Lo and Behold....




India witnessed nature at it's best...the Eclipse in Varanasi and the High Tide show in Mumbai. As waves well over five metres lashed the city at the appointed hour on Friday, thousands of office-goers, taxiwallahs, taporis, lovebirds and even families with nana, nani and the dog in tow gathered at waterfronts like Worli (above), Mahim, Haji Ali, Marine Drive and Cuffe Parade to watch the high tide roll in. They stood and they gaped. They got soaked and shrieked with joy. Some clicked pictures while others went home with tall stories to tell of their free entertainment. Of course, for those living on the edge, it was another sad day as their rickety homes and belongingswere swallowed by the hungry tide.
