Shower Games

Over the past month and a half, I had been bragging that I brought rains with me to Chennai. The way things are going, I would have been happier leaving the rains back in Mumbai itself. As I look outside the window in my bus, I find vacant lands disguised as lakes. I wonder how people reside in the houses that look as if they are floating in the middle of a river. But don't think that the situation is that bad in Chennai. It's just that I pass through the worst affected places. Every time it rains, these areas are the ones to find their names in the news channels immediately. Anyways, I've been informed that my office bus route will be changed from tomorrow onwards.
Amidst the rains I hear cries. Not that of the heaven falling on them, but that of the heavens spoiling their cricket match. I can understand the anguish of the people in other states as the only way the Chennai rains have affected them is by cancelling their cricket match. What I don't understand is, why are the Chennai-ites more worried about the match rather than the struggle that they are going to face travelling in the roads where potholes have taken intermediate assignments as water storages?
News channels showed angry spectators who were complaining about not getting their ticket fee refunded. The organisers were stating that they had informed about this earlier itself. I am left wondering, isn't there an insurance for cricket matches?
