Winter's here with a vengeance this year. It's cold. Fog's all over. In case you don't how bad the fog is, airlines change their schedule to land early afternoon otherwise they can't see. Driving at night when the fog hits is a nightmare. You can't see more than 100 m sometimes. And it really freaks me out when idiots on bikes ride around here with the lights off. Dude, I can't see you, I will hit you, you will die. I mean what the fuck !
Anyway this year it's ridiculous. Load shedding is 4 hours a day. I mean load shedding in winter? What the hell. And gas shedding.Yes there is such a thing. Lahore has gas shedding. 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. it was announced. I am lucky I live in DHA, where the gas supply is pretty good. Being S.E Asian, I shower twice a day regardless of how cold it is, so it's a damn good thing there's gas to heat up the geysers (hot water tanks)(yes they call them geysers here, pronounced geezer).Most S.E Asians shower lots due to our 30 plus degrees at home. I mean you will reek if you don't shower in that heat and humidity, so it's ingrained. That's why even when we go to places where it's bloody minus 20 we still shower.
And to top it all, there is a diesel shortage. Sigh....
