Mumbai disaster

Mumbai disaster

In year of 2005 , I had done my graduation. I was searching for job. One call center had came in my native place. I had passed my interview. They said that, "You have to come to mumbai, then we will give chance to face interviews in mumbai". So I went mumbai on 5th july. In mumbai I have many relatives so I stayed at one of my one relative's residence. My relative's home is at vithalvaadi. For 15 days i was searching for the job but i was unable to get job. The date was 26 july, In the morning i was sleeping. Suddenly my cousin woke me up and said “just get up” Water is filling in house very fastly. He also said me it was the normal routine whenever heavy rain comes water level increases little bit, after sometime water level will decrease. So I went outside. I was enjoying rain. After sometime water level did not decrease. The water level went on increasing . And also rain was going on. So every body was getting tense. I was tensed about my relative because they were inside the house. Every one was worried about heavy rain . I also helped many people to shift to safer places. I also had gone to my relative's house and told them to shift to safer place as water level is increasing very rapidly. They said me we will be safe on first floor, there water will not come. I told ok. But i went to safer place. On 27th july 3 am water level was increasing because of heavy rain fall. So I was getting tense . I was watching my relative's house. Water was about to come on first floor. There was also many people who were in trouble. I was totally unable to understand what was going on. I was praying to god please help us. I was also tired because i had not slept since 2 days and also was hungry . Water level was increasing . Some swimmer had helped all the person who were in trouble. They saved many people and also my relative . After rain had stopped, I went to my relatives house . I had seen really very very big disaster . Only In vithalvadi atleast 20 people died. But As you know why mumbai is known fast every body had forgotten all disaster and had came up with regular routine. I like mumbai men unity because they helped each other in the time of trouble. I really give respect to every person of mumbai.
