Mumbai Rains Prove That ‘Being Human’ Is NOT Just A Hashtag

Mumbai Rains Prove That ‘Being Human’ Is NOT Just A Hashtag

The worst crisis since the floods of July 26th, 2005 happened in the city of dreams as Mumbai came to a complete standstill yesterday. The metropolis was hit with an extremely heavy rainfall, as all modes of transportation ceased to function and left thousands of people stranded.

And in spite of the arduous ordeal that was certain to last all night, the spirit of Mumbai was set ablaze with a determination so fierce, that it left nothing to chance.

Mumbaikars came together as one soul to help out everyone in need, and proved it to the world that #AamchiMumbai never backs down!

The Indian Navy donned their capes and showed us how every deed counts!
