Did two things today that I had told myself, I would never do:

1. Succumbed to the temptation of "naukarshahi" and now have a maid stay 8 hours with me (she even made rotis today)
2. Bought 2 pirated Indian editions of books that were on my list. My only excuse is that the two authors are not at all indigent by worldly standards and will not notice this infraction.

Shame, Shame!!
