A quick note to all....
Hey people! Sorry for not blogging in the last few weeks.I have only managed to call home twice to let my family know about my current situation.
It's flooding in Gujarat, the state where Baroda is located in due to heavy monsoon rains.
The lowdown?
Heavy rains have cause abnormally high water levels in the nearby dams. In order to relieve the pressure so that the dams do not break...they city has had to release water into the nearby river. The river was unable to handle the water supply and so the city of BARODA was flooded.
The experience?
It's been pretty hellish though I have to say my experience has been good compared to nearby villages where the floods have wiped out entire homes. The worst I have had to go through was walking around in the flood waters (up to chest level) and having to wander the streets when we couldn;t get home. More about that later.
Right now?
Seems like the city has to release more water from the dam. I only pray this doesn't last forever.
And I miss my family and friends (Singapore, States, Aussie -- you people know who you are) very much!
