Summer Sufferings.

I hate summers. Not because temperatures can shoot up to a 50 degrees in this tropical country of ours, more because I lose tons of water in the humidity that the near by sea coast creates! Please note I do not blame mother nature, I am actually blaming the defective, actually over-effective, body temperature control mechanism of mine.

I hate the number of clothes I've to change out of, hate that I can't go for a walk outside without getting completely wet in the first five minutes, hate that my hostel room gets the hottest rays of the day making my room a baking oven!

I like cold weather. They keep me dry and cool. I never, not once, have I cursed anything or anyone for horribly cold winters! Even if I have to wear 2 sweaters and a thick blanket to bed - no cribbing. Even if I can't wear my shorts without shivering - no cribbing. I get to let my hair down(which I can never do on a hot humid summer evening!), play sports for an hour or so before I am drenched, winter has its own fashion lines that are truly adorable!  As long as I am dry, I am happy!

Of course..winters have their dark side. Cant have proper baths because the water is freezing! The clothes don't dry fast enough. And worst of all are the mosquitoes! They make the lovely cool nights intolerable! Little of your skin peeks out of the blanket and ATTACK! Its torturous...

Summers, if you look at it from another aspect, has its perks. Multiple cold water baths - absolute heaven, the shorts and skirts one can wear- pure comfort, the fruits (my frnds got me to eat) - the taster's delight!

I am still debating whether all these pros are worth the con - Sweating Every Minute Of The Humid Day... Haven't reached a conclusion yet... But right now I am just waiting here for the rains to arrive and wash all the sweat away...phew!
