Dancing in the rain

As planned PH took it easy at home most of today, and later went out exploring the city by himself. He was actually looking for a particular tree in Lalbagh, and eventually managed to find it too. Once back home, he recounted his experiences of the day of being greeted by random strangers on the road. Entire families would sometimes come up to him and have their picture taken with the friendly white guy :)

Apparently, everything was not all fun and games for good old PH, as he got accosted by a gay who probably just wanted to try his luck. That ended up in a sour note with the two getting into an argument. I felt bad for PH, but couldn't help grinning from ear-to-ear :D
PH is a funny guy even with his limited command over English. I'm sure he'll have his French speaking friends in splits most of the time!

It started pouring cats & dogs in the evening, and Shaarad was itching to get out in the rain. Finally, he couldn't control his urge anymore, and against all warnings from our cook, off he went and stood in the middle of the road in the torrential downpour. PH was out of the house in a jiffy as soon as he had seen Shaarad. I continued to stand in Shaarad's balcony and look at them in the street outside. Finally, the peer pressure became too much for me to handle; and I jumped out from the balcony and joined the other two.

We could see so many people staring at the three psycho buggers from their windows and balconies; but we were too busy dancing and playing around in the rain to even care!

When we'd had enough, we got back home and had an amazing chicken dinner prepared by our cook. Later, when the rain subsided, we went to Legends of Rock where PH bought us a few beers, while we watched the Royal Challengers Bangalore beat the Deccan Chargers to enter the semi-finals of the 2nd Indian Premier League.

When we got back home, we saw that the entire basement parking lot was flooded; but fortunately the water hadn't risen high enough to cause any serious damage to the engines.
