Stuff I like

Still trying to catch up on the inbox. Losing, but trying.

Heard back from Ashok in Bangalore just now. I'd asked if the storms that brought killer rains and floods in Mumbai had also had any major unexpected effects in his part of India. His response:

"... nothing here in Bangalore, just the usual monsoon rains..."

Just the usual monsoons.

Very glad to hear he's OK.

Man. Now there's a book title for one of these days...
