It has started raining cats and dogs here in Kolkata since 2 am on Tuesday 2025-09-23. 

It's past 3.45 am while posting the videos recorded from the 1st floor balcony of my house near Salt Lake Stadium. There's no respite from the intensity of the downpour. 

Saptami of Durga Puja is less than a week away. Only hope that the festivities don't get washed away. 

Roads in Kolkata will be totally waterlogged almost throughout the morning and afternoon. 

Drive safe. 

Too many panautis have swarmed West Bengal!
