Nor'wester!

I just want to put this on record: after many, many years, it is actually cold here today, on May the first! After the third kaalbaishakhi of the season (that itself had been playing truant for three successive summers at least), the temperature fell so sharply in the evening that I had to switch off the fans, and some of the kids were shivering as we stood in the squall outside my classroom, waiting for their parents. Well, at 21 degrees celsius right now, it at least feels cold, given that barely a week ago the mercury was nudging 39, and the weather app said it 'felt like' 46! 

Can't remember when the weather gods made me so happy in the recent past. All you who sleep tonight, sleep well, wherever you are.
