It has rained every day consistently since I arrived. Yesterday, being a Sunday and a day off from asana classes at the Institute, Jill and I went on an outing with Nana. We had planned to go on an adventure but because of the rain we opted to take Nana to lunch and go shopping for some not-so-needed items …
It poured most of the day but we were able to stay dry in the back of the rickshaw. On the way home we drove over the Mula Mutha River twice (it winds around like a snake) which is filled to over capacity right now. People were stopped on the bridge and lined up to take pictures. Nana pulled over so we could get out and and join the gawkers. I took this 1-minute video so you can see how fast the water is moving.
I always have this remote thought whenever I take a video that I might unknowingly capture something special in the background. If you didn’t catch it the first time, watch again and pay close attention to the man in white standing near the bridge both at the beginning of the video when I began my 360 and at the end when I made it back full circle.
Meanwhile, as the rain continues the situation is getting worse. The river has swelled even more, causing serious concern there will be more flooding in some of the low lying areas. Today schools were closed, workers were told to go home early, and one of the bridges closed. The 2-week forecast calls for rain, thunderstorms or showers every day. I have more rain photos to share in the next post.
Here are some photos I took at the park which is right next to our flat. This little plant is the only one blooming right now.
Birdhouses.
That’s my flatmate, Jill, under the umbrella.
For some reason there’s an intersection in the park complete with stop lights, crosswalks and a stop sign.
Yuck.
Bee hive. Yikes, this is pretty much right below our flat.

Leftover homemade Indian food our cook made.
Blogged on Amma’s iPad from rainy Pune with LOVE.
All looks so wonderful except the mud, but especially your food & scenery.
Why the masks? I could guess but I’ll let you answer.
Hope all is going well.
Love, other Jill
It’s Good thing that intersection was in the park to keep all that traffic in order. We tried some of those yoga moves. Kando can do the last one very well. It was cool to see a video of the traffic. I have a feeling that was some relatively light traffic. Love kando, Alo, and Robb.
Update… We still can’t stand on our own heads.
