Such type of intermittent heavy showers do not warrant a holiday! Yesterday, unlike day before, there were only intermittent heavy showers lasting average 15-20 minutes unlike a cloudburst!
IMD predictions have miserably failed!

BTW, I think the heavens are crying seeing the current state of affairs down! This type of rains ruining entire Diwali celebrations may not have happened before!!

Humans are playing with nature. Mother nature is paying back humans with interest. Otherwise why so much rains and natural calamities

Only if one "walks the talk", it'll happen, but it's not so; rampant destruction is going on in the name of development!
Last week about 2300 trees were hacked in AAREY milk colony in Mumbai despite huge protests by all sections of people, many even were arrested for protesting!

BTW, what's the use of any development at the cost of clean air, water, & food??

Read how Bhutan has one of the best environment quality in the world!
