Pictures from wet and gloomy Hyderabad

The pictures were taken this morning and afternoon. The first photo was in the morning where the traffic jam was horrible due to the damage inflicted by the rainy season. The second photo is the famous Mojamzahi market, built by the Nizam and in the background you can see the heavy skies. And the photo above was taken at Tank Bund, overcast and heavy breeze as though a cyclone is expected.

The weather man had said that more rain is expected in Hyderabad and yesterday I saw a picture in the newspaper whereby the residents were using boats to travel as most of the places in Hyderabad was flooded. My only worry is that I got to get clothes washed and if it rains, where the hell am I gonna dry them. I am leaving on this Friday back to KL and I am hoping for the weather to ease up as everything is damp and gloomy.

Due to the jam, I had my lunch at 3.30 p.m. at KFC and the KFC in India is quite unique, I had original Chicken with Rice pulau and Dal Makhani, so it was quite filling. Now lets see what am I going to have for dinner? Indian Chinese perhaps!

It took me 2.5 hours to get to the airport from Madhapur when it was raining last Friday.

Mad rains and no proper rain water harvesting systems, make Hyd the worst place to be in during rainy season.

I think Friday was bad as I flew into Hyderabad on that day and it took me ages to reach Sainikpuri after a stop at Hotel Taj Deccan. Lucky for me as I got the last cab from the airport as the counter girl informed me that all the cabs that went out with paasengers didn't report back as they were stuck in one place or another. I plan to leave this Friday and hope that it doesn't rain on that day.

Happy Birthday Post

Guess by now I would have collected one of those and it's like getting closer to "home" that is if you get my drift. Woke up pretty early in the morning and my son from Moscow wished me "Happy Birthday" on MSN chat and it was about 1.30 a.m. there (God knows what he is doing up so late). My wife just wished me ...... It's a sad day for me as I know I am getting older and nearer too....(should I say grave....) Here are some quotes that I spotted on the net and would like to share them with you, to at least cheer me up..... Emily Dickinson We turn not older with years but newer every day. Bill Clinton When our memories outweigh our dreams, we have grown old. Cherokee Expression When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice. Paul H. Duhn You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt, as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear, as young as your hope, as old as your des...

Writer's block

Seems like I am stuck on what to write and where is my tea to perk me up? I am sitting in my cabin at my office and wondering what I should write. So far nothing interesting happened to me as it has been work, work and work. I was appointed as a Director for one of our subsidiary as a corporate nominee from my company. But the catch is, I am appointed as a Director with all the liabilities minus the extra cash. Am I being foolish? I leave that as it is and now I have to unblock my writer's block. Come on ideas, flow. Looks like it is dried up and maybe I should meditate and something might creep in while I am in bliss meditating. But then again, meditating in my cabin is not a good idea as it would construe that I am sleeping on my job or they might think that I have turned into a zombie. Yeah, I got my trip to Hyderabad on 09.11.2008 approved by the Directors and I am going to be there to wind up my residence and office, I would be there for a week (aha...paid vacation). Well that...

LIQUID LIFE

H 2 O In an irony worthy a Greek tragedian, the first act in the drama of water crisis is going to be a global flooding. Global warming will result in a rise in sea levels as the glaciers and ice caps melt, thereby depleting the earth's crucial reservoir of clean, non-saline water Nilakshi Sharma Frogs are being wedded to frogs in elaborate; ritually correct weddings in Assam in an effort to appease Varun, the rain god, because there has been no rain in Assam in the past few months and the ground water is drying up. Quillagua, a Chilean city that holds the distinction of being the driest place on this earth, is dying a parched death. Their lifeline, the river is dying. What the water companies have not taken away, far in excess of what they were supposed to take, the mining companies have polluted to unsustainable levels. In Chamoli, Uttarakhand, the smaller glaciers have disappeared and the largest one has retreated by many miles. United Nations Development reports are warning...
