Scary. Funny.
As I’m clearly lacking much time to work on PictureSync for Mac due to the stealthy startup, I’m looking to hire a Mac dev here in Delhi!
Score one for Jacob v. the Autowallahs: Rs.30 from Lajpat E block back to Uday Park (ud-day pare-ak). It’s roasting, and I’m full of chaat.
Hmm. I don’t think it’s worth an hour+ of my time to go up to Connaught Place Deutsche Bank just to save seven quid on an ATM withdrawl.

Oh god, I’m drinking Fosters, how can I sink this low?!
Has to be said lightly breezy Delhi evenings are rather pleasant, but for the cacaphony. Ooh, new streetlights on lala lajpat, I can see!

Automated calls flogging ringtones whilst you’re in the middle of a lovely nap listening to soma.fm are Satan’s hand at work. Rude bastard.
Impressed that the Times of India covered the Earth Policy Institute’s Himalayan glacier meltage warning. http://x.se/q6wk http://x.se/hvau

Don’t leave your roti (chapati) on the gas flame when you’re lost in thought, you’ll only get a wafer of ash and perhaps some scorch marks.
There’s a chap who paces around the tiny park next to our office three times every evening. Before settling into his sofa with a scotch?
My auto driver just used his indicator. Unheard of. Also, breast-feeding in public—how can that be okay if PDA is not?
I hadn’t realised, but it’s hit 35°C here. Delhi’s expected summer power requirements: 4400MW; production yesterday: 700MW; capacity: 1900MW
Today I said goodbye to Vikas, who in his brief 15 days with us managed to punch out destination classes for 15 providers. Nice one.
Also, four water balloons were thrown at me whilst strolling through the colony for an auto, two hit me. Scoundrels. It’s not even Holi yet.

Hoooray. Unlike the Sula, this Grover Vineyards Indian Sauvignon Blanc actually has a cork, not a screwtop—ugh. Nice colour. Not bad.
