Rajesh, you need to have a new poll on your blog now, the current one is beyond it's date now.
May be something like:
1. What will be the total rain deficit / surplus in the country at September 30 2010
2. Will the Arabian Sea / BoB see a late monsoon cyclone? etc.
Yes, you're right. And thanks for the "alert"
Good suggestions. I think I'll go in for the cyclone one, with a little change.
Thanks.
Rajesh, you were bang on target (once again :-) ), just after I wrote yesterday about rains in Mumbai not abating it brightened up and it's sunny this morning. Guess the 'break' for commuters has come as correctly predicted by you
nt, it did look threatening in the morning though.
in fact the rain amount yesterday was 21 mms, just as er "vagaries" estimate of around 20 mms.
C'mon, City always needs a break.
