Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole…

A paleontologist would be happy with this find!
Anyone under the age of 50 probably wouldn’t know the name of the person who sang the song ‘Feeling Hot, Hot, Hot’ however, I am more than sure that you would know the song itself (it was always played at Aunties and Uncles birthday parties/ weddings in the 80’s early 90’s and everyone would start dancing around like Cubans and pretending they had maracas? No? Just my family then.) Well today, according to my thermometer the mercury hit 101 degrees and May is supposed to be the hottest month in Mumbai by far, so it’s just going to get higher and higher! I am tremendously concerned as my air-conditioners are extremely old and should have gone out with the cassette tape, and I don’t think sticking my head in the freezer every 15 minutes is an acceptable solution- bad times!! Only good thing is, that I’m sweating so much I must have already lost half a stone in weight- good times!
(FYI the person who sang ‘Hot, Hot, Hot’ was a man called Buster Poindexter, I googled it as I am unemployed and was feeling hot… hot, hot)

  3. You will lose a lot of water and salts if aren't accustomed to the humid, hot and sweaty Mumbai summers.

    Go eat a watermelon ('kalingad' in the local language - twist your tongue around that!) twice a week.

    And.... don't blow those air-conditioners from over-use, okay!

    There are only three seasons in Mumbai:-

    Hot and Humid.
    Hot, Humid and Very Wet.
    Humid and Slightly Pleasant and even Cool.... sometimes!
