Have a headache from the vagaries of the weather ( the plant is AC'ed at 25 C & outside the wind draws gasps at about 10 C )--still adore winters more than summers any day.
About halfway through ' THE EVEREST HOTEL" --a quaint tale--reminds me a shade too much of OLD FRIENDS ( Simon & Garfunkel )dunno why. A decent read though. Sealy talks through the changing months ( a la Ritusamhara ). A motley bunch of characters unite in a hamlet called Drummondganj--interspersed with the innuendos at Uttaranchal, Chipko and even changing nun habits ( pun intended). Lotsa nature, lotsa outdoors--so far so good.
