Well, it appears kapel made it through all those monsoons over there. Barkeep, make sure he gets a nice glass of iced tea, and, for once, put it on my tab, okay.

Hi guys!!
Firstly,can i have my iced tea pls!!
A traumatic week here in Mumbai!!! I'm just lucky to be alive
The water Gods had no sympathy for the city which never sleeps,cos they made sure no one slept for a week.The city had come to a standstill with no electricity,food or drinking water.
Still some parts of the city remains in dark & with minimum supply of basic commodities.
The suburbs of Mumbai were the most badly affected area,thats where most of the people stay.On 26th July 6pm onwards the cloub burst occured which left 98% on the ppl stranded on the streets as its the peak hour traffic to return home.Most of them were stranded in their cars/on streets for almost 24-48hrs.
Minimum flooding on the streets of Mumbai was 4.5 feet with a maximum of 16 feet.The official number of ppl dead are 1208,with unknown number missing.
I've been working with my wife(who is a journalist) for the past week reaching out in these area,not to mention that we almost drowned too
Things are getting back to normal from today & so i thought of visiting this bar for a drink

Glad you n yours made it okay, Kappy. We heard about Mumbai as it was happening, and were bloody worried about you. My kids will be happy to know you are alright. Barman, when he has finished that, give him as many as he wants ( half on my tab and half on Mfers

)

You cant leave a poor innocent soul like myself on the street corner, how about letting me have one of whatever you're having

Hey TK, if you are interested you could join our little F1 idiots group with the 8'n'pole comp. That way you can compare your score against us poor saps.
