It was just three months back when one was snuggling within one’s warm clothing as the wintry cold was biting, if not making one scurrying into the nearest comforts of a room warmer. One moved around with layers of protective clothing which was cumbersome and irritating to a point. And now, there are still many more days of April to pass, but each passing day gets hotter, making one want to be in the lightest of clothing and find ways and means to fight the heat. What makes one shudder is that the extremely hot days of the May- Jun months are yet to arrive!
Every hovering cloud is welcome, the unaesthetic cries of the peacock, that herald the arrival of short thundershowers, are music to one’s ears but it’s like a wait that has no end! Work goes on as usual and many a time one goes on foot to the nearby South Block to attend meetings that have been scheduled after ascertaining the suitability of time of everyone concerned and hence, cannot be missed. The transit is tortuous but once when one is in the comfortable environs of the air conditioned interior, everything is forgotten and once the deliberations are over, one’s again ready to forge ahead.
But what about the thousands of people who cannot afford the luxuries of a roof and shelter from the scorching heat? Thinking about them and their wretched plight, one worries less about one’s own discomfort and is ready to take on yet another scorching day!
