salam aleikum.
(sneaking off a post from between meetings in Dubai again.. )
It is HOT here. Mumbai is cool and breezy compared to this thick heavy sandy heat. It’s around the low forties during the days and doesnt really seem to drop too much at night, probably to low thirties. Every building is heavily airconned to [...]

rain rain rain .. we’ve had heavy monsoon showers for last 5 days or so. It was particuarly heavy in the weekend. many of the north eastern suburbs are flooded out, despite resounding promises about a floodfree city by the council leaders all through May.
