Hot and Hotter

When I thought last year's summer in Bangalore was hotter than the previous year, well it's hotter now than the previous year... So year by year Bangalore's summers equals the likes of Coimbatore (it can be really sultry out there in Summer) and, to most extent, that of Chennai (as far as I hear from my friends). Since I am in Bangalore now for almost 3 weeks (actually sort of stranded here) I can only imagine how it would be in Hyderabad. I heard that it is like being in an oven :). This is the first summer (or the starting of it) where my capacity of my fan is being stress tested. It is running almost 24/7 (a small advantage of having an inverter). I go to sleep almost the early hours of the next day thinking that it might be a little better in the early mornings...but nope...all I do is wake up feeling sweaty and sneezing (God knows why). I just can't sleep after 7 am max..its that hot. Earlier I used to think twice before taking my car to places like BDA complex because getting a parking is difficult. But now, I don't care..I am ready to hunt for parking spaces but I need my car and my A/C and some very loud music (currently Linkin Park's Living things and 2013 Grammy's collections is playing non stop in my car). What has the world come to... But one good and bright thing of this... I get to wear my coolers or shades or sunglasses or whatever it is called most of the time. I have a weakness for it... that doesn't mean I wear it like in Billa (Ajit's) movie or something...but I do prefer to wear it whenever I get a chance...

Two days of rain in Bangalore did nothing to quench this heat. And to think that this is just the beginning... Oh God... Its all our doing so we have to bear its brunt. Hardly any trees, too many buildings, less ground water... I am going to get some reprieve from it for some time from next week ;) but will be back by the time Agni Natchathiram starts :(. If only I can escape some where till June...
