Here are ten things I do in the hottest March Bangalore has seen in 15 years:
1. Sit next to a cool,silent, table fan like Havell or Croma ( you can buy one for < Rs 2000).
2. Pour over myself one third bucket of water saved overnight every 6 hours. ( you can do it 3 times a day from one 25 lit bucket).
3. Stay on the lowest floor possible (no hot ceilings).
4. Drink LOTS of water, again saved overnight, or if you can handle it, from the fridge.
5. Eat fruits and vegetable salads.
6. Drink butter milk instead of coffee or tea.
7. Drink tender coconut water ( you get great ones at your doorstep at around Rs 15 each)
8. Go eat MTR fruit salad with ice cream.
9. Take a siesta in my lazy boy.
10. Think of Chennai, Hyderabad and Calcutta - they are hotter!
