I live in Coimbatore, one of the most hottest and driest places in south India. So of course i have a lot to talk about living it up here.
I decided i am going to do a pic post to show what all i did this summer..
All the pictures, courtesy my SE Xperia Live [or SE Coconut. Dammit.] And my instagram.
The Setting
It was frikkin hot, my first summer away from kerala, [which is not so cool too, but is home]. It was melting the fat off your body hot.
But the nights are breezy and cool in Coimbatore. So that was a relief.
There is a lot of flowers. Enjoyed them...
Things I Did
Shopping.....
Icecream getaways.. This with my friend, Silvia.
Read books galore, which are pretty much indoor activity.
Went out to eat...Yumm..
Went stir-crazy and did pretty lame stuff like drawing on my hand. :-/
Stuff to do to make the best of the summer..
Keep water bodies in home with flowers in it, it looks very stylish and smells divine and is super cooling.
Ahha, drink loads of water... You gonna need it to look cute and feel cool.
Have light food, and move to rice predominant diets, because its cooling. [This is the ayurveda doctor in me talking. Ignore her if you are not into it. I do.]
Go for some cooling ayurveda [or other] therapies like my friend Tyasha did.. This one is Sirolepam, gooseberry pasted with buttermilk on head. Imagine the coolness. She looks so happy..
Some other random stuff that happened..
This one is just for fun. Umm, the ice cream was cool.
Big guy here, was visiting our place for a festival. I dont envy him, for his lack of sweat glands, which keeps us cool.
AND..
OOH.. One of the biggest things i did this summer was getting Engaged.. This was my engagement trousseau. Isn't it pretty?
So.. Living Up The Summer... Pretty much lived it huh?
Hmm, its one more month..
Things i would love to do...With Elena, the girl who looks way out of my league.
Going to the Beech...In the evening of course, the noon sun in Indian beeches are horrendous. And sitting there watching the waves and enjoying the salty breeze....This one has my friend H with me.
Have me some summer rains.... Ahha.. And enjoy the seeping cold at night.
Of course going out and enjoying the sun while it lasts, because, its raining next month, in which any kind of outing will be impossible.
Enjoying all the cool drinks while I can, cause, next month, rain and then all the drink i would want will be a coffee or hot chocolate. [This is one pic which is obviously not mine]
Must Do..
And if you have any love for your complexion at all, go for the Lakme line of sun protection while doing all these. I hear its great and is SPF 5O. Which is i fear what my Coimbatore sun needs. Because, who wants look like a baked turkey after any fun you had these days?
Elena here. And i don't wanna post my picture next to her in fear of ruining the whole spread.
So, Adios, Amigos.
See you soon.
