Delhi 6

9 am, I check the weather it says 40 degrees, and I moan. I am here in Delhi. Last Saturday on the way from the airport I was greeted by a man in a velvet jacket peeing on the pavement. I realized no amount of concrete roads can change us. It rained for twenty minutes which has effectively stalled my evaporation. As always this country amazes me.
