...here for work nothing too exciting, just drafting 2 new project proposals, delivering 2 different trainings in 2 different cities, and monitoring 3 projects among 5 partner organisations across 5 different cities - no biggie.
The issue I have is with this whole concept of "load shedding", at pre-selected intervals (6-8 times per day) electricity is cut-off across segments of the city in order to not overwhelm the power plants, which cannot produce enough electricity to meet demand/need.
The reason the power plant gets overwhelmed is because it is summer - which means air conditioning season.
It's in the upper 40'sC (110'sF), not a really cute time to be without a/c. I don't know how we used to cope before but I do know that I am not built to stand it now.
In a week and a half I head to Dera Ghazi Khan, where temperatures will be in the 50'sC (120'sF). I fully expect to be hot, miserable, and bitchy. I already warned the project partner there that I am likely to find fault with everything - he's scared.
Sigh!

You dealt with it in Kolkata. Deal with it here! :)
I was wondering who had hit my blog from Karachi with no referencing link. Could it have been you? Be well!
That does not sounds like fun. The hottest place I have ever been was Death Valley, California. We were on our way back from Las Vegas and were sitting at a stand-still on the highway. The Car's outside thermometer read 123 degrees. Although, when we opened the windows of the car, it felt as if we were standing in front of a hair dryer. Anyway . . . . good luck in staying cool.
OMB, it's only hit the upper 90's (F) here and I feel like I'm in hell. I can't imagine dealing with 110!
I am jealous. I always am reading your posts! Hey, I will be in India in two weeks, which is not Dera Ghazi Khan, but same hemisphere? :) Anyway, best luck w/ everything!
