One day of heavy rain and our capital city Delhi came to a halt. Waterlogging and broken roads led to massive traffic jams leading to extreme discomfort for the peaple. This is the same story every year because the municipality does not clean the drains after promising to do so. Unlike other cities Delhi has no shortage of agencies. There is the NDMC which is the municipal corporation for central Delhi where all the ' VVIPs ' ( sic ) live. The MCD looks after us, the aam aadmi, of outer Delhi. Then there is the State Government complete with an Assembly and a Chief Minister and, of course, the Central Government. So many agencies, so many people to feed. Where is the time or money to give any service to the citizens. Delhi is one of the most hostile places on earth. Upto 46 celsius in summer and down to 5 celsius in winter. In winter constant fog and a biting wind make it unbearable. March and November are nice but then out come legions of mosquitoes with malaria, dengue, chikangunia and other unknown viruses. But even worse than all the microbes are the people of Delhi. Liars, cheats, with teeth bared like rabid dogs they are the worst I have seen anywhere. They will stoop to any gutter for profit and then will show off their black money. No wonder every invader from Tuglak, Moguls to the British have found this the best place to establish their capitals. The present politicians are no different from the marauders of the past. Wonderful it is not.
