Water..........or lack of !

My time here has really made me appreciate the value of water. I do not think that there are any parts of Delhi that has running mains water for the whole day uninteruppted. Something that we all take for granted in the west. Where I live there is flowing water for about half a hour in the early hours of the morning and for another half an hour in the late afternoon. How does one manage I thought......

Well, we have a 500 litre tank on the ground floor that gets fill when the water does come and then we have to pump it up to the roof where there is another 2 tanks from where we can then draw on the water. It is OK so long as we do not waste the water needlessly. It does make me think twice about flushing the loo after a number 1 though :)

On a slightly different note......it is absolutely freezing here at night. The temperature has been dipping down to about 2 or 3 degrees and when you do not have central heating and only stone floors you can imagine. Thank goodness for electric powered oil heaters.

Actually even they are a bit of a luxury around these parts.

Will post again soon with something a bit more interesting. :))

Peace and love
