Hot, Hotter and Hottest

You guessed it right. It's about the Chennai weather.
Its an irony that am writing this post on a relatively cooler day this summer thanks to Laila. Laila seems to have had a short stint and could last only for a couple of days. But that has definitely brought some respite to the fried Chennai crowd.
Due to the effects of global warming, the summers could get only warmer each year. Can't imagine how life would be some 5 yrs down the lane. May be people would walk around with Air conditioned suits similar to what MJ had.
Everyone of us can do something about this heat.
  • Plant more trees.
  • Water your plants daily, don't let them dry out.
  • Save water as much as you can.
  • Whenever you see a leaking tap, take steps to repair it immediately even though it may not be your home.
  • Make sure your home has proper rain water harvesting system (one mighty helpful thing that Jayalalitha did during her tenure) Might be helpful if Laila returns or Bandu visits.
  • There are more small things than you can do as part of your daily life without spending much time or effort. Awareness is the most important thing.
