Summer in Chennai.
What is it for you? Hols? Camps? Beach?
What is happening at home?
Is your grandmother making vadams? Vadu manga and avakkai?
Is your terrace getting a heat resistance coating?
Is a eco-cooler getting installed?
Does your neighbour provide water to birds in his balcony?
Mangoes and melons, jack fruits and milkshakes?
Rowing or sailing in Adyar river or in Marina?
Rashes? Prickly heat? Is your doc giving you a tip to prevent them?
Here is a contest. An opportunity to write and win cool prizes this summer!
