By the time I have posted this in my blog, almost all must have heard the news about the floods in Chennai.
This time around we the Velcherians are a happy lot …since almost all the areas of Namma Chennai was flooded. It was only a few years back when it was an usual news of Velachery being flooded, Now I am relieved person to find that most of Chennai was flooded and people we helplessly stranded.
I live in the ground floor , I have been this house since April 2003 (… to bring back some GOOD memories for a few … the same year when KVB started rolling off with Flexcube…. ). I have seen two huge rains and flooding in my area. I was not effected by the earlier one…. But the Floods of 2008 had marked the mark in my house.
I had a inside felling on the night of 27th November,2008 there may be a attack of floods in my house, after dinner around 9.30PM…( a candle light dinner….sorry guys not a romantic one… there was no power since 7PM). I went to bed at around 10.30PM. Had a good sleep until 3AM. I woke up with the sound of the rain, so went and checked around my house to find if the attackers (…rain water) had entered . I was relieved and went back to bed, but the sound of water (… sound if waves of water) outside my bedroom woke me up again around 4.30AM. I went to my Living room and there they were … the attackers… they had entered my sweet home…. ( by the way people … they had there own Plan of entering through the Kitchen sink outlet…it caught me in the wrong way…as Indian Defence say …My Intelligence Bureau failure ).
I woke my wife who was still asleep, and took a few furnitures and clothes and put it over my cot. Water was having a great time enjoying the comfort of my house. We got some bricks from our neigbours and put it under our refrigerator..so that water does not enter the fridge.
There was I and my wife , living like a refugee in our own flats, the next day we spent the whole day in Sunil’s house in First floor, who were very kind enough to accommodate us. He and his family were the best samtarians who really helped us.
As the rains subsidized , I and my wife with the help of Sunil, drove the attackers from house…. They the attackers were reluctant, but with available resources … ( broom sticks… ) we were able to drive them away …. And now were are back to our flat … hope this never come again….
People this just a jovial write up… but the mental torture you are put is tremendous…
