But I would like him/her to point out a few things. <BR/><BR/>1. I agree we are a perfect target, but who isn't in India? Mumbai becomes the target for its the place that fuels the Indian economy and a obvious target. Its just that other places if attacked do not have the effect that want and hence are not a hot target.<BR/><BR/>2. Mumbai has a population which touches nearly 1.75 crores and has a local train system which transports more than 7 million people everyday and yet runs nearly round the clock with trains nearly every 3-5 mins and more than 80% being on time. Very few places in the world will equal that. <BR/><BR/>3. I agree to the fact that the civil authorities are as in any part of India. But lets get into a few imp things. Mumbai is an island and draining water is difficult with the sea on all sides. Barring the July 26 one year, the city system has a down time of less than 48 hrs every year which I guess is high availability for most of the practically working systems. As for the Jul 26 event, the system had to handle a more than 95% of the season's rainfall in 3 hrs time and any other system would have failed in such a scenario. <BR/><BR/>So, my point is Mumbai is like any other place in India which has problems, but it still functions better than most of the ones existing and the people there are like anywhere in India which who keep going living daily lives without much affecting them .. as they have no other way to go ..Chetan Bhadrichahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16777825428582826397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8996791.post-56010046209862281782008-09-07T14:31:00.000-07:002008-09-07T14:31:00.000-07:00nice sum up of the movie and an amazing write up ....nice sum up of the movie and an amazing write up .. <BR/>well i want this comment to be an answer to the one written on ur blog about mumbai 2 years back .. <BR/><BR/>I agree that the system has a few flaws and there is a lot of scope for improvement.

I share the same intense love for mumbai.. Cheers..Chiraghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03610614696394567360noreply@blogger.com
