The sitting under a neem tree for shade , jumping into the water anytime.. and the cold water from a earthen pot, fridge was a luxury, which we didn't have at that time .. <br /><br /><a href="http://mannbikram.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">Bikram's</a>Bikramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17320753339263375295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269219202790509435.post-55389112544244707442012-06-07T13:41:00.514+05:302012-06-07T13:41:00.514+05:30@ Anil..

But, M, those were the days when we were young and the sun or the rain took no sway or toll upon us. I have much the similar reminiscence from my childhood that you have. I remember the ceiling fan coming home when only in 1969 and even then, it was in one room and I used to sleep without the fan turning and covered in a comfortable blanket.<br /><br />But now, I can't bear heat, I prefer to be frost bitten than be stricken by heat wave.<br /><br />Yet, now I long for the monsoon in Kerala. to be cocooned inside and occasionally walk in the rain to be drenched to the bones.anilkurup59https://www.blogger.com/profile/07961961217418715354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269219202790509435.post-59000446218963425352012-06-07T09:58:35.943+05:302012-06-07T09:58:35.943+05:30hehe Nice positive ending.

More than the maximum, it is the minimum that matters. In Hyd, it was 30 deg hence there was no respite even in the evenings or early mornings.Chennai is truly cruel, besides the humidity adds to the heat quotient. I always appreciate Bangalore more when I come back from vacation. We are very happy with our weather here.Rachnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02275266551382931603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269219202790509435.post-40428805025618616002012-06-07T09:44:33.661+05:302012-06-07T09:44:33.661+05:30I feel that our tolerance level is coming down or ...I feel that our tolerance level is coming down or its a matter of getting used to..<br />Today we are going soft with luxuries,too much use of AC is destroying the environ.
