Monsoon mayhem is the buzzword, even before the season has well and truly hit Mumbai. Unfortunately, we see a number of injuries and also a few rain-related casualties as an unnerving start to the rains.

While battling that, we also have an example of myopia and plain illogical thinking. This paper carried a report on three bio-toilets near the Radio Club on the promenade leading from Gateway to the SoBo club. The loos have been shut because they are being battered by high winds and lashed by waves. Installed there because of the considerable tourist footfalls, the toilets had a charge of '5 for use.
