Would you rather be stuck in a heatwave, spit-roasted alive under the slow-burning flame of the scorching summer sun or drown in the trenches of filthy gutter water amidst incessant torrential downpour that like most men on Tinder, can’t seem to take a hint? Answer: would rather be in Manali, enjoying mountain Maggi and chilly gusts of wind.
But anyway, fantasy aside, Bangalore is undergoing some ugly rainfall and Twitter is going berserk:
Bangalore is back to the clothes are not drying weather. #bangalorerains

In USA when it rains, water disappears from the road in minutes. In India when it rains, the road disappears in minutes! #bangalorerains #rain

We encroached upon lakes and converted them into concrete jungles. Now, with the rains, Bengaluru has become one big lake.

If it rains another few hours this way, Knee-level water will become chest-level on Bengaluru roads.

At trying hours like this, let’s not forget to honour the unsung warriors who brave against all odds to keep our cities safe. If you are in a position of privilege, in any capacity, lend a helping hand to those in need!

Rescued a puppy today. It was about to wash away in today’s Bangalore’s torrential rains. There were two puppies actually, the other one was already dead.

Our family’s planning to adopt him if he survives. Pray for him.#bangalorerains #RescueDogs
If you still think climate change is a hoax, please stick your head down the toilet or even better, enjoy a relaxing dip in the sewer water infested streets of Bangalore.
