Paagal duniya hai! 
I feel sorry for the people who have such a rat problem in their homes that they have to buy a rat proof machine. Can you imagine, rats in the washing machine. Eeew!

- Gee Ramit, that sounds awful. Coming from the country, I can deal with mice (I even used to set traps for them) but rats are another matter entirely!
- Coming from a cool, dry climate, unfortunately I need a lot more than a ceiling fan to keep me comfortable. I really suffer in the humidity. I remember the first summer I spent in India. It was in Kolkata. We didn’t have air conditioning and I got so hot and uncomfortable (even while sleeping) I had to constantly put a wet face cloth on my forehead and around my shoulders to try and keep cool! I was sweating all the time and felt dizzy! It was bad!!

sharell, any luck with your new years resolution of “bun in the oven”
Ha! No Botham. It won’t be happening this year. Unfortunately, I simply don’t have the time because I have to get my book manuscript finished (the book won in the end!). I can’t afford to be sick, especially after the whole malaria thing. It will have to be next year’s resolution now!!

Hi Lucky, unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be a facility for allowing editing of comments. Sorry! I’ve tried to find it a number of times. - Consumerism and Child Raising in Mumbai
Great story Jayesh! My husband told me he once went on a hunger strike to get something he wanted when he was a kid!!! Unfortunately, it worked. Although I think his parents brought him up well, he did get a bit pampered being the eldest son. - Which “Wala” is That?
Haha! Everyone would want to join the rat removal business and being an engineer might become unfashionable!!
Until all the rats get exterminated and then what!?
Everything is just really costly back home. But then again it cost 1800 rupees to get the bed bugs done here recently!
As for Ganpatti bappa, I prefer to think of his vehicle as a standard chuha rather than the repulsive rattus rattus!!

Rat proof sounds good. Trust me, it does. I had a rat infestation recently.
They just have a sheet fixed to the bottom of the machine so no rats can go in. It’s sealed shut. That’s all. It’s really a useful idea.
During the summer heats there, a ceiling fan is enough to keep you comfy.
And the rats must’ve gotten into the washing machine to take a bath.

If you are used to dry or cold climate, you’ll hate humidity. The thing I hate about humidity is my hair sits well in dry weather and in a humid place, it doesnt sit calm cause of the sweating. Once you get used to it, you’ll be fine.
