Indus floods but India normal

Devastating floods have plagued Pakistan and China. In China's Gansu province the floods have triggered fatal landslides. A quarter of Pakistan is said to be 'under water', with the waters still rising. The global financial crisis has also inhibited the generosity of developed countries, making Pakistan's plight in particular that much worse. In contrast to the monsoon flooding causing the Indus River to overflow, the monsoon season in India is running about 4% 'below normal.' See this link.... http://www.imd.gov.in/section/nhac/dynamic/seasonalra.htm Region for region the overall picture is about normal after a slow start. This will help India deliver a decent crop this year which in turn should lead inflation lower. The Reserve Bank of India has hiked interest rates several times but if the crop comes through it will be able to take its foot off the brake soon. The QSL is from Lanzhou in China, the Gansu province People's Broadcasting System. QSLs from provincial broadcasters are not easy to get and I've sent many reports enclosing mint Chinese stamps with very limited success.
