And the rains came down

It was a good morning to hitch a lift with M on his way to work. A night of thunder and lightning storms and very heavy rain had left the roads flooded. Our driver jumped out of the car in his bare feet to help fold up the buggy and put it in the boot along with his shoes. The new parts of the city have drainage so were busy but not flooded. As we neared M's work in Old Gurgaon, the fun began, with broken down tuk tuks, people abandoning cars, choosing to walk and people trying to stay on the high edges of the road to avoid the deep puddles. So many people with trousers rolled up and shoes in hand waded through the flood waters. It was a sight to behold.
