Cruel Summer

Recently a friend's relative visited her from Chennai and lo and behold the guy remarked, "Bangalore is hotter than Chennai". The mercury is rising higher and higher every year rendering the summer crueler and harsher. Chopping the giant trees only adds to the misery! Who would have dreamt that the garden city will turn this infernal!

Weekends are spent under the fan incarcerated at home. Evenings too have ceased to be pleasant, so my constitutionals have altogether stopped :-( In such summers, I am glad to be a software coolie cooling myself in the modern ergonomic prison called office, which thankfully has air conditioning. (But the little twerp breathing down my neck adds to my aggravation.)

Oh my dear rain gods, have mercy on us and shower with all your might! I promise I shall never complain about you again to the stupid sun!
