The Great Indian Summer

From the past few days the tiny weeny pores dotting all over my body (ya i m talking bout the sweat glands) have become hyperactive and seem to make me aware of their presence 24x7. Can't remember a moment passing without my whole body being drenched by the slightly salty form of H2O. Whatever may be the activity I am engaged in (this is if u consider sleeping and eating as activities too) the slimy and wet feeling persists and sadly it can't even be ignored (even by those great souls who have mastered the art of not taking a bath for weeks together). The credit for this goes to none other than the Great Indian Summer. The quantities of sweat generated is so huge that collecting all of it produced in our college alone and treating it in a sweat treatment plant for further use, could atleast solve the irrigation problem of half the country.

The past month has been a horrendous experience and is driving me crazy. And then the janta keeps on reminding me that this is just the beginning (courtesy what we have been taught in geography). If this is so then there's absolutely no point in even giving a thought to what would happen in May n June (what's the point in tormenting urself beforehand??)

I am sure my non veg eating fiends can now imagine what a poor lil soul might feel like while getting roasted in a tandoori. It won't be much different from what we are feeling at the moment (not that they would stop savoring kebabs after this realization...:P). Crossing the corridors in our hostel wings to answer nature's call takes a brave heart and lot of determination (suggestion - go for it only after u hav tried negotiating hard with ur bladder to hold on for a bit longer....dun giv in easily...:D). And the feat of walking for 5 minutes in the scorching sun to reach the academic building or even the jhuups would deserve a recommendation for the President's bravery award. Believe me bathing is no longer a way to beat the heat coz just tell me how does one take a bath wid water at boiling temperatures and xcpct to cool off?? (and this is if u r lucky nough to find sum water in the hostel taps....usually u can sight a few droplets for an hour a day or so....i m nt exaggeratin at all...:P ) U need special thick skin and a lot of guts to even hav an attempt at that.

Dunno why but I have been listening to many rain songs recently (kale megha- lagaan, saajish hai boondon ki- fanaa, tip tip barsa paani, pyaar hua ikraar hua, rim jhim rum jhum n many more.....contact me for the complete list...:P). May b i m doin so in the hope that my speakers would do the work of Tansen here and instigate the rain Gods to shower us roasted souls with a few drops of water. That's not asking much am sure. And some cool breeze along with it would be the perfect combo one can ask for. Now am being greedy. But we deserve a respite once in a week at least, dun we?? I agree we ourselves are somehow responsible for this misery (read global warming) but then we can't xcpt God to have such a revengeful attitude na.

Watsay that we file an RTI demanding him to showcase the amount of water-vapour(clouds) he has in his possession currently. Then we could use the media to pressurize him for a bit of rain. And if even that fails then we could demand a quota for rain in summer(30% should do...:P). And as a last solution we could always join our hands and pray to the almighty to consider our petition for rain. Hope any one method would definitely work (otherwise chances are high that I won't b there to celebrate an anniversary of my blog). Well do let me know ur experiences with heat too so that we can share the plight together. Now I can't even ask u ppl to chill out or njoy....so just bear wid the GIS (and curse it wid all the curses that hav ever been invented...thts the least we can do for sure...:D).
