I am done with me chatting to friends, i am done with e-mailing and i am done with posting for tonight, i am off to sleep - i get under the blanket, the AC is still on, so is the fan, and then suddenly it starts, slowly at first, the more and more wild, i get out of bed, pushes the curtains to the side, opens the window - i cant believe my own eyes, this is the most insane amount of rain i have every seen.. it is amazing the amount of water that is pouring down in a matter of minutes, the streets are easily flooded with water, the water tanks are starting to take in a lot of water, people are soaked on the street, traffic is slowing down to almost a stand-still .. you can here the sound of rain drops playing music on the tin roofs here, first it is nice and relaxing, but then once the intensity increases it because a noise level that is almost unbearable - good luck getting sleep in that weather (if you dont know this about me, i am a pretty light sleeper), i twist and turn for a bit of time, before flicking on the TV, i eventually manage to fall asleep, only to wake up to the voice of my yoga instructor on the other side of the door - already in full session with the team, i overslept, and it is still pouring down, now more than ever, i eventually manage to climb out of bed, move myself up to 2nd floor and get a bit of breakfast - or the sad left overs.. - and here it comes, i am reminded that Suanne and i, are invited for lunch in the slum, with a meeting with a local community afterwards, in this weather .. - how do i do that, do i cancel, i really cant so no to a person spending time on preparing food for us, and i kinda dont want to get stuck in the hotel just because of the rain - then i recall the advice that i got last night from my Indian colleague, and i know exactly how to solve the issues .... "dress light" ... i think i can manage that... lunch as far as i am interested is 100% on!!
