Sizzling summer

HARDLY OUT of winter, Hyderabadis are already reeling under the onslaught of the oppressive heat. The mercury has touched the 40s already and the very thought of April and May when summer peaks gives one the shudder.

The tar on the road has begun to melt with the sun beating down, straight and relentless. The blinding glare of the sun has begun to sap one's energies. Automobile exhaust only adds to the rough as even a minute's halt at any traffic junction is bound to show you the stars.

Shining in the blaze like gaze of the sun are good old Hyderabadi thirst quenchers. That is faluda and lassi for the uninitiated. Be it in streetside Irani joints and kiosks or swanky restaurants, the coolants go down well with the sun beaten Hyderabadis as they go about beating all summer blues.
