quick update on India's Monsoon season
talked to my buddy at work from Pakistan
he treated me to a MSNBC website on South Asia

the monsoons are very late in India
it is causing serious problems with irrigation
weddings are still put off
now big concerns about agriculture and water supplies

I reminded him that they could divert water from the Ganges River
but only if they removed the alligators and floating dead human bodies
he laughed and punched my arm
I smiled, and said "and the feces"
he hung his head and laughed hard

I asked if monsoon late arrival would stall weddings further
he said nothing will stop Indians from getting married and buying gold jewelry in a BIG way
