Thank god for the weather!

So the weather's been absolutely scrumptious these last few days. Not the best weather to get much work done, but then no one said the world was supposed to be perfect, eh?

We had to drive down to CP on Saturday to visit a client's site at the Statesman House and there were four of us and it was raining all the way and the radio was belting out rock from the 70s through to the 90s and it was perfect! Work barely took an hour which meant we had time enough for roadside bread pakodas, tikki sandwiches, chai and languid smokes a-plenty.

Aby was feeling exceptionally generous (the weather does that sometimes, dunnit?) so, broke as the rest of us were, we decided to head to Big Chill at Khan Market for dinner. Pity the place was overfull, and we had to settle for beer, spiced jamaican rum and pasta at Chona's, a couple of blocks down from Big Chill. After the build up we'd have been disappointed, but for the weather and Aby's largesse, of course.

I think my one tip to tourists jetting down to India for a holiday would be- visit us during the monsoons. As long as you're not bothered about being more than a little damp all the time you'll love it. The rain turns everything into one big, happy thingummy and you feel in love and there's dance in your bones and a song on your lips and you want to stop and kiss random pretty women on the streets.

Here's to the weather, then!

Chilled Corona, with a slice of fresh-cut lemon and Captain Morgan Jamaican Spiced Rum are my two new favourites for the season. Cheers!
