Summer blues

Sorry havent blogged for a while.Maybe its the unnatural summer heat and humidity for this time of the year or maybe Ive just felt dull and stupid.The heat has been awful with humidity hitting 90% on some days.Went and bought a new airconditioner for the living room,even though I know Ill soon get humongous power bills soon.My mind has not been at rest ever since my Aunty Karuna underwent an MRI two weeks ago.The doctors prognosis isnt too good and I feel very tense and fearful for the future.Her daughter is arriving on Sunday from the USA,and I cant help but feel a tad resentful that they(she and her sister) didnt get her checked up a bit sooner during one of their visits to Kolkata.I really dont know how this is going to be handled.Meantime Moti continues to be as exasperating as ever with his know it all comments and doing things his own way.The good news is that both his cataract operations were successful and now he can actually see.Thats a reward for all the trouble taken getting him to and fro from hospital and putting eye drops.Talking about eyes I got myself a new set of spectacles and reading glasses.The old ones were really bad and needed to be discarded.Moreover they hurt my nose.
My favorite Alphonso mangoes this season are non existent and for the first time I still havent tasted the fruit so late into April.A bad crop means no arrivals of the fruit in the market and the little being sold are at astronomical prices.I have bought a few dozen,but they have been ripening for the last 5 days.Im wondering whether Ive been ripped off .
