H2 Zero

So we ran out of water. This is not an uncommon occurance in India during this period; June is the worst month for water and electriciy in India. The warm weather causes the water level to drop dangerously low, causing water shortages all over the country. Electricity cuts are equally common as the hydroelectric dams that power the sub-continent are unable to produce the energy to satisfy India's ever growing electricity requirements.

Apparently, during this period of acute water shortage the clinically insane tenent on the ground floor decided it would be a smashing idea to water her plants. And since we all share the same three water tanks in the house, we ran out of water by Friday night. The stupid bitch.

It could have been worse, though. The 6 of us had about 10 litres of drinking water to last us through the day (sufficient), and 2 buckets of water that we could use to bath or flush the toilet with (insufficient). So in the spirit of conservation I decided to give myself a challenge: The 2 litre shower challenge!

This is no easy feat, my dear friends. If you had a body as generously proportioned as my own, allowing yourself only 2 litres of water to shampoo, shower, brush your teeth and shave is very...VERY difficult.

Nonetheless... Success! hahahaha!
