The situation here in Kolkata has changed dramatically within the last 24 hours. Yesterday I went to a cinema to see the film "The Bourne Ultimatum" as I have seen in a newspaper that it gonna be shown here. I was really happy to see the last movie of the Bourne Trilogie, oh yeah! But well, when I was to leave the cinema I was shocked, everything was flooded and there was no taxi in sight... always it`s like this when you don't need them taxi and rickshaw drivers are bothering you all the time and when you really need one there is nothing in sight or they are not willing to carry you...
24 hours later the situation has become even worse, almost the whole city is flooded, with me inside the mess. The water line in the streets has reached at least half a meter and more and the rain is not going to stop. Anyway the Kolkata people seem to be quite pleased about the rain and one guy told me, "leave your stuff at your hotel and enjoy the rain"!
At least regarding to my Manipur permission there is some good progress, my friend and others are working hard to get my valid permission issued for tomorrow or day after. There are a couple of people who really want me to come there and as soon as I get permission I will rush to the airport and catch a flight...

Na, dass kann ja noch heiter werden. Ich bin jetzt ein paar Tage in Rom und werde für Dich eine Kerze im Petersdom anzünden. Bitte zwing mich nicht, Rom in ein Lichtermeer zu verwandeln!
