Indian Summers
A different kind of heat is on ! During the winters….it was an
economic melt down….now people…..sort of….would melt !
Temperatures are rising….upwards of 40 degrees Celsius !
A few things…. that are typically going to happen….once the summer
arrives:
1. People are going to….once again… proclaim that they like winters
better !
2. There is going to be a rush for the hills. At least those who
can…would take a summer break in the hill resorts .
3. Power outages would occur….in cities like Delhi…for more than 3-4
hours each day!
4. Swimming pools would become full…..and sun-tan lotion companies
would be in business…..so would the manufacturers of sun
–glasses…..and cold drinks.
5. Corporate houses would find the efficiency dipping down….as it is a
‘common’ knowledge in India that there is a significant drop in office
productivity during the months of May-July !
6. Morning joggers and walkers would make a bee-line to the area
parks.
7. Schools and colleges would break for almost two months ….parents
would be at their wits end….to find some ‘engagement’ for their
children……summer workshop organisers would make a neat ‘killing’ !
8. ‘Dressy’ dresses would be moth-balled and… out would
come….pastel shades in T shirts, skirts and cotton wear.
9. The ‘philanthropic’ souls would constantly grumble about the lot of
‘poor’ labour force….who have to toil in the scorching heat…..
10. Sultry Life would go on….like each summer….and then there would
be an endless wait for the rains ( monsoon in India)….and rains would
either not come on time….or be scanty….or they would come in a
spate and wash down various regions !
And then….finally….would come October…..and a hope of a better
times ! Phew !
It happens each year !!!
