Mumbai’s beginning to have its mercury soaring! Today we’ve recorded a max of 33 degree Centrigrade (not much by Mumbai standards!). And this is not even the tip-of-iceberg (That challenges most oxymoronish expressions!). Yeah…I hate the heat…I have this constant war of words and mêlée of expressions with C to have the speed of the fan increased… or for that matter…to turn on the AC. (I even mentioned to him that maybe we must go in for a brand-new AC this summer…and the look he gave me in response…Thank God...Looks don’t really Kill!)
Now that we have the summer just round the corner…I decided to think of ‘hot’ things to look forward to this season –
1.) World Cup – That’s a great way to welcome the summers! Hopefully our Men in blue…do take the Pepsi Tag line (Please don’t come back soon!) seriously enough...and decide to stay put in the Caribbean islands and revive the interest of many like me who belong to the tribe - Once-loved-Indian-cricket team.
2.) Mangifera indica – Man…This is one fruit…that can get me commit crimes! Aam Ras…Mango milkshake…Mango icecream…Mango kulfi…Mango tarts...Mango anything will do for me!
3.) Happy children everywhere - With annual vacation in progress… I love the chitter-chatter of kiddos all over my apartment complex.. Yes! Apartment Complex only! Not at my home…I have a great (?) time managing my 4-year old threatening to pull stuff out of my refrigerator anyways!
4.) ‘Hot’ sultry afternoons – yeah for reasons more than one, its great feeling to munch on ice creams (yeah I like the that have nuts in them)
5.) Kaala Kata at Juhu – Now this is more like a wishlist entry… I have been wanting to hit the beach for over 6 months now..and catch up on my Kaala Kata ..slurp slurp…
6.) Time to get the skirts and sleeveless wonders out of the wardrobe. And yes...I shall finally exhaust my Banana-boat Sunscreen lotion! Its been there forever.
7.) Summer precedes my favorite season of the year…The Rain! Yeah…I love the rain! I miss the rain! I am working on a whole new blog on it!
Will post that shortly!

n the prettiest thing about summers is the colours – the red red red of the flame of the forest – last year got a permanent crick in the neck with walking with head up everyday in iit! The yellows of the cassia fistula (or as my mum called it when we were knee-high – the golden rain tree), the bougainvilleas in every conceivable colour, the purple of the jacaranda, the unearthly (or rather very very earthy) fragrance of the frangipani...it’s a riot!
yup! I so agree with the riot of colors...welcoming the Summer...There was this tree which gives out flowers..called 'Kontha Poo' in Malayalam. Am pathetic at botony :-)
and yes..my next blog will be on them!
