Raining in Chennai
Geetha called her family in the Porur area of Chennai today to find that there has been extensive flooding, and that her parent’s house has actually been impacted.
It would seem that although the street they live on is one of the few in their area that is not flooded, the ground around their house is so saturated with water that it has begun seeping through the flooring in the lower levels. Geetha was on the phone for quite some time, and although it seemed pretty drastic, eventually the conversation seemed to focus more so on our trip, and “sister talk.”
We’re hoping everything is okay for them, and I personally am hoping they are takng care of themselves and not worrying /about our arrival.
Geetha’s long conversation today did drive home the fact that I need to expedite my learning Tamil. If not to talk or speak to be able to understand. It is very very frustrating for me not to be able to understand things, and once Geetha and her family get into their conversation they understandably quickly forget my mono-linquistic limitations.
The count down has officially begun in only SIX days we will be on a plane heading to India!
