Month: June 2003

Yesterday Nagpur experienced the hottest day in past 72 years. It was a sizzling 47.3C and is expected to continue for some more days. Thanks to NMC and MSEB there is uninterrupted water and electricity supply, but I never know when I will have to bite my tongue for saying it too soon. Since Nagpur has a very dry weather desert coolers are very effective.

Today I intend to keep an egg in a black box with water out and see if it cooks 🙂

On the somewhat colorfully brighter note – the heat has driven flocks of Blossom Headed Parakeets to our garden in search of food and water.

Otherwise life just is.

One words sums it all “HOT”. I mean really HOT. Nagpur is baking at 47 degrees for nearly past 7 days. So we essentially stayed indoors. It was only toward late evening that we stepped out to check the new Planet M outlet which has opened recently here. Picked up 9 CDs some of them real good. Shubha Mudgal, Begum Akhtar, but the gem is Abida Parveen singing Faiz Ahmed Faiz, Swati, probably, will write about it.

Later we have a nice dinner at one of our favorite eating joints. The cable connection continues to be plagued by UDP flooding. The last recommendation from my cable walla was why don’t I use M$ Windows like everyone else. I really am still under shock.
