Pluggd.in :: Mumbaikars are known for their resilience. Yet another example of their fighting spirit was on display yesterday when thousands of people stranded in heavy rains came to each others help. This time around, they had new tools for help– Twitter and Google.

@stkonrath Not sure how many Mumbaikars actually made it home yesterday because of Twitter/FB/GoogleDoc. #MumbaiRain

Just had the scariest drive of my life. Near-zero visibility in the downpour, at least 2 cars skidding across my path. #MumbaiRain
