Whoa...nice comparison..true indeed. Infact it was really astonishing to see Mumbai back to business within 48 hours. But the fact to see here is also tha New Orleans is completely under water..the damage done by Katrina can be said far greater than Mumbai. :) As far as the relief reaches in damage-stricken places on time..alls well.
