26/7 - The Disaster

What started as a regular monsoon day at 12 p.m turned out as the most frightening experience in my life yet. The pics are only indicative of what happened around our office - the reality around Mumbai was incredible. It sends chills of fear everytme it drizzles, even now. The top shot show the tops of our landlord's cars at about 4 p.m. Yes and there's a brand new Suzuki Swift with some water inside, later all the cars were submerged fully, including mine and all my colleagues. Indeed, it was one of the worst times Bombayites have seen in a long time. And for me, personal loss with the office submerged and my vehicles ruined!

1992-2002 characterised by frequent trips to St Peters & Arvind Nagar. Can't imagine how I would have pulled through those years without Alby, Mini, Kuriachayan, Thankamma Koch & the kids' support. Truly Bombay became a second home only thanks to you all. Thanks & much love!

Seen are the pics of the new office in 2000. After a few years of hard work on our own, ETC became Seventy and we had a new office at Jivan Kiran and sunk in all the money we had to renovate the dump! The results were and still is great, in spite of the floods during the disaster of 26/7/2005. Except the exponential growth we have had. From 2 people in '97 to 50+ now, its getting very difficult to accommodate everyone. So there goes... we move again, soon.
