Back in India

Monsoon has come since I left India. The full force of monsoon just arrived about 10 days ago -- nearly a month later than usual. I think the blame is being put on "El NiƱo" in the Pacific -- pushing the monsoon rains away from the subcontinent. No matter, it's green and humid, and not especially hot. We're back to clothes that never dry and wooden things getting moldy overnight.

Welcome back! This is what my "duster" (dusting cloth) looked like after wiping down our sofa. That's seven weeks of "dust" -- really more like seven weeks of soot. Monsoon helps with the air quality, so this is probably only 5 weeks of major dust and 2 weeks of monsoon dust. Just think of what this is doing to our lungs.
