Oh well, indian summers are not that bad. i have seen temperatures like 110-120 in Delhi but I am not sure whether Simla was ever that hot. The scorching heat of summer has its own charm with all the nimbuwallahs (people selling lemonade) lining the streets. There are all other kinds of exotic drinks like jaljeera (spiced and chilled water) and burfgola (a mound of ice covered with viscous sweet liquids, served on a wooden stick). Days are long which usually means that children playing cricket on the street, roadside, pavement, rooftop .. practically any stretch of space enough to provide a respectable pitch, can stay out longer and enjoy the light at dusk. Summer was actually a lot of fun. Nostalgic sighs...............!
