here.

ravi's laptop does not take to monster fingernails. so please pardon the occasional missing letter from words in the post below.

finally, we're together, after 98 days of eternal damnation. ok, well, it wasn't that bad. being that far apart for that long from each other somehow strengthened the relationhip and gave me (not him, cos he had to start making new friends) the opportunity to hang out with my friends more (hence i was barely sober half the time).

every 2nd person you see here is Indian, i felt i was on a holiday in Kerala or something, except we were shopping in Carrefour and cheering on Brazil in a British pub called Double Decker (where they serve bloody excellent Fish n Chips).

there isn't a cloud in the sky and if you want to know how hot it is here, night temperature, when it's supposed to be cooler, is aroud 35-37 degrees Celsius.

i am 2 weeks away from a major heat rash breakout and an asthma attack from the minuscule desert dust floating around.

and ravi, the bastard, he's lost so much weight.

i'm definitely gonna put on weight here, the menus here were good enough to eat.
and if you stay away from a poseur lifestyle, it can be pretty affordable.

and Klorane hair products here are faaaaaaaar cheaper than in Singapore.

and here, you drive on the LEFT SIDE - i'm gonna get killed if i don't remind myself that.

and no, it isn't true, there ARE trees here.

amidst all useless pointers above, it's just important that we are together again.
