Mumbai and Delhi are notorious for their rain.
Both get flooded when it rains for couple of hours but I never swam across with my Bullet in waist deep waters. This was the day.
It was raining cats and dogs since morning and the rain stopped at 7:00pm in the evening when I walked to the station. The 5:55pm Borivali to Churchgate (Slow) was still at platform # 2, waiting for the lines to be cleared.
I came back walking to the office and took off on my Bullet to Kherwadi via S.V Road onto Khar-road, Bandra (West), Expressway and into Shivaji Colony.
It was water everywhere but we went smoothly and reached the entrance to Kherwadi. I left the expressway and moved towards my place when I felt the water gushing towards us. The entire road was waist deep in water.
My bullet coughed one last time and the engine went silent. I had to push her for another half kilometer to park beneath the building.
My father was right in his advice.
"Learn to swim son, it's Mumbai!"
I guess, my bullet didn't pay any heed to his advice.
Engine filled with water, great evening!!!
