the sweat, the heat and the distress, summer in Chennai

This year again as before , the summer is keeping its usual temperature, while marking its entry into the southern part of the Indian subcontinent.What an  intense  heat? .I pray everyday  for the rains to shower their grace upon this land.Disappointingly the dusk and the dawn , the best part of each day, linger for a short time, like the closing and opening address of a ceremony.Two months before several creepers were purchased by my husband , we potted them near windows, to avoid the penetrating heat rays, they are still young and not thick enough to hide the scorching rays.I cannot but wonder , the others who work by day under the red angry sun, doing manual work.Blessed are the cooler countries with their share of cool spring and not such hot summers.Hope another ice age comes and some more continental movement and we are into the cooler part of earth.El Nina effect, thankfully as per climate reports, suggest lesser temperature hikes this summer than it was in 2010.One feels like coming out only when the sun is setting.Water melon, Jack fruit, Musk melon are refreshing fruits in the market this summer, but to see the sweat, the heat and the distress is very unwelcoming sign.
