I can't believe that my place has been flooded. After more than 5 yrs of successive droughts etc rain is lashing the city. In some roads the water is upto shoulder level and due to the flooding of rivers the athourities have been forced to open up various channels and thereby flooding the city.
Fortunately the only few places which haven't been flooded is my place.
I feel so sad that my area hasnt been flooded, the water is just ankle deep.
That too is not due to rain but due to flooding in other areas, the water travels through the storm water drains and since the drains are blocked, the water gushes out of the drainage and flooding our area.
But there is a silver lining: my school is in K.K.Nagar where its been flooded of 3 sides, the other side has very little water. The athourities have issued a flood warning to that place and they are probably evacuating that area.
Today I was to have my Bio pracs exam, that got canceled (We normally don't work on saturdays but due to heavy rains last week etc a few days the school didnt function so they keep school on Saturdays but most of the saturdays it rains and school is invariably cancelled)
The rain has stopped and I can see very few clouds now in the night( since its dark I may be mistaken)
I am hoping it will rain Sunday evening very badly and the specimens in the Bio lab are spoilt and the Physics lab apparatus (especially the young's modulus, parallellogram law of forces apparatus are spoilt) all get destroyed!
Though it does make me sad to think of the people who will be badly affected if it rains such, i realize that one must sacrifice something to get something else. So I will graciously sacrifice the lives of numerous people living near my school and pray that my school is flooded.
