A Typical Tropical Day…

A typical summer-day of Jodhpur has two characteristics – Soaring Temperatures & Sand Storms.

It is May & the temperatures have already started rising to 45-46 degrees in the afternoon, and I think, We will be unfortunate enough to witness a half-ton this summer (Very much possible indeed…) And only some Buffaloes could act as ‘Charred’-leaders :) . And this would be clearly a One-sided IPL match, with Solar Super Heaters comfortably burning the Earthy Homosapien Challengers to ashes.

Accompanying this Herculean team, is the owner – The famous, glamorous ‘S(h)and Shitty’, who has had a great win in the last ‘Windy Brother’ season. Ahem, What to say about them, these sand-storms could better be referred to as ‘SAND FALLS’ as atleast 2-3 mm of sand is reported to be deposited every morning, on the floors, tables, sheets, and oral cavity. If the floor of my oral cavity shows abnormal raised nodules, Don’t panic, they are just the little Dunes where my oral flora have their million-dollar desert experiences ! :)

And some snippets on how to survive in such an environment:
>Gulp down the silicon dioxide. And Spit it out if its too grainy.
>Wear out layers of clothes In this hot sun to prevent tanning, as tanning doesn’t happen to be ‘Hap’ here. Empty your sun-screen lotions, let your skin absorb a lot of it.
>Carry bottles where-ever you head to. For Water, yaar. ;)
>Eat Kgs. Of Water-Melon. (This is the jadhi-buti why I am alive!)
>Stay Indoors. If you pick up a Two wheeler, you’ll end up Heated. And if you’ll take a Four wheeler, you’ll be GRILLED. Yes, even ACs can maximally work in the capacity of an exhaust.



Happy Day !

Tele says: What will be the most prevalent disease here? Did anyone say ‘Stones’ or ‘Pneumoconiosis’ or ‘Silicosis’ ? Damn, Don’t Crib. Life’s enough of a boon here, Who the hell worries about a disease or two!!
