While Mumbaikars Battle Excessive Rains, Help Pours In From All The Directions Online
Mumbaikars woke up to heavy rains on Tuesday, facing one of the heaviest rainfall in the year. That said, the ever joyous and ever lively Mumbai came to an uninvited halt.
It's getting scarier with each passing hour ?? #MumbaiRains pic.twitter.com/y7eA2CdGL4

The continuous rainfall left the entire city in waist-deep waters - cars, trains, even buses succumbing to it. Needless to say that this "typhoon-like weather" has put the entire city on a slow ride. People are stuck wherever they were, traffic has escalated, hitting trains and flights.

Amidst this obstacle, what's keeping the fervour alive is the spirit of Mumbaikars. Many people have taken to Twitter to offer help to people who are stuck on the road. While some are giving away free rides and asking for locations, others are inviting people to their homes.
Meet the nice humans from Mumbai, who are epitomising godliness.
