It is raining in Mumbai at the time of writing this. Parts of the city are somewhat submerged. People are wading in knee or ankle-deep water. But life is carrying on as usual (or whatever 'usual' means at this point in human history). It's not a crisis as such, like it is in Assam right now.

Twenty-seven of the state's 33 districts have been affected by the floods that have ravaged it. Wildlife has been displaced at Kaziranga National Park. Around 40 lakh people have had their lives turned upside down. Ninety-seven of them have died, and these are all official figures. They make Mumbai's rainfall seem like a ripple in the pond in comparison.
