Stop the heat wave

At a time when people spend hours on Facebook and Twitter, I return to blogging.
I last blogged in September 2008. Believe me, it was not lethargy, but sheer work pressure which kept me away from blogging.

I am making a comeback and I hope that I can daily blog which will not necessarily be related to sports.

I am sick and tired of some of the news you see on TV and in print. IPL post mortems, India floundering at the ICC World T20 and not to forget sports officials wanting to stay in power till they breathe their last, all this is so boring.

I would much rather debate the heat wave which has seen every man suffer. The car AC is almost crying every kilometre I drive, the normal fans seem to be just throwing hot air and office ACs no better!

Why I think ‘heat’ is a hot topic is because it affects you and me. Drink more water, an old mantra to beat heat doesn’t work. Point is, after drinking so much water, water seems to have become tasteless!

But I will not complain because at least I am getting enough to drink. Some of the areas in Delhi are waterless.

I am hoping the weather improves because it concerns us all.

At the same time, after the overdose of T20 cricket, I am looking forward to the French Open rightaway. Federer vs Nadal is again going to be a hot topic. And with the FIFA World Cup just over a month away, people will be gripped by football fever.

And I sincerely hope the power cuts will go away. Not only will this have a cooling affect on all of us, we will be able to enjoy the world’s most beautiful game…
