Nature's fury

It was one Sunday that I'll never forget in my life: Incessant rains lashed Bangalore, three lakes breached, submerging more than a few residential areas in deep water- upto 7 feet in many places.
Ground floor of my flat was completely submerged in 4 feet of water. We were all evacuated by fire-force staff in rubber life-boats. Nay, it wasn't a life-and-death situation. But there was no water, no electricity, and the apartment complex was completely cut-off from the main road. There was nothing we could do by staying back. I and my roomies locked up the house, and came out in a dinghy. The whole episode was pretty exciting, but to think about my bike resting in peace deep under water.... :(
Now I'm staying in the company guest house. For the whole week.
