101 things update

I can cross off my list:

43) Sleep without the air conditioning once during Delhi’s summer. A circuit shorted last Saturday night, leaving me sweating and miserable, but still semi-rested.

62) Have my Dooney and Burke purse repaired (lining resewn and zipper replaced). S took it to the Chinese shoemaker's shop, where they seamlessly did the work for Rs 150. Talk about bang for the buck.

101) Publish this list on my blog. Well...duh.
