na, I was wrong, I haven't acclimatized to Delhi summer, I never can. it has actually been that Delhi summer has been fickle last year and this, has been kinder to us. this year it has only now come more than a month later, so much so that the cyclonic rains in May led us to use the geyser for baths for about a week; unprecedented. and now I'm melting away in sweat again, had forgotten how oppressive this feels. and yes, swimming is the only physical activity possible in this, but alas the pools are closed and I'm having to run. the heat weakens the brain's generation of cannabis and only the moving body cutting through the dense still hot air brings a small relief of a breeze. but people wear jeans in this weather, and tights; and what of those who have to be outdoors in the desert streets working through the burning afternoon for their daily wages; how again do we live in this unlivable summer, this ain't human weather.
