After 3 weeks of busy roaming around the city in HOT HOT AGNI VEYIL(SUMMER) to complete some personal commitments, I finally able to find time and good internet connection to shoot out this blog after a short break.
I actually dreamed of a fun vacation but it turned to be a HOT one. Chennai HOT HOT days peaked to the max of 110-112F last week really which spoiled my fun dreams. What a atrocious summer?! Its totally unacceptable from the SUN buddy to broil us with his hot sun rays and test our limits.

Its not just me who came from America is complaining about it. It came from the chennai people and they themselves couldn't tolerate this Agni hot days inspite of having air conditions in the cars and shopping complexes.
I am from Houston(USA) and I have seen Hot summers but this one is entirely different. I always used to come to chennai in winter season but this time because of personal reasons I had to visit in summer. I thought I can manage being native chennaiwala few years ago. But I was failed. This hot summer taught me a lesson to not to come again in this season.
Madras nalla madrasdanda samy!!! I had to travel almost everyday to different parts of the city to visit my relatives in the car with A/c switched on. I still felt the beat of the heat from the top of the car making my head to spin. Even when I stayed at home, I kept sweating with the fan running on top of me in the high speed. The heat waves and hot breeze just keep hitting the body all around to make a worse experience.
I can't imagine how bad it will be for people in villages and other places living without a fan or a/c facility. Their live would have been horrible during these summer days.
I was able found shelter for 3 days in KodaiKanal(Hill station) taking a break from this hot days. But the break made it real worse when I got back to chennai. I felt the sun torcher more and more and couldn't withstand the heat waves.
The cold water and soft drinks straight from the refridgerator like Fanta, Maaza(my favorite) couldn't stop to the thrist but they all tried its best to give a bit of relief to take me to a splash ride.
Its slowly getting better for the past couple days but I have only a week to spare in this hot summer. I leave next friday back to Houston to make myself ready to take the heat from the other side of the world. I guess its all in the game of life!!!
