I was out of touch with you all for over 24 hours, as HEAVY winds, cyclonic gales, thundershowers lashed on us, all HYDERABAD, and most of the city was under this all SUNDAY. Our one SUNDAY got ruined by the FALLEN TREES, twisted electric poles, torn and destroyed bill-boards....strewn all over the roads. There was no electricity, and also the broadband connections broke ! I was so dumb... but, luckily, it got restored some 5 hours back. I was sleeping. It is 8.30 am now, and I am back at the pc, with all vigor and enthusiasm again. ---------------how was your sunday? Any Hyderabad,Indians also suffered this sort of natural disturbance?

one might not believe, but, YES. The G.H.M.C .. Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation .. WATER works, and sewerage board is working over time on that. They had all those big sucking and dredging machines and are cleaning, as if we all are at WAR. i FOR one, am really shocked to have a BIG MACHINE outside my small street, working about 4 hours, since morning, they said.. cleaning the underground drainage.. which got clogged with all the tender-coconut shells and plastic bags. It is not nature which caused the havoc.IT is man-made, with his negligence. But, we are back to normal life...

hi consultrainer I am here in the us in California and you would be dismayed after a rain or thunder storm at the ugly debris washed ashore' and its all just junk people threw in the Pacific with no regard to the sea birds and other animals. Plastic bags, straw hats, soda bottles and well just the sort of thing intelligent people will throw in their trash containers, but these people just dumped them into the pacific instead.those plastic rings around soda cans are really bad for birds and sea creatures as they get stuckin them and cannot get loose. why cannot people see what they are doing to nature around them?

oh will I leave my sugar candy? .. it is the twist of nature, that there was no power .. and all the words lost just in my thoughts. glad that you all are enjoying my topics and dialogues in different topics. It is still not so clear, if we can have the electricity. It is coming and going. May be because, they are working on restoration works. All the havoc, just for one and a half hour gales, and strong winds, rain.
