Monsoon kills thousands..again !!!

I am writing this blog after being terribly disturbed and mentally shaken reading about the deaths of thousands of Indians and Bangladeshis this monsoon season! The season is far from over and the situation is getting worse year by year. If you read about people losing their children, their cattle, their house, their every minuscule belonging and are worried and depressed because of this, please join me in addressing this issue, as the time has come to put an end to the misery of our dear fellow citizens who are victimized every year by the fury of the South-west monsoon.
The general weather pattern throughout the world this year has been rather unrelenting. The winters have been intense, especially in parts of US and Europe which have seen rather unprecedented snowfall, and the monsoons have brought about rains that lashed several parts of the world, India in particular. What do we attribute this to? Is it 'Global warming' that is causing this? Or is it some sort of a peculiar arrangement of solar bodies? I am not much of an astrophysicist, but I would be interested in listening to the views of some of them. That apart, it is now a question of how to solve this problem. It can no longer be termed as a harsh reality that we have to live with; it is now time to start interlinking rivers, and if there are still some good men left in Indian politics, this should happen fast! I mean real fast...
The concept of River interlinking has been around for quite a while. However, as it always happens, our egotistical politicians always make it a point to not continue any good work that the earlier government had started. People address the river-interlinking concept after a disaster like this, but immediately forget once things get back to normal. Even the news channels forget to focus on this issue, and it becomes a forgotten topic. Had the Brahmaputra been linked to the rivers in the rain-deprived Rajasthan or the five rivers in Punjab, a lot of fatalities could have been avoided. Krishna river water is diverted to Tamil Nadu, which caters to the needs of the Chennai metropolitan area, is just an example how states can get mutually benefited. We dont need proof for the concept to work, it will just work fine! The media should be more relentless (like the monsoon) and not let the politicians off the hook...
