At times the summer heat can do funny things to you. Bangalore's temperatures are at their sweltering best and we're all wondering, whatever happened to the famed Garden City and it's air conditioner type climate. And yeah, I hear it's raining cats and dogs in Riyadh and Dubai. Funny. Oh c'mon, pollute a little more. We'll have Antarctica as the favorite summer destination in the next few decades. Maybe the Sahara in Africa will have many popular skiing resorts. North Pole will have beaches around it. Sigh. Now that's what the heat is doing to me. Depleting my already low power of thinking and reasoning. I guess imagination can be included too.
Elections in India are round the corner and the hustle-bustle is too much. Everyday campaigning through phones calls (recorded messages), processions called "Show of strength", rallies in every place they can find etc these political parties can do anything to woo your precious vote. My inbox is flooded with spam asking for my vote. And the funny thing? I can't vote as I hold the Saudi Resident Permit. Elections apart, this summer also brings our new cricket heart-stopper series. The IPL. Too bad it ain't happening here in India. I was sure of attending a few matches. IPL got it's immigration for South Africa. What's next? The Republic Day parade to be held in England? Security concerns, you see..
This summer also brings an important phase in my life. Lots of new things, new avenues, boulevards, streets, roads, highways, expressways, runways etc etc I've to take. And yeah, I'm yet to have a map/GPS to go through these roads! It'll be a funny but a tiring summer. I can promise myself that for sure.
A few funny and strange things have been happening over the last few months. Some of it good and some of it well.. Not exactly happening. My head is infested with a lot of things happening very simultaneously. Sounds fun. But not in the summer, please! Life should be warm, cosy and comfortable like snuggled inside a quilt. Just like the winters.
Amidst the heat, a few good things happen too. Like I got real close to people who probably were always there but I never noticed. It's good to differentiate between the black and the white. Ah, I sound like a 60 year old talking about life who's seen it all! Well, the downside when you're in the 20s. We know everything and a little too much. What we don't know is, 30s are probably the same.. I was talking about summer. Where did age come? I told you. Heat can make you go all vague and funny..
I'm happy with the pace I've set for myself. Let's see how good of a map or GPS I'll find for myself. Btw, it's 6:11 am as I type this on a Tuesday morning. Did I get up early? No! I was awake throughout. India are battling it out there in New Zealand. Cricket is important, you know..
And finally, I think I'm a little feverish now. It's hot in here and am wearing a pull over and wrapped up in my blanket. Feels like winter. But I'm shivering a little though. Summer's first fever. Yay! Until next time, keep rolling and don't forget to wake me. Leave your comments I would like that. I get emails, messages on Facebook etc telling me how bad (or rarely, how good) I write. Feels good. Cheers!
