Mumbai is experiencing the worst downpour in a long time, completely paralysing the city. Rail services, airports, roads are inundated and help is now pouring out to rescue everyone to safety. Nature does not discriminate and the heavy downpour has affected everyone alike, rich or poor, human beings or animals.
