my brain is melting

My last day of work at SAATHII is a week from today, so I'm trying to wrap everything up, but it's been a little difficult the last few days because of the following reasons:

1) My laptop (finally) died. I guess all the sand in Cairo, and now the humidity in Calcutta, has finally gotten the best of it. I'm using a desktop at the office, but I can't take any work home.
2) There's been some major load shedding (aka rolling blackouts). Today, we didn't have power for three hours.
3) My brain is melting in the heat. There's no AC in the office and the load shedding puts the fans out of commission.

Can't wait to head to the mountains.

Hey Tahmid,
I hope this isn't seen as being over zealous but I had to drop you a note. My name's Nafisa and I'm about to head to Kolkata as an aif fellow in august. & I am also Bangladeshi-American. Either way, besides not being a huge fan of Jhumpa Lahiri, I thought your doodle slide show was brilliant! I will now proceed to scan your blog.
Enjoy the rest of your time there. You will need to fill me in on what on earth to do next year, if you have time!

best!
Nafisa
