The Weather

The heat is something else; I'll start to sweat as I dry myself after my shower at like 6 am. I can feel the difference between the wet and the sweat and then scurry off to my air conditioned room, where the contrast makes it way cold, so there's a little dance of stepping out of the sauna, back into the fridge and back and forth and putting on one piece of clothing after another, taking it off,too hot, too cold, then, for a moment, just right. Go for a walk at 7 am, it should be some sort of mild, right? Wrong. Blazing sun, makes my skin prickle instantly. I cross and re-cross the street, seeking the shade, but this requires serious alertness because of the crazy driving, including they are on the wrong side of the road (why they hold on to so much British legacy is supposedly Nehru's fault, but more on that some other time). Mustn't step into the path of a bus in an effort to be more comfortable.
