Rains...ahh bliss!!


Ahh… at last.. Thanks to the well timed rains that the scorching heat has subsided and I’ve at last been able to have a bath with normal tap water. And ya that’s not because there is any lack of water but, because of the scalding hot water that comes out…it feels as if the water has just made a trip to some furnace or got a free ride in a boiler before reaching our home taps…at home as we used to store water in another big bucket (err…Kind of small tank as stored in the dark interiors of the washroom that it would be cool!!) Due to which bathing was actually possible… At times the water would be too cold that you’ve got to mix the tap (aka hot water) and the bucket (aka cold water) water in the right proportions (a great bartender in the making eh… jus that mugfulls would become pegs;)…Nice career prospect though) I actually believed that there’ll be a day (keeping in mind the skyrocketing climatic heat and temperatures) that we would start getting GBW (wonder what it is eh? it means gasified bathing water;)) seriously man the heat is like so so much that water would be a rarity it would be steam all over… we can then have free steam baths… forget bathing with liquid water…At times I have this idea maybe we should have something like an anti-geyser, you know, something that works opposite to a typical water heater, cools super heated waters to some proper desired temperature.. And this idea was inspired by seeing the state of the geyser at home which is just catching dust and I believe a good residence for spiders and other creepy crawly insects…I don’t think anyone has ever used it and why would someone when is it like never cold here…
This maybe one thing I like about hostel, although outside it maybe terribly hot, the water is always cool... It gives you a feeling that this bath should never end… But then u have to face the reality you can’t always be bathing there is the awful clause of having 75% attendance to complete the course… But then I have always wondered how can the water be so cool when the outside temp temperatures are way higher than here… Then I thought maybe the tank is like covered in years of muck and dirt that even heat cannot penetrate it (awesome cover (up) eh...)
But seriously thanks to the rains we can forget the scorching hot days at least for some time… Ahh… bliss cool climate, cool water but it could sure seem hell for people down with cold;)... Rest rock on!!!
