Well, summer is not exactly the most favoured season in Mumbai, seeing as the sun sucks the life out of you if you are a regular commuter of the bus and railway services like me, but well, its got its own charm, right! Its is the season of sweat and back aches, but it is also the season of pure cotton and icy golas; summer crops and funky styles; of tan and , well everything that goes with it!
This is also the time of the year when you yearn water as much as you never have before. With temperatures running as high as 42°C, the sun shining mercilessly on us well, 12/7, and sweat-glands threatening to use up all the water in our body, ( I know, but it could’ve been grosser) one can do no more than run home to the refrigerator stocked up with water bottles you didn’t know existed in your homes as yet, but nevertheless thankful to the great heavens for them!
Summer is in fact, the wonderful, colorful season that makes India what it is! And ça la va sans dire, that it is an absolutely amazing time to look forward to. For overlooking all the humidity/ dryness, the dhup and the heat, is a season with a heart. Well, we sure can look forward to some citrus juices, rocking chairs, long vacations and fun, in the real sense of it, this season! Bring on the vibrant oranges, mellow yellows, peaceful greens and cool blues;
the time for no limits and some great memories, is just round the corner. Cheers =)
P.S. the title is in tune with “ Christmas, Christmas time is here” in Alvin and the chipmunks
Ça la va sans dire - it's an awesome post! :)
