Before you ask, the tap in the office kitchen isn't broken, because the building has had no water since six this morning. Owing to the heat, the borewell under the building ran dry last week, which is why there's a tanker parked outside the gate. Welcome to April in Bengaluru, the month nobody ever puts on the tourist posters.
你先别问,办公室厨房的水龙头没坏,大楼从早上六点起就没水了。由于高温,大楼下面的井上周干了,所以门口停着一辆送水车。欢迎来到四月的班加罗尔,这个月份从来不会出现在旅游海报上。

I'd heard that Bengaluru was called the Garden City, so I expected rain and trees, not a water tanker at the gate. Is this normal for the time of year, or is something unusual happening? In Toronto I've never once thought about where my water comes from, which I'm starting to realize is a luxury.
我听说班加罗尔被称为「花园城市」,所以我以为会看到雨和树,而不是门口的送水车。这在这个季节正常吗,还是发生了什么不寻常的事?在多伦多,我从来没想过我的水从哪儿来,我开始意识到那是一种奢侈。
