Mumbai Monsoon Aftermath


Speaking of Mumbai, the city is apparently slowly returning to normal after a week of heavy rains where Mumbai recorded the a highest rainfall (37 inches) recorded on a single day in India.

Transportation in Mumbai resumed to near-normal service as rains and floods finally let up after killing close to 1,000 people last week, but many low-lying parts of India's financial capital still remain under water.

Meanwhile...

Damage estimates are over 10,000 Crores with about 1000 lives lost.

Water bottlers make hay... makers of bottled water like Bisleri, Parle, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo and a host of local regional players are striking it rich.

Mumbai airport will be back to normal today after a near disaster with Air India and several days of intermittent service.

After deluge, Kurla faces epidemic... the first symptoms of viral and bacterial infections spread through water.
