A whole wet week in Jaipur

Sunday July 17th, 2011: The whole of last week I was in Jaipur. It rained almost every day and I had the feeling that I was in Kolkata. When it rains it is celebration time in the far flung regions of Rajasthan because it is the rain water harvesting and storage that helps the parched city face the rest of annual dry spell. 

Ironically, a couple of years back, this desert city had floods which is quite unusual.
Sometimes I wonder whether the weather condition that has changed so much in recent times is for good or bad. Are we already in the throes of the effect of global warming?
Today evening I shall leave for Kolkata.
