Question

what impression do you get off the water in chennai

Answer 1

Sixty-seven-year-old Shanti Balachander, a resident of Chennai, has multiple alarms set on her basic Nokia phone. Every couple of hours as the phone breaks into an electronic rhythm, she goes to the backyard of her independent house and futilely moves the hand pump up and down. On Sunday, it was at around 6pm when her efforts finally bore fruit and water gushed into the buckets she had already kept ready.  

The homemaker from Adyar repeats this process every day, as there is no information from Chennai Metrowater authorities as to when or at what time she will receive water.
