The month of May…temperatures reaching 40 odd …frequent power cuts! *sigh*
Hot summer days in Delhi remind me of the song I have playing right now!!
Why?
Hmmm…simply because it takes me back in time. This was the year the song was released and I lived here in Delhi in a different locality. Not yet a teen but restless and rebellious all the same!!
I remember a really hot day during my summer vacations. My friends and I were sitting around pretty much bored. With no plans or things to do to keep us occupied. My then best friend Devika, yet another close friend Anu (Anuradha) and yours truly were walking around our colony. Suddenly we decided to sing right there out on the road…in the middle of the afternoon…and this was the song which was popular right then….so there we were three girls (all of 12 yrs! maybe 13...not getting specific here!)…walking aimlessly...singing aloud! Lol…we got some ppl out in their balconies looking at us quizzically! :-)…but meaningless as this seemed, it sure did kill the monotony! The more ppl stared…the less we cared!
It was definitely better than muttering our fav phrase back then…”Sado! Galo! Maro!” *grin* which would translate to…ummm, “Rot! Melt! Die!”
Which is pretty much my state of mind right now… this heat is killing me!
So let me think of things that I could enjoy on a hot day like today…
Top 10 cool thoughts!!
