chennai mosquitoes...epidemic in the making??

did anyone notice that there are far too many mosquitoes this year around? summer has started and still we are infested with the menace of these little disease carriers...and there is a larger presence of the rats around??? and much of this is to do with the non-clearance of garbage on time. garbage, the only product the city dwellers produce is currently replacing our smaller streets as street top ornament, it has already replaced foot path and foot path vendors as the major holder of raodside space....saw the other day IT professionals trudging over a pile of garbage from their shanties around velachery to earn the daily dollar for their masters in odd hours and contribute to the Indian economy...the chennai economy will soon be dictated by doctor bills...we are heading for an epidemic if we don't deal with this one is my feeling...i hope i am proved wrong.
