Today was so hot!! I don't know the exact temperature, but it was WAYYY too hot to be in direct sun!! I didn't do much today, apart from read the entire book of Life of Pi (yes the whole book!!) and occasionally throw the ball for some of the boys who were off school, and stop then from fighting and hitting eachother. One of them has a cast on his legs but still hops around the place, kicking the ball with his casted leg, chasing others around, and others squishi...

Today I met a bus load of Americans. So the original plan was to go to this apparently amazing place for a picnic, where there have a swimming pool, slides, swings, nice food etc etc. but unfortunately they've closed for the winter. So we decided to bring the picnic here. Sort of. The kids had just the morning in school, apart from those in wheelchairs, and those who find it the hardest to walk.

For most the day, I chatted and played with the 2 girls who stayed behind (Lalita and Sarswati - not too ...

Forget spiders. Forget daddy long legs. Forget boiling nights. Forget dusty and smelly cities. At the centre, they have cold showers. Now these showers are no ordinary cold showers. The drinking water is warmer than the showers. I now feel so so smelly and yucky because I can't bear to get into the cold shower again. So today felt really long...
