Gutter sputter

Few days back I wrote about how the blooming Gulmohar trees are indicating the start of the rainy season. Well, here is the second indicator. BMC, concerned with the rising incidence of flooding within specific areas of the city are on a cleaning spree.

Or is it that, concerned with the increasing number of people who think that a sidewalk is actually for walking - BMC has decided to do its best to dissuade such health conscious populace?They have decided to clear out the gutters and fill up the side walks with rubble and gunk and goop from the gutters. May be it is their subtle way of telling us that we are putting in all the wrong things into the gutters - like milk cartons, ice-cream cups, plastic covers and other miscellany.

Whatever the reason, if you are walking, watch out - because the gutter sputters and its not hygenic by any means!
