Accu-Weather? Not so much.
About three weeks before the visit to Birlasoft, Ted, Anil, and I decided to see what the weather would be like in Chennai. We went to the Web site for Accu-Weather, the world leader for weather forecasting.
We panicked. We thought about exporting ice cubes. 130 degrees? Were they kidding? What sort of humans can exist in 130 degree temperatures? Who in the world would willingly live in such conditions? No wonder they use centigrade. 40 degrees seems mild; 130 seems absolutely put-me-in-a-straightjacket-and-leave me-in-the-padded-cell crazy. Every day we checked the weather. Every day we said they've got to be kidding.
Turns out they were.
The weather here has been delightful. Sure it's been hot, but it's been about as bad as L.A. with 100 percent humidity in July. You know, 94 degrees and really humid. The heat lasts until around midnight, but that's really been the only difference.
While the other shoe may drop and the mercury may indeed soar, well, right now we're enjoying the balmy weather and wondering what the hell we're going to do with all those ice cubes.
Shouldn't be a problem, you really can't drink the water here anyway.

OK, so now I'm curious about these peppery questions that you keep consuming - are they hot and spicy, or just mild and tasty? So many things to learn about Indian cuisine!
