Water, water, nowhere

If there is one precious thing in Chennai, thats Water. And that does test your patience to a very great extent.

You enter home after dark exhausted fighting with your Project Manager. Open the tap to take a fresh bath to get away from the humid and sultry weather for a while.

It drips drops and ... stops.

Know what? It happened to me today. The worst thing about me is that I dont save water even after facing the same problem for a year. It sucks when you save water for more than a day, coz' it becomes soft and kinda sticky which I hate.

Anyways, simply put, there is no solution to it. Ideas overflow, but not water. Ideas are ample: desalinating the sea water to nationalizing rivers, getting water from veeranam etc etc. No matter which political party comes, there wont be a good solution. After all there is no point blaming the politicians alone, though they have a significant part.

Think about the people. Once upon a time - actually not so long ago - there used to be a beautiful river called Cooum. Now the name translates to garbage.

And no body is bothered. Everyone is so accustomed to it. Who said necessity breeds invention? Necessity actually seems to breed adaptability.
