It’s been an interesting week here in India. For one, Pune has been bombarded by torrential rains all of last week, which is usual after a cyclone hits the east coast of India, as Remal did at the end of May.

Things came to a head on Saturday, when Pune had the worst rainfall it’s seen in June since 1991. Several parts of Pune were flooded, a friend was stuck in traffic for four hours getting home, my parents’ house flooded (only a bit, thankfully), and a video went viral of a man floating down a busy road on a foam mattress.

It’s been a nice week at Casa Bidikar.

I’ve finally started working out regularly again. I’d been waiting for my various chronic pains to recede enough, and I’d got myself a gym membership at the beginning of the month, but it took a while to find the bandwidth and motivation to start going regularly. My aim is to hit two functional training days and two cardio days per week minimum, and anything above that is gravy.
