On TV last night there was a news article on the eclipse superstitions. To me the worst superstition was burying handicapped children up to their necks in sand during the eclipse. This would heal their issues. In one of the towns that had the full eclipse, there were hundreds of children buried up to their neck or up to where their handicap was. Also, one of the rivers had 150,000 people taking a bath in it during the eclipse for its healing powers. Those were the only two with positive energy. All the rest were for protecting themselves from the negative energy of the eclipse.

The BBC contacted me back and they were looking for an executive from a big American based company with both China and India experience to describe the differences in doing business between the two countries. The interview would be televised. I did not make the cut.

It was a clear day yesterday and I took a few pictures from the 6th floor balcony at work of the area and the sunset around 7:00pm. To the naked eye, the sun looks pink when it gets to the layer of the clouds. It must be the way it reflects off the clouds or sand. However in the pictures only the surrounding sky around the sun looks pink.

Today is a different story. First there was a dust storm around 1:30. From the window I could not see more than 100ft as there was so much dust in the air. Then the rains started around 2. Everyone went outside on the balcony to see the rain come down. The temp instantly cooled down. It was even tolerable for me. Then by 2:30 it was sunny again. Everyone’s hopes were up for the start of the monsoons, but it looks like it was a fast moving storm.
