Whether weather …



Will change? Ofcourse, it will! It is the eternal cycle of nature; seasons come and go, the eternal change we have learnt in geography blah blah blah. Right now, it doesn’t seem so. I am sitting in a room where inspite of two fans running overhead, I feels like I am doing to kill myself by sweating. The humidity is killing people and I can happily testify as a witness to this crime.

He said people talk about weather when they have nothing better to discuss. Well, if weather overcomes every clutter in my mind, what else is there to write on? I don’t feel like eating, working, sleeping or even having sex! I sit with my laptop everyday to update my blog but all I can think about is ‘it’s so bloody hot since last 2 months!’

Only way to beat the heat, atleast in Mumbai, is either to sit in the AC 24X7 (which will give you a cold and trust me- a cold in summers, is not something anyone can be happy about), read a book or drown yourself in music. I keep alternating between the three or just end up eating mangoes. I think I can easily identify with the passion for mangoes of the man in the Mazza  Mango Mania ad. Each year the summer starts with a firm resolve to resist the temptation of binging on mangoes and the summer ends with a mango for breakfast, lunch and dinner and equal number of pimples to compete.

I can see the cloud cover building on slowly in the Mumbai sky since last week though. And I guess once it starts raining, I will miss the sunshine. Maybe then I will, perhaps, abuse my right to freedom of speech to crib about rains, tangy mouth from binging on jamuns and mud ;)
