The Rain Capital

Is Bangalore the rain capital of India? In times of shrinking resources, real and the share prices variety, rain is the one thing that seems plentiful. Bangalore seems more like Cherrapunji, known for the highest rainfall in India. The good thing is it keeps the city clean and dust-free, the bad thing is the flooding of already terrible roads. Planning a trip to Goa for the Diwali holiday; hope I don't get "rained-in", because the beaches aren't much fun in pouring rain. Good to sit down and watch it with some feni alongside, maybe.

The holiday mood is somewhat infectious, and everyone, students, professors and salesmen, seem to be caught in up in it. Saw the X files movie the other day, and seems like an OK one, though nothing great. Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny are fine actors and lookers, and keep the interest alive.

Well not sure about the Rain Capital but Bangalore is the strongest contender to be the Drain Capital of India.
One spell of 'heavy' rains and we have rivers flowing right across our roads already jammed with vehicles competing for every square inch of the surface.
And how can I not mention about the other kind of drain, 'the Brain Drain'!! Bangalore sends the highest number of students abroad for studies, and an equal number of professionals go out in search of career havens every year.
