Hey .. just started my own blog http://savemumbai.blogspot.com for pretty much the same reasons - the frustration of not finding so much help from the authorities, etc. in this time of crises - but then i found you guys and well - great job, guys! thanks for the info and the help !
ReplyDeletesuggest you use a wiki. or if you are using one, display the link prominently. helps keeping the info structured...

map suggestion: today's HT (Mumbai ed) has a good map of the city as did yesterday's (Sunday) Mid Day. Both good ref maps.
ReplyDeleteChirag, the wiki is already there.
ReplyDeletejust a warning to people from outside the city, as well as some within, I guess, that most of the footage on television is out of date -- NDTV at least is looping footage from Wednesday/Thursday and labelling it live, and most airport footage is out of date.
ReplyDeleteYesteray airport images aired at 4pm were taken at 10-30-11, so please take footage with a grain of salt
Sunil, Dilip, can you ask John, to mail me at kazionline@gmail.com? (john's emailID is not listed on his blogprofile).
ReplyDeleteI just called up one long-time friend from kalyan. She stays in doodhnaka with her family. As rightly pointed out by John, she had little idea of this place - though she has heard of Ulhas river and century rayon. I have asked her (and some of my folks from mumbra) to find about marhal ASAP, and ping me.
Hopefully by morning (ie 6hrs from writing this comment -its 2:30am in Austin), we shd hv an early updt abt this place, and I can personally call up John and convey the message.
John, if you are reading this, pls write to me asap.
For the most accurate weather forecast, please check out the following link.....

This "predicted" the Tuesday showers as well as the Sunday showers - it also says that we are going to have another "great" session from Wednesday night to Thursday night (i.e Aug 3-4).
Scarcity of "ALUM'
ReplyDeleteIf alum is not available to clean the water, one can use the alternate as using the water from a copper vessel. But, water should be stored for 10 to 12 hrs. Copper ion has got the power to kill the bacteria.
My son wants to come around 9pm from IIT to VT by a bus today. Are the roads safe? Can he leave that place by 9pm?
ReplyDeleteWell, I don't see how blogging is helping anyone. 3 months after the Mumbai floods, and I don't see any action being taken. You can check out my blog on the current state of the now famous Mithi River at Mithi River: Man-made Nallah. I have the recent photos of the so-called river on the blog. Do check it out. Everything seems to be falling on deaf ears, but I am just writing this to make people aware of how they are being cheated by the politicians. I hope that people would be literate enough to understand and vote against these ugly politicians.

ReplyDeleteHi i am traveling to mumbai on saterday and have to get a train to rajkot i come from u.k and am very concerned i wish all people of mumbai well.
ReplyDeletehello citizens,
ReplyDeletei think that the clean up ,and bmc should be on their toes to see that no pamphlets should be distributed outside school and colleges which creates a bad impression to others and makes the surroundings dirty ,a good job has to be done by stopping all this matter
