A homeless Indian man walks on the beach in Bombay August 4, 2005. India's share index rose to its ninth-straight closing high on Thursday, boosted by a major asset spin-off by Reliance Industries and robust foreign fund flows, as India's financial hub and film capital is gradually returning to normal life after a devastating flood killed nearly 1000 people and wreaked havoc on the city's rail, road and flight services.
