| Till a few days ago, most parts of India reeled under drought. Cities thirsted for water. The country seemed to await the first drop of rain to hit its baked earth. |
| |
| It has rained. And now the same cities are full of it. Flooded, life disrupted. Dirty and unhealthy, as rainwater mixed with sewage water flows through crowded urban habitats. |
| |
| Rain has literally become a curse. But the real tragedy is that in a few months, once the rains are over, these same cities will be thirsting again. Once again, their water greed will make them poach for water in surrounding areas. |

Today, our flatulent cities get their water supply from further and further away
