Blind driving

Ok the rain gods finally showed up in Mumbai in Style. I guess before every rainy season the god's give Mumbai the heaviest of rains which leads to an eventual flooding. The best case was 26/07/2005 ofcourse that was way above the normal about 944 mm of rainfall. Ok neway getting back to the topic I had a bright idea of going to Hiranandani Powai and have a coffee there at Cafe Mocha! Well dont ask me why but I simply love their coffee compared to CCD or Barrista or anywhere. So at 17:00 hours 3 of us drove down to Powai to enjoy our cuppa. We sat there and were enjoying our Cuppa when Kartik's phone rang. His folks told that its raining heavily in our area and we should get going. But we still lazed around because there was no rain in Powai. After about 15 mins it started raining cats and dogs. We thought let the rain subdue and then we will leave for home because my car's breaks were v.bad and the wipers were also totally gone. After a while it did appear that the rain aint going to subdue for a while atleast and we decided to leave for home. Somehow we managed to reach the car totally drenched. Initially I thought the car is not going start considering some water logging had been there fortunately the car started. The drive back home was a literally blind driving. The car's wipers werent that effective and 2 the breaks. Fortunately there was very little traffic and hence we had hopes that we would reach home soon. I couldnt see anything and was relying on my own judgement and instinct. We were soaked wet still the AC was on to prevent fog on the windscreen. We saw many cars stuck on the way I prayed my car doesnt coz its bonnet was also jammed. We were troubled by panic phone calls from home telling us to be careful etc etc. However once the i reached home I just crashed into the bed was too tired as such one thing it taught me. The best fun is to drive at night with heavy rainfall the excitement remains unparalleled.
