Would you like holidays in summer or monsoon?
The disastrous disaster management plan of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, which kept many people indoors in Bombay during rains and others stranded as usual, has spurred talk of schools being shut in Monsoons rather than in the simmering heat of summer.
It doesn't make much of a difference if holidays are swapped.
If the world were to observe Christmas on April 1 from next year and All Fools Day on America's Independence Day there might be some noises but the majority wouldn't mind.
So those who are irked by the holiness of their purported favourite days can just switch their days and celebrate some other day.
Corporates should also consider the Monsoon vacation plan. Fortunately, if they refuse to take affirmative action on those lines, the BMC think tanks will force them to do that.
That is a win-win situation for all and sundry. So why is it not pouring heaven and earth in Mumbai now.
Do we have to invoke a 26/7 cloudburst to get holidays in monsoon?
