When rains in Delhi and NCR, life becomes hectic, messy, road will get blocked by water and heavy traffic jams.

Almost quarter to half of the body of your two wheeler and four wheeler will get drowned in water.

From Wednesday, 09th September 2009 evening raining started till mid day of 11th September 2009, some times heavy rain and sometimes little rain.

You can see above the three [3] photos of Gurgaon bus stand full of water, old Gurgaon was filled by water everywhere; not only Gurgaon this was the condition of whole Delhi and NCR. My colleagues who comes from different parts of Delhi and NCR had similar experience of traffic jams, messy with water, painful and hectic travel.

All normal activities got disturbed and got freeze, so many could not able to reach office and returned back to Home.

Local transport is very worst in Gurgaon, there is no proper "City Bus Service", more number of Cycle Rikshaw, Auto Rikshaw, Mini Buses and Private buses are there and competition among themselves to gain their customer / travellers.

Due to heavy rain it is very difficulty for two wheeler to ride in midst of road full of water, messy and traffic jams.

One does not know whether manhole is opened as it is full of water, my two wheeler got switch off as water went inside plug and I was pushing it, next to me two persons sitting in bike went fast in that road full of water and their front wheel got inside the manhole and I was far to them and pushing my two wheeler manually, thank GOD ! people nearby there helped them to get out of it. I decided to push my vehicle manually in that road full of water till the roads are visible to eyes.

If one decides not to travel by his private vehicle due to rain and traffic jam and decides to reach office by local transporter then he had to take cycle rikshaw from home to bus / private vehicle stand - catch bus or auto rikshaw and reach linking destination and change another auto rikshaw to his office. An half an hour ride in your two wheeler will become almost two [2] hours of hectic / painful / messy journey.

I had a very hectic / painful / messy experience to reach office and back home by private transport, really I got exhausted and felt fatigue.

Oh ! again I felt "ಉರು ಉರು ಸುತ್ತ ಮೇಲೆ ನಮ್ಮ ಉರು ನಮಗೆ ಮೇಲು".
