Finally a good night of sleep, although with a little help of Benadril. Just as I walked out of the building another one of those tropical showers start. I stand there for a while and watch the rain. Seven years of desert climate makes you appreciate rain. I go back to my apartment and wait. After 15 minutes it stops, but the street is completely flooded and I need to walk some 50 meters to get an auto-riksha. Fortunately, wife of the watchman (maintenance guy) notices me and sends him to get one for me. I am very grateful and try to express that with a small tip, but she wouldn't take it. I thank her and get in the riksha. Water is everywhere, but it is commuting time and people are going to work as usual. Some in cars, but most on two-wheelers and they are completely drenched. I wonder how their day at work is going to look like. I was told that this kind of rain is very unusual for this time of year. Rainy season here is November and December, but in last few years they get rains like this even during the summer. It was raining the whole day and I was in the office whole day. Bed time.
