India, May 17 -- I recently received a meme that read, "har koi chaand se mohabbat karega toh suraj toh jalega hi na. ab jhelo 42 degree Celsius". It undoubtedly made me chuckle, for I, too, have always (and will always) loved the moon. Plus, sweltering summers have indeed arrived. Suddenly, it seems like it was an altogether another world/era when we were all bundled up in coats and jackets, sipping soups. Kids are suddenly relishing ice creams and chilled lemonades, all with the hitherto unavailable approving nods and smiles of the elders.

Geysers shall remain off till the season shifts. Air conditioners are driving up electricity bills, and refrigerators are filling up with tropical fruits.

Yes, summers have arrived. Summer holidays ...
