Afternoon delight

The monsoony afternoon clouds over Juhu beach, Bombay (Mumbai, India). Taken from the hotel we stayed in. It was a good day sky watching from the inside, and also watching thousands of Indians lazying out the afternoon ashore. It was a regular delight for me watching them and sometimes joining them. See the stormy weather did not prevent them from spending the time with their lovers, family and friends playing ball, sitting or sleeping on the sand despite the multitude, or even daring to swim in the grayish waters.

Cancelled flights

Sometimes it is hard to keep our cool especially if we have been so looking forward to go home, and then all of a sudden the flight is canceled due to plane’s hydraulic problems. So hubby’s flight is delayed for 36 hours. As frustrating as it was, I am still glad that at least nothing bad happened yet, God forbid! From Mumbai to New York direct flight comes only once a day. They found the problem out just when it is about to take off. Makes me wonder how thorough their inspections are. Still glad though though we would have to bear one more day. Just have to wait. Ggrrr..
