Sabir Masani, actor and writer, resident of Simla House, Nepean Sea Road, gives DNA correspondent Neeta Kolhatkar a first-hand experience from his cosy window.

MUMBAI: This morning, when I looked out of the window of our Simla House residential building, there was little besides the rain that I could see. Blurred vision and rain lashing Mumbai’s shores.

Around our building, off Nepean Sea Road, beyond Hyderabad House is Malabar Apartments. I have a couple of friends and acquaintances living there.

The way to the building unfortunately is on a slope.

Residents of Malabar Apartments park their cars around the way to the building, which is low-lying.

We received calls from residents there that their cars were floating.

A lucky few took their cars ahead to a temple. We checked from our building and called up the Fire Brigade.

We were hoping that the 10 cars floating in the water-logged compound could be saved by the Fire Brigade.

The Fire Brigade personnel came, saw and went. Little could they do. They called up the civic authorities, who said they would have to de-silt the area, and did nothing.

Till then the cars were floating.

Over 50 people were seen soaked in the rain, hoping that some authority or persons could rescue their vehicles. At home, they had no power, as the electricity was shut off as a precautionary measure.

Surprisingly, this is a recurrence of July 4, 1974. Even on 26/7 we did not see cars floating in neck-deep water!
