Anatomy of North Indian Summers



North India is blistering with heat with temperatures touching 46 degrees . The Meteorological Department says that there is no respite  from heat for the next few days also .

 Everyone is preferring to stay indoors with the Air Conditioners on for 24*7 . Resultantly , cities like Delhi etc are suffering from major power outages . The frequent power cuts and restricted water supply in such harsh weather have aggravated the problem . 

Due to the intense & unbearable heat , markets are wearing a deserted look . The traffic levels have come down drastically . The only people doing brisk business seem to be the lemonade , juice and ice-cream stalls . People are thronging these shops in desperate attempts to beat the heat  .

 Girls and guys clad in scarfs and gloves , having no alternative but to venture out can be easily spotted carrying umbrellas  . This heat is likely to continue till June 12 as reported by the news channels . 

Writer’s advice – It is preferable to stay inside in this lurching weather . Stepping outside ,  not to be done unless absolutely necessary .
