Water Crisis

I never knew Kathmandu had a water shortage problem, despite living here for the past three months. Shame on me and my privileged lifestyle. 

For the average person living here, water only comes through the taps one day out of five. Other times, they queue at wherever water is still flowing. 

No one used to buy drinking water (except foreigners like me) but now apparently it's big business. 


I tried recalling the last time I had water rationing in Singapore. I must have been five then and my Mom and I went downstairs with buckets to get water from the SCDF dude. Only thing is, that wasn't even a necessary rationing, it was only a drill just in case we really needed to do it. I remembered having fun watching everyone queue up to get water. 

This time I didn't have any fun at all.
