Tuned Out in Kolkatta

I don't know how K. does it, but in this city with its zillion assaults on the senses, he is completely tuned out! I mean, I come home from visits to friends and relatives with my nerves buzzing from near-misses with mini-buses and pedestrians but K. is totally Zen. Most of the time is taken up with visits to relatives and friends. S. is thrilled because my friend from college has a son about the same age so life here has been one long play date. Baby is of course still bewildered and clingy. The food is very good but there is too much of it, so alas I will have to go home to Connecticut and do penance for my gluttony. Gym, here I come. There is plenty of help here domestically but the nanny my mother hired is a complete failure. She has no technique and the baby will not go to her, period. So I am stuck babysitting day and night. I am getting annoyed but what to do? Oh well, will be home soon with all my daily schedule of work and home, etc.
