When it’s summer in a desert, we better grin and bear it. As my friend says it looks as if our head is emitting smoke while we walk on the roads. Already a female colleague had blood oozing through her nose. The mercury almost touches 50 on many days.“I entered a taxi and could not bear the smell of sweat from the driver. Got down before my destination,” said a friend. It’s another matter that he himself was bathing in sweat and I could not stand near him.
My Filipina friend wanted to buy a colourful umbrella. “Which colour your boyfriend likes?” asked a co-worker. “Which boyfriend?” she asked innocently.
One is forced to take bath many times a day. “I had to take bath five times yesterday,” lamented a comrade. “Oh, you are the culprit? I was wondering how the water bill shot up so high this month and soaps keep vanishing from the rest room!” his roommate pounced on him.
I have a cap with the words “Looking Great.” A Goan friend tried to boost my morale. “Buddy, that pretty girl who has joined recently was praising you. I think she feels your cap is cute.”
“Me or the cap?” I asked.
“Obviously stupid, it’s the cap. How can she mean you?”
My God, I did not know I was talking to an enemy.
ha ha ha
ReplyDeleteHeat is indeed on ;-)
Hello my dear cute friend, Ramesh! teehee I hope all is well with you. Work has kept me busy this week, but you are in my thoughts. Hope you are keeping cool today. Wishing you peace and prosperity always. :)

ReplyDeletehaha yep... talk about "feeling the heat" alrite :P
ReplyDeleteI've heard that in the UAE even when the mercury shoots past 50 degrees, the recording made public never goes beyond 50 because if so then the authorities would have to call back the construction workers as per health restrictions.
“Obviously stupid, it’s the cap. How can she mean you?” - ha ha...
