Wretched Heat

Thanks to global warming the earth's temperature keeps rising year after year and living in Chennai during summer is like living inside an inferno. We have just entered the "hot" mode this month.And the "hotter" and "hottest" are in the brewing. Summer in Chennai is becoming hotter and longer. No matter how many gallons of water I comsume, I always feel dehydrated. The Electricity Board makes life even worse through their regular power outage. Attending college under this scorching sun is like accomplishing a great feat and listening to the professor's lecture is a masterstroke. I seldom study even if im provided with the best possible environment. With the constant power failures, no respites between exams and the heat literally smouldering the whole city down, my chance of passing all the subjects this semester hangs in the balance. Well last semester, it was rain to my rescue as it deluged the whole city. But what about this time?? Will history repeat itself?? or am I doomed?? Well if this kind of climate prolongs, I don't think there will be any chance of rain. Guess Im on my own this time.

My Dream Gal

I suppose that there are quite a few people who don't agree with love at first sight and I was no exception until I saw this cute, lovely, stunning beauty walk past me. I was transfixed by her dazzling walk and pulchritudinous eyes. Her curly hair accentuated her excellence. She took my heart along with her as she moved on. The most amazing, incredible, marvelous, phenomenal feminine creation of God was walking in front of me and all I did was stare at her thinking Yaar indha azhagana devadai?. She walked a few steps forward then turned around and looked at me in the eye with a grin on her face. Now what does that mean? Did she find me attractive aswell? Or did she look at someone else? Or was I imagining things? Well I really was in a confounded state. I felt as if a thunderbolt had hit me and a million stars started circling my head. Is this love? It was then I realized how true the adage "Love is a mystery" was. Am I a victim of love at first sight aswell? I was engrossed in a deep thought and when I came back to my sense, it was too late. She was gone. I looked up at the sky and prayed to God to give me a second chance to meet her and express my love. The clouds began to close in and there was a definite augury of rain. All the people took cover under the trees on the roadside except one. It was her!!! The gal of my dreams. I started running towards her. I had taken only a few steps forward when the sky rumbled and rain began to fall down heavily. I felt the rain's chillness as they caressed my cheeks and I closed my eyes. When I opened my eyes, I noticed my mom standing beside me sprinkling water on my face and was yelling "Dei Ganesh endiri da...innikki semester exam irrukku...marandhutiya??"!!!.
