phew..am in a furnace

ya, in an oven called chennai.. its HOT..just too much to venture out in day times..really too hot..those age old sentences of solace like " last year it was not as bad as this.." or " oh man, last year was better" etc is not working..its frying..am planning to plant more creepers on all sides and pack my 'mottai madi' with many plants..lemme see if it helps..
meanwhile this forced house arrest means some time to read..though am not able to read at the sooper pace of my wife, am slowly completing some very interesting books like - T.M.Mukundan's "Ery system of South India" then Indukanth Ragade's " Self reliance in water" ; Masanobu Fukuoka's "One straw revolution"... these are must have and must read books..put ur hands on them if u can, asap..
may be i shud sit and write about these books soon, but now i better go and finsih them all. (yeah, I read a couple of books at a time..my bad conc and fone calls is not letting me finish at one sitting..also i read more than a couple of books so that i can switch when i feel enof of one subject how ever good it may be)
