One thing India and Pakistan have in common this week is water - a lot of it.
Both companies suffered serious flooding from relentless rains over the last week.
Reuters: Floods maroon hundreds of thousands in India and Pakistan - nearly 300 people dead already.
Schools and industries are shut down in some areas. Hundreds of thousands of people have had to be shifted to higher ground.
While some have been killed by the water, others have been killed by mudslides - like in Pakistani Kashmir.
Areas and cities affected include: Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay), Surat (an industrial town in Gujarat), and the Pakistani part of Kashmir, towns of Nasik and Nended in the state of Muharashtra.
Farms were hit badly by flash flooding in Baluchistan province, taking away the crops and livestock from the villagers' farms.
