Congress plans to convert Mumbai to Venice, now that Shanghai is out of fashion.

[–]resurrection 3 points4 points ago

Well, Venice is sinking, so I suppose it couldn't be more apt than that.

[–]asisingh 0 points1 point ago

[–]le_clochard 1 point2 points ago

This is a leftist conspiracy. Didi must be informed immediately.

Dear Mumbai

Suck it Suck it Suck it Suck it Suck it Suck it.

Sincerely, Bangalore

[–]le_clochard -1 points0 points ago

You're just jealous because a small downpour in Mumbai detracts issues of national concern in Bangalore like the NE-Muslim conflict or the counter-terrorism arrests ;) Bombay will always get the limelight.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points ago

Those poor rats!

[–]I-am_Batman 6 points7 points ago

and people want to make Mumbai as Shanghai :D

[–]lolzoid 4 points5 points ago

I have already defined people of India as bunch of KumbhKaran's who are sleeping and are still having Mungeri Laal key Haseen Spaney of attaining a super Power status one day.

[–]ashayh 3 points4 points ago

In the 70's it was "Make Mumbai like Singapore!" But Singapore went too far ahead.

Then in the 80s it was "Make Mumbai like Dubai!" But Dubai went ahead too.

In th 90s it was "Make Mumbai like Bangkok!" But Bangkok went ahead too.

In th 00s it was "Make Mumbai like Shanghai!" But Shanghai is light years ahead.

Soon, someone will say "Make Mumbai like Dhaka/Karachi!".

[–]I-am_Batman 0 points1 point ago

they are trying hard and working their ass off to reach infrastructure level of Delhi..forget about some foreign city

[–]ihyder 0 points1 point ago

To make their work easier, our govt. Lowering our infrastructure standards.

[–]homie_erectus 3 points4 points ago

Tilaknagar station is it?

[–]chengiz 5 points6 points ago

The station name on the "diamond" has few letters, maybe 4-5. I'm thinking Sion.

And if it is Sion, there will be poop floating in that water.

[–]homie_erectus 2 points3 points ago

sion is an obvious one for water-logging.

i was confused for a bit.

[–]nakp88d -1 points0 points ago

I would have said Sion but the water level is a bit low , it should be overflowing.

[–]my_user_name_is_Mogambo 3 points4 points ago

wow !! you guys have a swimming pool on railway station... awesome...

[–]recklesswaltzTeam Gurren Lagann 1 point2 points ago

looks like you became happy! ;)

[–]ranjan_zehereelaओह डार्लिंग ! यह है इंडिया.. 5 points6 points ago

wow..the railway port - the first in the world

[–]madnessAndYou 3 points4 points ago

Heh wonder if those guys are waiting for a train.

[–]lostinsamaya 4 points5 points ago

Those guys were waiting for a train, a train that will take them far away. They know where they hope this train will take them, but they don't know for sure.

[–]aidsnakedrap 2 points3 points ago

You high bro?

[–]antipositronMahablahrath Kadha..!! 0 points1 point ago

Exactly my first thought - are they waiting for the train with that much water on the tracks?!!

[–]killer_fields 3 points4 points ago

Quick, Call Michael Phelps

[–][deleted] ago

[–]phattu 8 points9 points ago

There's shit in that water.

[–]the_soupnazi 5 points6 points ago

That is the first thing I thought when I saw the picture.

[–]TyahulRagi 0 points1 point ago

The rains in mumbai are like what happens when you flush your loo.

[–]svmk1987 1 point2 points ago

I reached home at 11 yesterday night.. A lot of my friends didn't even bother going all the way home. Which station is this though?

[–]kickassme 0 points1 point ago

did the trains arrive finally ?

[–]modemjammer 0 points1 point ago

you kidding me, bro?

[–]OptimumWaste 1 point2 points ago

I think this is Sion

[–]OptimumWaste 1 point2 points ago

Also , can't say if this was taken yesterday because this happens every year

[–]why_reddit 1 point2 points ago

You have attached wrong pic OP. Where is the railway station pic ?

[–]drmuza 1 point2 points ago

The drainage is probably blocked by all the shit people do on the track.

[–]lostinsamaya 0 points1 point ago

We all know how dirty and shit-filled railway tracks can be, so can someone post an 'after' pic. Just so I can see that this has made a slight difference in the way it looks.

[–]imransoudagar 0 points1 point ago

It will be better to start boat transport in Mumbai as a Monsoon special.

[–]ihyder 0 points1 point ago

2-3 months ago we had a same situation here in Toronto, Canada

[–]azyraphale 1 point2 points ago

Which station is this?

[–]whatthehelpp 9 points10 points ago

The water station.

[–]Envia/r/sahitya/ 0 points1 point ago

Probably Kurla or Sion. The low lying ones got flooded.

[–]gcs8 -1 points0 points ago

Which station exactly, OP?

[–]manowar2011 -1 points0 points ago

Looks like VT ---- last remember it in a similar situation in 1977. And the smell ----- don't get me going. But Mumbaikers are used to it. I would be able to just sniff the air at a specific station on the Central Harbour line and identify the station name1

[–]azyraphale 0 points1 point ago

VT station has a gigantic roof on the top. Doubt it would get flooded like this. This looks like one of the smaller 2-3 platform wala stations.

[–]manowar2011 0 points1 point ago

You are correct....but just imagine this in New York!

[–]TyahulRagi 1 point2 points ago

Dude, the water comes in from outside, via the tracks etc, not thru the roof.
