Do rainy days make you feel rested or unproductive?

Do lazy days make you feel rested or unproductive?

Do permit me to rephrase the question as said above. Yes, it’s raining “cats and dogs” in the city I live in. One can’t rest his/her feet when it’s training here as our city Chennai is prone to flooding. Even a small rain keeps us on our toes. We keep dialing the authorities, speak to them, provide about flood updates and ask for machinery that pumps water out where there’s inundation. Watch news and set out to volunteer for the people who are marooned. So a rainy day for many school children may be a lazy day as most of the schools declare holidays during mansoon but for adults like us is “one of the most productive days” in our life.

An affair with one’s own wife in Indian marriages!

What aspects of your cultural heritage are you most proud of or interested in?

Amidst a bonhomie, invitation sent to hundreds and thousands and a week long festivity culminating in a marriage of two distant souls. All arranged strictly by the elders in families. The couple have never met before. Not a word spoken. Pushed into a bed overnight with a whole lot of family guarding the door near the bed. One should live in a joint family from the day next. All their life. You’re allowed only to enjoy a limited private time with your partner. I shall call it an ‘affair’ with one’s own wife. And it’s traditional here in India.
