Well, we are here in Calcutta (sorry, Kolkatta) where I was amazed to note as we stepped outside the airpport, it was cooler than Connecticut! But ever since, it has been getting hotter and muggier so it doesn't feel too different from when we left.
The parents are of course delighted because all three grandchildren are here and the house is full of the sound of laughter and of my daughter screaming her lungs out whenever the specially-hired nanny approaches her.
The jetlag is spectacular! The kids go to sleep every morning at 10:00 and then wake up after lunch. They both wake up at night at 3:30 AM! And then sit like little owls in my parents bedroom with Cartoon Network switched on. Honestly, my folks have to be the best grandparents around! Not only do they not mind the invasion of their bedroom at that ungodly hour but my mother actually gets up and makes everyone tea at 4:00 AM. Not the kids of course. Speaking of television, all of S's favorite shows are here - Sponge Bob Squarepants, Avatar, Drake and Josh, etc. all dubbed in Hindi. S. sits hypnotized by it all even though he probably understands nothing.

Oh "specially-hired" as in specially hired for the baby, to take care of her and her needs. It was a failed experiment as the baby really does not care for strangers.
