Highlighted Comments
Just 5 mins ago I saw a lady with her daughter waiting for school bus in the rains. I told her that schools are shut for the day. Poor communication as always, even in the era of 5G.
My office didn't announce anything. I reached after travelling for 2 hours in constant rains to witness 1/3 of staff attend office.
This doesn't seem so great for the tracks.
Yes, my boss called me and told me we’re working from home today because the office has practically floated away due to heavy flooding.
