Wet & Dirty

Friday, 24th Oct 2008: After some cardio-exercise, while I alight from the car for some grocery shopping my wallet drops into a muddy puddle. It was raining cats and dogs and I take some time to fish it out of the puddle. My driver's license, visiting cards, cash, cards etc. all soaked and speckled with mud particles.
I get the feeling this is a 'to be continued...' situation.

Saturday, 25th Oct 2008: In the habit of reading while in the toilet, I place the newly-purchased fiction novel 'The Abyssinian Proof' very carelessly on top the geyser outlet tube in the toilet. And while I stand there and think of what to do next, the book falls straight into the blue-colored (Harpic stained) waters in the commode below. My wife then 'washes' it with the spray, 'disinfects' it with Savlon :-) and blow drys it with the hair dryer.
I think what is next? Probably me.

Monday, 27th October 2008: We get on a coracle (traditional round shaped boats ... rather floaters) at Bheemeshwari Fishing camp. A stinky wave from the rapids splashes on me and wets me to my underwear.
