it's 45 degrees

I somehow can't imagine Mr.Sun as the cool-goggle-sporting dude that the pic below shows....





The summer sun is really showing all of us ‘whos the boss’. The mercury has been rising in the city since the past couple of days . Monday’s newspaper said that the temperature had touched a high of 44 degrees, which was the highest since 1999. I thought to myself “wow….now how THAT is high!...i bet it can’t get any hottttttter than this”


But the Sun had some surprises in store for me. It made the mercury rise a little higher to touch 45 degrees yesterday man!! It must’ve said to itself “there you go Sonny boy…don’t bet on things that you have no control over”…and must’ve gone ahead and given the kind of evil witch-like laughter that I so like to give (when I have done something evil).. “MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!”.

45 degrees !!! wow! That certainly is high. But this time I am not going to go ahead and say that it won’t and can’t get any hotter than that…..it MAY GET EVEN HOTTER….

There you go Mr.Sun, I haven’t challenged you or anything so please do not take it personally and show some mercy on us mortals.

The funny thing is that I need to walk to my office-cab’s pick-up point around 1.5 kilometers away everyday right in the noon, ie.2:00. It usually takes me 25 mins to cover the distance at my own pace , with my earphones snuggled in my ears with some good music for company. I seriously do not feel the heat of 44.5 degrees burning down on me. I mean, Cmon, I have lived in places like Visakhapatnam, which should be declared as the ‘Humid-capital’ of the world, and in Bhubaneshwar, where the day temperatures recorded were often some of the highest in India. So talk about adaptability….My skin seems to have adapted itself to the intense summer’s sun-heat.

But hey Mr.Sun, that dosen’t mean you take it as a challenge to show that even I can feel your heat. I DO feel burning sensation on my skin whenever I walk beneath your heat…

THIS is the real image that comes to my mind when someone mentions 'Summer sun' now...
peace always..
