San Francisco is cold and foggy again and I’m loving it.
We had quite a scare last week, when it was sunny and hot. I thought the heat would never end. I could actually walk outside in shorts for extended periods of time. We had to open all the windows in our apartment, it was so hot. I got tan lines from running outside, dammit! Since when did San Francisco become L.A.? What’s next, an epidemic of breast implants?
When I first got to Wisconsin from sunny Bombay many years ago, I missed the sun and the warmth during those nine-month-long, subzero-wind-chill Wisconsin winters. Now having lived here in San Francisco for the past year or so, the sun has begun to annoy me. I mean, I still respect photosynthesis and all, but do we really have to see it in action? When the sun comes out, it forces everyone to be cheery, and I hate to break it to you, but I don’t want to be happy. I like it cold and foggy. Please donate my Prozac ration to someone who needs it.
I figure that the reason I like this weather so much is the subliminal coercing from the British Raj days. You know, when they tried to hypnotize every Indian into liking British weather. I guess it skipped a generation (or two) and worked on me. Just something to think about.
Anyway, all I have to say is: I’m looking forward to the rest of the week.
And oh yeah, if you’re planning on visiting, remember to bring a sweatshirt.

haha I love cold and foggy. Well lets say I am not a big fan of 80 F hitting SF. I thought this Sunday at Stern Grove was perfect weather. No sun, but not freezing either. It was pleasantly cool. I have bad tan/burn memories of July 4th in Crissy Field!
I can do without the annoying drizzle though.

I was trying to figure out if the above post was sarcastic or not :p
The show was really good. I also liked the non stop bhangra collective. They started the show off and brought a lot of energy to the crowd. I have some pictures of the event if you want to see them.
Gavin Newsom also showed up! A friend and I got a picture with him

no sarcasm. we were planning on going to the show, but something else came up last minute, so i was just curious.
don’t worry about the pics. but you should do a write up of the show on your blog and post them there.

Yeah I should, but I am so lazy, I like reading other people’s blogs (esp when I should be working) and never post in my own!
