vital component of life?

There is no chance of going anywhere. I have work to do and so cannot go at all. But would love to go to kerala my native place, to escape from this heat. I am in Chennai and this is the hottest time here. A month from now onwards, is what is called as the Dog Days period and gets very hot and sometimes hit 44 and 45 in the suburbs where there are hills here and there. All the trees are also going off due to constructions and so no breeze also. At my husbands place in Kerala, it is of a slightly higher altitude and so it is very cool there. I love to go there pariticularly when it is summer. We always drink water in large quantities and diluted lime juice with sugar and a pinch of salt to quench the thirst. Butter milk is the next which you get in Chennai during this time.

It is hot here in the Philippines, too, and people would just love to hit the pool or the beach! I for one would love to go to the beach, summer and the hot season will never be really complete without it!

I am also from Southindia. I also drink lots of water during the summer season. During the summer season I bath around 4 to 5 times a day to keep myself cool. Sometimes it is very hot here during the summer time. This summer there has been lots of rain and it was cooler atmosphere.
