Week 1 down

I am surprised how many people are clicking on this. 250 views of the blog already.

I did confirm that the bathroom sprayer was to “Clean the bum” and not the feet. The sprayer was introduced 2-3 years ago and has been quickly accepted as the new hygienic cleaning device. Remember the outhouse scene for Slumdog Millionaire where the man having to use the outhouse was carrying a bucket of water? I overlooked it the first time I watched it. That was the old way. Just one way India is staying eco-friendly, less paper waste.

Plus with the heat, the locals are even complaining. It has been a draught year and the hottest year in the last 50 years. Delhi is at the same lognitude as Phoenix and Austin. However it is get dark around 7:30 at night.

Another difference over here is the frequent power outages, about one every 2 hours. The power is only out for about 10 seconds before the backup generators kick in. Almost every PC in the office has a battery backup device. From what I have seen so far, it looks like they burn through them very quickly.
