Flood!

About a week ago, we had three straight days of hard rain. Between the high water table and the garbage on the street, the water had nowhere to go. So, until the trash could get cleared, many areas of the city were flooded with anywhere from a few inches to a few feet of water. I'm told this happens every year around monsoon time. Last Monday, I asked Pratap to drive me around so I could take some pictures of the Johdpur Park area, which was fairly hard-hit, but reasonably safe since we have an SUV. Also, Johdpur Park wasn't quite so bad as the Park Street area, which is at low elevation. Unfortunately, though, Park Street is where most of the shops are located, so it put a damper on trips to Pantaloons for a few days.
