                                    Uff  Ye Garmi ...............!!!!!!!!!


Uff Ye Garmi .. !!!! This is sole topic of discussion among all North Indians nowadays. In summers average temperature of South India is in between 25-35 degree Celsius where as of North India in between 35 to 50 degree Celsius. I woke up in the morning, went to the Balcony and did Surya Namaskar . Surya Dev was shining very bright that North India seemed to be kissed generously by the sun this summer. I couldn’t stand there for long and hastened towards room.

It was a holiday and i was avoiding going out. But all of a sudden due to some crucial work i had to go to market. Temperature was around 47 degree Celsius. It was too hot outside and I was trying to walk in shade. As soon as i reached the main market, I observed some of the people. They were trying to protect themselves from heat by using scarves of different colour Orange, Blue, Purple, Red etc. It was difficult to identify them because they wrapped scarf around their face. Some people were drinking cold drink, lemon water, Sugar cane juice. A few of them was carrying umbrella. Shopkeepers were seating in front of fan/cooler in their shops. Roadside sellers were using hand fan.

I went further , two people were talking loudly , one of them said that he was feeling fidgety for last 2 days because of high temperature , as soon as he finished saying this, he ate one full hot Kachori. I was surprised that he had very good stamina. I thought to try, but seeing my condition I said that shop bye bye.

After some distance, I saw some workers were working for construction of building; their children were playing nearby with joy on their face. One old man was pulling rickshaw, although they were working out of need, I saluted them for working in harsh condition with smile on face.

People use different solutions for protection from temperature .Permanent solution is plantation and less pollution.


In the end, A small prayer " Surya Dev , you have done a lot of work , how much more you will shine bright , please take some rest , radiate less. Indra Dev please start travelling towards North India, it is very beautiful, Increase its beauty by rain. We are waiting for you. Give us less sunshine, give us rain."
