9 minutes at 9 turned out to be a huge success,
like everything else in our country this did not end & continues to play in
assertions & rebuttals. Some accuse the PM of not being serious and others
accuse the accusers not being serious. This will continue for few more days
till we another news cycle take over.
Days are finally feeling like Mumbai summer and
heat & humidity is making its presence known from early mornings now. Folks
say heat will kill Covid, if that’s so then bring on the heat. Anything to
solve this problem.
The empty roads and vistas have led to stunning
photos of our city and even a drone video. Its kind of sad to see my city
without its crowds and energy. Sooner this ends better it is for the city. Mumbaikars
love it the way it is Crowded, bursting and growing.
The most interesting forward on social media
was a video from Jallandhar where in the Himalaya’s (220 KM away from city)
were visible due to clear skies in North. The record for most received
what’s app message goes to BMC’s announcement of containment zones, before you
could see one, the flood on the app was phenomenal. One has to trust humans to
warn about dangers lurking in the containment zones. I am quite sure if one were
to analyse the phone records post announcement then maximum calls would have
landed in these zones. We are prone to call up disaster zones and seek update "Hey
Man just saw your building is in zone", "how r you faring?" DO you need help? What
can I do for you? All the other person would
be wishing is take my place guys. (OK most of us don’t say that)
On other account the twitter messages have
sobered down (excluding our competing folks in pro & anti PM camp) and show a
sense of understanding about others
Here are few examples
