Kuch Bhi Ho Sakta Hai !

For those who don't know Hindi, Kuch Bhi Ho Sakta Hai means Anything Can Happen. Where ? Well, in Bombay !! Yep. Its the best place I have known. Ya ya, I know its called Mumbai now. But then, I still prefer Bombay! On the other hand there are people, who don't believe that Bombay was renamed to Mumbai.

"Nooohh! You can't just rename a city!", says Jason. "What about the millions of maps and stuff ?". Arre yaar, what to tell him, kuch bhi ho sakta hai. Zara Hutt Ke, Zara Bach Ke, Yeh Hai Bombay Meri Jaan. That reminds me of a song from the 60's or something. Raj Kapoor. Aey dil hai mushkil jeena yaha... zara hutt ke.. zara bach ke.. yeh hai bombay meri jaan.. Damnn.. Bombay Rocksss. Aaah Those days !

Anyway, Its true dude, Bombay was renamed. And a small anecdote, just to add to the expressions on Jason's face. It is about the dude who apparently was the primary cause of renaming a million streets, the biggest railway station, the airport and many other places of Bombay to "Shivaji" names. Shivaji, by the way, was a great ruler of Maharashtra, a few centuries ago. So I heard that, in these extreeme rains in Bombay, this dude, goes to a hotel, in a boat !! On the streets !! Because they were flooded as hell !

Well.. I juz heard that.. but apparently there were millions of stories that people faced. My bro took 8 hours to get home. My sis outisde her college, due to the water current she fell down, and hurt herself. Then walked in the water, had to get an injection and stuff, just incase, you know any infection and stuff. But there are millions of people who face loads of issues too. There were several fires, and people got electrocuted too, hence some places had the electricity cut off. Then there was a oil tanker fire. Then there was loads of other issues. Bombay is still recovering. My best wishes to everyone, back in my home town. Apparently this was the worse rainfall ever.


-Aah.. Those days in Bombay.. Me Teachin 'em the sizzlin brownie tact..

Да уж. По поводу коментариев - навеяла на меня где-то услышанная фраза:
