Rain in Bangalore

I am sure there are benefits to some people who suffer from water shortages and the umbrella sellers, but for a large segment of mere mortals, it causes great difficulties. Roads that are badly designed/maintained choke up and make it tough to go anywhere. Traffic is already bad, and during rains, adds another 20-30 minutes to an hour's commute.

Is it Indra or Varuna that is in charge of rain, I don't remember, but whoever it is, they are unhappy with mankind. Maybe we deserve it too. But surely, there must be a way out. We should try and find it.
