It is a relief that the rains in Mumbai, India, have subsided. I remember the floods of 2005 and the destruction it caused. Power, water and all communication network was down at that time. It also caused massive destruction to the infrastructure. If the rains had continued this time, it would have led to the cancellation of flights putting the plans of several families from the UAE in jeopardy. This is the time they get back from their vacation because schools reopen within a week.
