IT'S REALLY HOT OUT THERE ...( PART 2 )

Why suddenly part 2 of a post ? And that too after so many days ?

Good question .Let me find an answer .

In my last post i forgot many important points , so thought to include them in my new post .



Well the very first point is WATER , i forgot to mention that we are dependent on refridgerated water these days , so this COLD WATER is another element of the SURVIVING KIT mentioned by me in the last post .



And not to forget COLD DRINKS also . My husband just loves cold drinks / lassi / nimbu paani , so we have cold drinks in the evening nearly everyday .

Another thing which i forgot is the importance of REFRIDGERATOR . When there is no electricity , ( for 6-7 hours ...) , then the food kept in the fridge gets stale . So all your energy to make that particular food gets LOST..., SO SAD... But it was the fact for some days at the end of JUNE .

And people in Delhi are not accustomed to use the 'umbrella' , which really surprises me . I am really conviced now (after living in Delhi for so many years ) that we , only the bengalees use umbrella in Delhi . Yes i do get amazed to think how could all these people walk without one , but the answer is that they are used to this 'hard rays of the sun' from childhood , so they really don't need the protection of an umbrella .

Now time for some headlines from the newspaper---

' Outrages Of 8-10 Hrs Can't Be Tolerated : CM '( 28 june )

' Heat Takes Its Toll As City Reels Under Cuts '

' Water Supply At Peak , Shortage Blamed On Thefts And Leaks '

'Villagers Block Gurgaon -Sohna Road As Bijli- Paani Ire Boils Over '

' No Fan , Nor A Drop Of Water Too ' .

Here i am completing this post after a long time( i was really busy in last few days ) , so the above news are not current . But that was the situation when i started the post . Anyway , to know what happened after this , just wait for my next post .

With best wishes

ITS REALLY HOT OUT THERE ...

The whole north-INDIA is under the grip of severe heat wave . It is a known fact to all ( courtesy-- news channels and news papers ...) . So , like all other persons , i am also facing the wrath of SUN-GOD now a days . It is such a great nuisance that i thought to dedicate todays post to this current topic .

And moreover there is power-cuts too for several hours also . Which means the only surviving kit for this summer contains ---
1. small hand-fans ( made by plastic or big tree leaves/taalpata) and

2. hanky ( may be a towel would be a better idea to wipe the sweat ...)

3. books ( as there is no tv or radio due to power-cut )

4. cotton clothes ( to save you from this heat ) .

It is really to work in the kitchen , but that is necessary . So ladies do it anyway .

I really feel sad for those persons who has to move outside (due to the demand of some particular profession ) during the afternoon . Indeed it is a punishment .

I won't go into much detail in this topic , but will give a hint of the life of DELHI by quoting headings of newspapers of last three days ---

" India Faces Moosoon Washout ( North-India May Be Worst Hit , Khariff Crops In Danger ) "
" Tempers Rise On Water Power Shortfall "
" Northern Greed Leaves Delhi In Dark "
" Water Woes Also Continue "
"Assembly Too On Short Fuse "
" City Reels Under Worst Power Crisis In Years ( Cuts Up To 12 Hrs ) "
" Traffic Lights Go On The Blink "
"Low Voltage Means No AC, Even Inverters Fail "
" No Respite From Mercury , Humidity Makes It Worse "

Oh yes , I forgot to mention the shortage in water supply ... it is right there with heat and power-cut .

But overall we are not in such a bad condition .May be reading these news will make you feel bad and you start worrying over it , but let me tell you --- all of these are bearable , there is nothing 'too much' in this situation . Sometimes a certain phase comes , evolves into its nature/shows us its true features ; then after a certain time gives way to the next phase . This is the rule of life itself . So all this heat really does not need worrying / lamenting over it from our side . All it needs is to get acknowledgment from us about its true nature .We should also enjoy it as a part of whole process ( cycle of seasons ) .
