The constant tirade of horns fades away. The angry cars and even angrier drivers are venting out their frustration perhaps. It is the peak of noon and here I am stuck in just another traffic jam. The sun is at its highest and was perhaps never warmer or brighter. The winds have lost steam and even a breeze is hard to come by. The activity and vigour on this congested road is in stark contrast to the surrounding. There is not a soul walking on the pavements; the shopkeepers have deemed it wise to shut shop till evening. The cacophony of drivers and commuters vindicate the otherwise uneasy peace that prevails. The sweltering heat has had its say!
Seconds turn into minutes and the very thought that these minutes might soon turn into hours makes me shudder. How long will I be able to hold up? The distant hoarding with the cut out of a famous actor drinking an otherwise despicable soft drink was never more welcome. The speakers blared out a song which was noise to my ears. Beads of sweat keep forming and trickling down. This stream of water lost is worth its weight in gold. My vision is getting blurred; dimmed with sweat in front of my eyes. My mind begins to wander. Could one shopkeeper not keep his shop open? The sweltering heat has had its say!
Next time remember to take a bottle of Cold Water along :P Just joking, the heat outside is simply killing and the worst part is tat it would take another 2 months for this dreaded summer to fade away :(
