27th July 05 would always remain in my mind, as a memorable day for the many lessons it gave us. That day I was in office, enjoying the rains from behind the windows and cracking jokes on the same. I had already gone through two raining seasons in Mumbai and was confident of facing the rains. I joked that it seems to be like Day After Tomorrow, a film on global warming and its impact on USA. However suddenly this joke looked like becoming a reality. News started flowing in that the central line was closed; the western line also got closed. Suddenly the rains did not seem romantic any more. The roads in front of our office behind hotel centaur, near domestic airport were clogged with vehicles. People who had left office early started arriving back with the tales of a flooded Western Express way. Then reality was becoming apparent very fast. Tension was there in the air. I had just come out of the lift, when the power went off. The Day After Tomorrow scenario was coming in place. Then the mobile lines went off. Suddenly we were cut off from the world. No one was reachable. My friend who had got stuck up in Bayandar on a long distance train to Bombay was out of coverage on the roads. By then I was clear that this night was going to be a long one. We decided to spend the night in office and started looking out for food for the people caught up here. Running from one hotel to another managed to get food for 65 people. Meanwhile we could see hotels over flowing with foreigners and domestic passengers, whose flights had got cancelled. They were pleading for a room which in most acees was simply not available. With the ATM's cut people had no other option. Our colleagues were caught up in stations and in cars in middle of the roads, had to spend the night there without anything to eat or drink. Early next day at 5, we conducted a survey of the stretch of high way near us and found the traffic limping back. Then by 80 the movement started towards homes. I was guided by the volunteers on the road, on to sand truck which took us to kandivlli. The people irrespective of status were seated around me, with only one thought that of getting home as early as possible. On the way heard innumerable stories of courage of ordinary people who went to extraordinary length to help the people in danger..with food, tea, physical help.and in so may other ways. Seeing and hearing all this was an overwhelming realisation that humanity still survives and that the sprit of Bombay endures in the spirit of so many unknown people who cam forward as one to save life's and help other. Also it taught another important lesson that before God's nature all men are equal, the rich and the poor the mighty and the simple. It was visible all though out when simple people from slums came forward to help those stuck up in cars, buses and in station. These three days are indeed memorable for all these testimonies of courage and concern for fellow human beings. --Tony Joseph After confirmin that the trains were runnin i and my friend left from byculla and caught a thane local at 2:40pm. it was very crowded from dadar onwards. it reached vidyavihar at 3:15 pm and stopped. we waited for long, called our families they told us to wait. and then the lights went out. and it just wouldnt stop pouring. we managed to go and get 2 packs of chips( everythin else over) we sat and prayed. soon the evenin came and we could not do anythin. the level of water was steadily risin. the water level was just few inches below that of the platform. vidyavihar is a place where u cannot see anythin of the city, we could just see water flowin on all sides. it was like being stranded on an island. the entire time we were thinkin why vidyavihar, if it was any other stn we cld have gone to some1's house but why vidyavihar. but then on a more positive note we thought atleast we were on platform and not in between stns! the ladies we were sittin with gave other to sit. we all took turns for sittin whilst we would go out on the platform to get some fresh air. some of them refused to get up once they got seats! this was what we got in return for the kind deed we thought we were doin. anyway, we somehow managed to get through the night. in the mornin at 5 some of us decided to go but returned coz the water was just too high. at 6:15 am ( after 15 hrs in train) we walked on the tracks to ghatkopar stn. thr were so many ppl stranded and we were waitin and seeing if we could manage a lift. ultimately we got into a sumo goin to mulund. we were stuck in traffic jam on the ghatkopar bridge goin towards the highway for one and half hrs. we turned back and by LBS we reached mulund in 45 minutes. that uncle dint charge us anything! ppl along with us were goin to dombivili, so they hired a sumo and left, they dropped me at thane and my friend further at mumbra. i reached home at 11:30 pm on wednesday and my frnd at 1:30 pm. a throughly harrowing experience! but i have to thank all the ppl who helped each other and us in gettin home safely! --Mayura Naik I must appreciate the efforts taken by only MUMBAI CIVILIANS and not Police and Fire Dept in helping the stranded people reach their destinations. We must have seen many photos and many clips on new channels, we saw women, kids and even elderly people stranded. Did we see any photo or clip of Mumbai Police or Fire Dept? NO, because they were not to be seen only when there were real crisis. Was Mr Vilasrao Desmukh not responsible enough to deploy Mumbai Police at the right place and not in the unwanted security of MP's and MLA's who had no bigger threat than the local people from the rains. The PUBLIC has helped the PUBLIC and not the government. --Ritesh Shah Now that the watery woes of July 26 are behind us, it is time to look back and perhaps laugh it off. So I made up this song, which I am dedicating to all those Mumbaikars who left the safe cocoons of their office and bravely waded their way back home on that horrific evening.
