rain, rain, rain

all this rain in sydney!! its so dark and gloomy....stuck indoors

reminds me of the time i got stuck in the chennai floods in 2005

i thought i was oncall for the whole weekend, but it turns out i'm only oncall for monday, and then next weekend...being called to the hospital is probably the only thing that would get out of the house in this sort of weather, but luckily that wont happen, at least on saturday and sunday.

its ironic that whilst its absolutely pouring down in sydney, and it reminds me of that delayed monsoon in 2005, chennai is currently experiencing 40-45 C temperatures and there's a massive water shortage. my relatives in chennai have running water for one hour (4-5am) every second day. in this time, they have to fill as many buckets and other receptacles as possible to last for the next 48 hours.
