It’s been really pretty darn hot this summer. Temperatures have soared above 40° C here. There was a slight lull for a couple of days in between, but over the last 3-4 days, it’s been hellish hot. I was talking to dad about it, and he said that this stage of the summer is called ‘Rohini’. It’s apparently the peak of summer that starts towards the end of May and leads gradually to the summer monsoon rains, which start around the second week of June or so. Wow, and I’m right in the middle of it.

I’ve always wanted to write a post about summer here. There’s this one thing a lot of people might have felt and never really paid much attention to. You’re never really fully dry in summer. In the morning, right after showering or bathing, by the time you dry yourself off with a towel, you’ve already broken into a bit of a sweat because of the heat. So, you go right from being fully wet in the bathroom to being somewhat wet with perspiration for the rest of the day. (All this is assuming that you don’t really spend time in a comfortable air-conditioned room of course).

The summer’s also had its toll on my computer, which has begun to get hot very quickly and switch itself off. Out of desperation, I’ve moved the box to the top of the table in the hope that a little extra air circulation might help in moving the hot air away. So far, my GPU monitor hasn’t shown much of a difference in the temperature of the 3D card, which is still hovering between 56° to 58° C. I’m just going to observe whether it switches off if I start doing some graphics-heavy work, such as playing games

And that’s it for today. Time for my bath
