Chennai summer is back!!

 You know that summer is back in Chennai when - 

       # The water heaters in the bathrooms can take their well needed rest. They are not needed any more since the water is already hot.

                # The clay pots are pulled out from the cupboards and washed. They will be used to store the drinking water and keep it cool.

       #  The air coolers are now back in action. One cannot go to sleep without switching on the air coolers.

       # The plants look withered the whole day. It is only in the evenings after they have been given some water, do they come back to life.

       # The pickles and vadagams (that are used in sambhars) are prepared to last for an entire year are prepared.

       # You start sweating and hate going outside in the day time.

       # You drink lots of water and still feel thirsty.

       # You long for the mangoes to turn up in the stores and start dreaming of the various ways of having them either eat them as a whole or savor them in the form of juices or milkshakes. 

       # You wait for the rain gods to show some mercy and wish that it rains every day.

       # You wait eagerly for the water melons and nungu fruit.
