I hate this transition period between seasons. Almost 6
months of huffing and puffing and labouring under the intense heat has left us
all drained. The last mile is the hardest isn’t it? October with its promise of
cooler weather is just around the corner, yet the thought of another few weeks
of moisture and perspiration seems too much to be borne. Monsoons mean houseflies,
all manner of strange insects, mosquitoes, Odomos and the ever-present parental
anxiety over dengue and malaria. It means stomach infections, missing maids,
throwing out leftovers without a thought, and, this year, praying for the rain
that comes but infrequently.
Forgive the rant. I stayed silent all through the torrid
summer, after all! I managed to get bitten by some insect and the resulting
allergy has left me in agony with skin rashes. A visit to the dermatologist is
urgently needed, it seems – have been putting it off for days out of sheer
laziness.
Updates on the glorious weather in Bangalore by the husband
are not helping! Ah well..just a few
more weeks....just a few more...the early roses are already in bloom. Can't wait for my favourite seasons - autumn and winter!
Fall and Spring are my favorite seasons. Hang in there, you'll be fine.
ReplyDeleteI know! We don't get fall colours here of course but the weather is generally awesome. Looking fwd to it!
DeleteI used to hate the 'transition period' back in Ahmedabad, too. They used to feel strange and without any real characteristics of their own. In Bangalore, I hardly see any transition period as such.
ReplyDeleteBangalore weather is gorgeous?! It is super duper hot now!
You get well soon, dearie!
I don't believe it. You Bangaloreans crib about even 32 degree weather :)
DeleteOh yes, we are a spoilt lot. We are so used to the breezy romantic weather here, that we start feeling uneasy when the temperature soars even a bit! :)
