The Heat is On


Its HOT.

Let me repeat that.

Its HOT. Really HOT. And its gonna get Hotter!

The screenshot shows the temperature today. The wind blows - hot. Its called लू (loo) in Hindi. It sucks you of energy, makes you want to find shelter out of the sun as soon as you can. The sweat dries off as soon as it forms, hardly giving any respite.

However, I have decided to figure out what can I do about it all. I am planning to start photographing the heat. What I want from you is ... give me your thoughts on what the heat brings to your mind. I will try to find those subjects and take pics and see how it goes.

  5. Great Idea Vishal. Will keep my eyes open for the kids playing. :D . Weekend is right up and the ideal time for this kind of lookout.

    I still remember running after USpecials at 4ppm at Kashmiri Gate. That used to be hot, but somehow we used to bear that. I guess working in A/C offices, travelling in A/C cars , sleeping in A/C rooms has spoilt us. Planning on getting a cooler for the drawing room.

  9. Vibhu:Here are some fun ideas-
    When I think of summer(heat)i think of the foll-
    chilling out with nariyal pani in my hand
    sunflowers-(My fav)
    summer blooms (flowers other than sunflowers)
    children having a shower out in the open in abandon- Summer fun!!
    My shadow
    Little children's summer feet (you can capture this beautifully in your camera)
    Waterdrops on lotus reflecting the rays of the hot sun
    A stroll by the sea- Beach walk
    Cool and colorful Summer hat
    A lazy summer day (you decide how would you want to capture this...just a theme that Iam suggesting)
    The summer sunrise and sunset, afternoon blazing sun
    Children jumping into the water on a hot sunny day for some respite from the heat (like you would see near India Gate)
    Sand dunes
    Sun and shadow road
    A little thirsty child drinking water from a roadside tap!
    Running in the hot sand by the sea
    A beautiful lady in the swimming pool with her googles on..cooling off the heat
    Glass of wine against a summery backdrop
    Sweaty palms and a sweaty temple
    My reflection in the water
    Waterdrops trickling from a cold coke bottle.
    Icecubes
