Monsoon

Monsoon season has started.  It's a tad early but it's definitely here.  At least the temperatures backed off from 105F/40C to just below 90F/32C.  The humidity really kicks in after a good rain.  Sweat is not my friend.  The worst bit is the traffic.  It's bad enough as it is...just add water and it's a nightmare.  You see, the city sucks at planning any sort of infrastructure.  They can build a building alright but building a road to get to that building is an afterthought.  Same goes for streets.  Drainage is clearly an issue despite knowing that every single year at around this time it will start raining non-stop for 2 - 3 months.  Every year people.  Figure it out.  You can build a street but you need drainage.  And if you have drainage you need to keep it clear of garbage.  This seems to make no sense to people.  So this summer...we will be driving in rivers, not streets.  These are quite literally, views from the backseat. 










Is this a good enough excuse to buy Wellies and bring them back to India?  I've always wanted a pair!
