All that nonsense about the city heaving a collective sigh of relief was complete shit.
Everyone did heave a sigh of relief in the first 20 minutes of the rain. But then it continued to pour. And pour. And pour.
Then drains began to overflow. The streets, roads and underpasses began to flood. Water began to leak into the interiors of homes from the nooks and crannies of balconies (trust me, my dad and I spent almost 20 minutes trying to clean up water that was leaking into the sitting room!). People were stuck in traffic jams. 45 minute journeys stretched on for 3 hours. 1 hour to 1 and a half hour journey became 5 hour journeys. Mosquitoes swarmed the streets. A part of National Highway 8 looked like a river.
The whole damn city came to a standstill. I guess it's safe to say that I don't love the monsoon as much as I thought I did.

Willkommen
Usually we go by Angad and Sim. Sometimes, you may see us refer to each other as Gangbad and Ximian. While we understand that you might be confused as to why and how we derived such awful nicknames for each other, you must also understand that the hows and whys are actually (sort of) none of your damn business. Same goes for the Markus and/und Lutz thing. It's sort of an inside joke, and if you know the story, you'll think its funny.
For now, though, all you need to know is that we are Angad and Sim (or Gangbad and Ximian) and that we occasionally use the names Markus and Lutz as insults. All you need to know is that if we call you a Markus or a Lutz, it simply means that we find you stupid, idiotic, incompetent, moronic or some combination of all of the above. So stop being a Markus and read our entries!
