First rains in Delhi

Yesterday it poured for the first time in the monsoon. This was the real McCoy and not the usual Delhi 'lets dirty the car' rain but the one where you cant see anything in front and the wipers go nuts trying to work against the water pressure.
It was fun watching the rain from the 10th floor window and see people running in or out of the rain depending on the age and the joy they felt. By the time it was time to go home there was trepidation on whether the MCD has delivered what they promised.
Well it was a good time spent on the roads of Delhi trying to find the best route home. Traffic details on the radio were of no use as they kept singing songs of jam all over and how it has finally rained.
There was water logging and I saw numerous vehicles which had given up to the fury of the monsoon but I again was left dumb by the lack of road sense in Delhi. Intersections were full of cars and buses face to face honking away as if they will blow the vehicle in front of them with the sheer power of the pressure horn.
With people getting into the incoming lane and then blocking all routes it became a nightmare. I felt sorry for the traffic cop who stood soaked to the bone trying to manage the unruly cars and buses.
With the water levels in certain areas going up till 2-3 feet I was quite happy to reach home dry and without any mishaps.
This morning the same areas were quite dry and I for one was not completely unhappy with the MCD effort. Lets face it the volume was tremendous and in the short time the water logging was bound to happen but in 3-4 hrs after the rain the water had gone away.
But one thing was clear we in Delhi are not geared to take Bombay type of rain flyover or no flyovers.
