When the taps went dry...

This last couple of days for us and probably last 4 days for the people in bangalore has been very tough.
No water for the whole city, when did we hear that last time??? Well that is what the situation was in Bangalore the last couple of days. The taps and the tanks went dry and absolutely no water in the whole city.
There was heavy rainfall for a couple of days and it broke open some thing which was affecting the water supply, hence they(Govt department) had to shut down water supply to whole of bangalore till the breach was repaired. It got repaired by late friday evening, but per the govt statement it takes 12 hours to reach the tanks in Bangalore... Well the wait is still on.
The water has not yet returned and we are still waiting for it...
In our case, living in an area which never had any water issues for the past 25 years of staying in this locality, had to for the first time wait the whole day for the tanker to get water to our building... also had to fill up as much water as was possible as the news was that we would not have water for another day...
Even worse for us was there is a pre-marriage puja and function at our place and lots of guests are invited. But I am sure we will cope with this and remember such occasions till our memory lasts...

This time around the water supply to one whole city was cut off due to some repair work, the next time it may be due to no water available for us to use... That day may not be too far...
Ive learnt the value of water the hard way, I hope our future generations do not face it as a reality...
Save water.... it is precious as gold....
