The thirst of Cochin is finally being quenched by some wonderful rain that refused to let up for a couple of days. It rained last night as well, but yesterday afternoon was humid. It's the same right now, although the morning was so peaceful & lazy that I went to my room at 10:30/10:45 and went to sleep till almost 12:30. Listening to some flamenco guitar only helped the mood.

My cousin Suraj dropped a bomb (atleast that's what he thinks & most of my relatives are acting like it is) a few days ago, when he said that he wants to marry a girl from his office, who is a Christian. I know some of my relatives are going to act like it is a crime, but for an Atheist like me - who the fuck cares who you chose to spend your life with. Because it is him, he is going to defend his decision and there will be some hot words passed around. If I were in the same predictment, I would to. Underneath the show of religious differences, we all have to shit & pee! Makes no difference if you go to a church, mosque, gurudhwara, temple or synagogue after that.

Anyway, I was online most of the afternoon and evening yesterday, as I usually am. This is one habit that does not require much money. Around 8:15 I was walking back home when Suraj came in his car. He, my dad & I went to the Suburban Club for some dinner & beers (my dad had a couple of his usual whisky). But it was a hot & humid night which kinda ruined the atmosphere. Plus Suraj wanted to talk about this affair that he has going on and his impending marriage and he was getting a bit heated up (or was that just the weather).
