frightening fortresses of Bandra’s Kala Nagar and commemorates a memorial for "Him" by the Sea. Bole toh, baarish ne “sher” ko bhi aisa hila daala, na amma thi na Bala, dono ke ghar pe tha taala, oopar dekha toh ghumrela tha helicopter mein dono, saala!
