Nature has its own course, and whatever smart you may be, you still cannot outsmart nature. Nature proved itself in my place. Bhubaneswar is ranked 21st among the smartest city in World. But all these could not help, when Nature showed its magic.
Heave rain for 3-4 days, due to low pressure brought life to halt. The city has grown so much that, there is little space for the water to join its way to the rivers. People have blocked the routes in which water was flowing earlier, by constructing house, shops etc. So now the time came to pay off the fine. Many people were stranded inside their house, because there was no way to get out , without swimming. Lot of vehicles got damaged, even some washed away. I heard, even in place, it was appearing as if the vehicles were doing a race showing who can go first. Even fish came to streets. Such was the impact.
Things have started improving a bit and life is coming to normal. What hurts me more is that people still do not learn lessons from these. May be Nature will show a bigger magic not too far away.
