| It was raining this morning, and it's expected that there will be more raining this week. Monsoon season has begun ...

| I've been sleeping better this week. Because of the rain, the temperature has come down; I feel a little more comfortable at night. A lot of people are dying around the country though because of this rain and flooding ...

Over all, it was a pretty productive day. Ok, I could've done better but better than last several days. Still one major problem though.
I was supposed to meet someone today to go over a few things, but the meeting was canceled ... again. The thing is that making appointments and setting up meetings mean nothing around here. 'punctuality' is not a part of vocabulary in India ...

It should rain today, but it was just another sunny day yesterday.
Monsoon season in India is pretty well known, but compared to other parts of India, New Delhi / Delhi doesn't suffer from it severely. I guess it's one of reasons why New Delhi / Delhi has been the capital of India for so many years ...

Wow ..., check out this newly wed.
Life is tough here ...
They fell in love and are now paying a price for that.
A panchayat in Haryana has given death sentence to a married couple for tying the knot despite coming from different castes.
Manoj, a dalit hailing from Nooh village of Haryana, married Rimpy, a girl from the influential Saini community of the state at an Arya Samaj temple in Delhi on June 18 defying opposition from the girl's family.
The marriage raised the hackles of the elders in Nooh village, who issued a death fatwa of sorts on the couple.
Since then Manoj and Rimpy have been running for their lives and reached Hauz Khas police station in New Delhi on Wednesday.
“We are running for our lives. Sainis want us dead. Girl's father has been threatening to kill us,” says Manoj’s grandmother, Lakshmi.
The couple says they got their marriage registered in the Tis Hazari Court on the June 19 and sent a copy of the certificate to the Nooh police station.
However, they claim police still filed a case of kidnapping against Manoj.
"They lodged a false FIR against Manoj on the 20th despite the papers having reached the police station on 19th,” says Manoj’s friend.
The Delhi Police initially sent Manoj and Rimpy back to Nooh. But after women's rights activists intervened, they were called back to Delhi. The two are now under police protection.

| I'm wondering how long this summer lasts. I expected that there was more rain, but for some reason, it's raining less in Delhi / New Delhi this year. Consequently, the temperature is not coming down ...

| I'll start learning Hindi next Monday. I can't say this definitively, but I'd like to believe that I'll start next Monday. The thing is that, around here, 'punctuality' means nothing. Also 'commitment' means absolutely nothing. So, in this particular case, there is no guarantee that my teacher will actually be ready this coming Monday. But if he's ready, then ... I'll start learning the third most widely spoken language in the world.

| Monsoon season is ending and many parts of the county have been apparently devastated by the rain. Well, it hasn't been raining a lot around here, however. It's good because even some rain creates a number of problems; it's bad because it doesn't bring down the temperature. It was pretty damn hot last night and I had hard time sleeping ...

| If Hindi is the third most common language, what are the first two? I'm guessing English and Spanish, but I think that's just a US thing.

Ok, so, today is Tuesday. Unfortunately, as I expected, Hindi lesson hasn't started yet. Maybe I'll start tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow. As I expected, the teacher is not ready, and I don't know when he'll be ready. "Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow ..." That's all he says ... *** sigh ***

Life was a bit difficult for the last several months. I’m hoping that I passed the turning point. I currently have my flat / home office and an actual (pretty crappy looking) office. My god, setting up this place took a lot of time and effort …
For a number of reasons, I have not been able to spend a lot of time in front of computers this year, but just recently, I started spending as much time in front of computers as I did last year. I need to bring up my productivity level …
