Well, this was a photo from evening and gives a sense of nice breeze and other stuffs.But I dare you, coastal summers are horrible.It was so humid that even evenings are much of a pain.
I don't know why I don't remember any summers here as that hot.One could be that I was living in a home with large open windows.I don't think global warming can be a major thing in 10 years.Or may be I was in Bangalore last few years which is not so humid.Or,lastly this summer itself is hot.I used to never sweat even after a gym session.But now,I sit in a place and feel that sweat drops rolling over my forehead.I don't like having any food.Even my miser dad got a cooler at home.(So understand the situation).
I vividly remember my summers as school vacations, jackfruits and mangoes.Also spending weeks together at ajjanmane,getting up at 11 am and having avalakki as I hate my aayi's dose.
It was all alone at my home as my friend would go to Poona and comeback with a lot of stories of her cool cousins.
Also summers used to be a short trip to Bangalore and visiting Sapna book house and Chikkamma.Also I used to flaunt my English in school saying I spent time in Bangalore.
I remember reciting tables in kannada on swing in our Canopy which has an underground well.I remember that well too well now.
When I reached 6/7th grade I would hook on to hindi music channels and I still hear "Bipasha Bipasha" song playing in my ears now.Even "Tanu weds Manu" was a thing.Also I would let my nails grow and flaunt it again.I remember I had got a fracture in my right hand when I was in 3rd std.So I could not do my homework.I remember showing my xray reports to teachers instead of my homework that time.Also I had this superstition that if it's an even numbered grade (2nd,4th,6th,8th) then my academic year would be a painful one.Also I could not complete a shitty craft thingy in my 2nd grade exam and I had got a 'B' and was overthinking that I may not go to 3rd grade.
By the time we moved Herawatta,I grew big and everything had changed.I joined a shitty tution class post 9th grade exam and left it midway.I don't remember exactly those summers.
Now also,summer is hot and it's not colourful like late 2000s and early 2010s.
I wish I had the time to sit and observe and then enjoyed the essence.Now I repent Growing up and only gonna remember how humidity (76% now) is making my life hell.Btw, last year summer I had an operation and I was given a lot of injection stuffs.Also there was water scarcity last time.
Shushhh, why remember the bad part now?
Let me try to manifest the good things and I believe good things will happen. If not, whatever has happened is a good thing I will think.
Meet you in my weekly diary soon.
