Feeling hot, hot, hot!

Marietta Pereira @bluemonday (11) • Mumbai, India 24 Oct 15

"I'll just check on things for five minutes, max."

Sheilamarie78 @Sheilamarie78 (2586) • Canada 19 Oct 15

I keep getting sucked in to checking the computer "just for a minute" and end up reading and commenting as the minutes and even hours pass by. I've got to have more self control! Do you have that problem?

Marietta Pereira Mumbai received very little rainfall this year and now Mumbaikars are sweltering under an inhuman heat as the mercury soars. A water crisis looms large but the indomitable spirit of the Mumbai carries on. My sympathies are with you.
