10:30 at night - The Heat

According to weather.com at 10:30 on Friday night it is 102 degrees but feels like 115 degrees in Noida. It is stifling to walk outside. I have been drinking 3-4 liters of water a day and still am thirsty.

I was planning on doing some site seeing this weekend, but it is going to be 120+ degrees during the day. I will wait for it to cool down a bit. Many of the temples that are visited require you not to wear shoes or sandals. On red tiles and bricks, I am sure that would do some damage to my feet too.

I am finally getting my appetite back and ate dinner for the first time since I have been here. I had Dum ki Biryani with chicken. It was a basmati rice that was spicy and oily. The chicken was dry and still on the bone. There was very little meat, just alot of bones. They also gave me a side dish of pourage. It tasted and looked like sour milk with carrot pieces in it. One spoonful was more than enough for me. I tried a desert called ozuni, or something like that. It was like a white donut hole soaked in sugar water and served chilled. It was very sweet and took the spicy taste of the rice out of me. It was very good and great in this heat.
