The Heat Is On - Tips To Beat The Summer Heat

Dear friends, what we are experiencing now is not an ordinary hot weather. It is the arrival of the danger of ‘El Niño’, which can silently take lives and separate our loved ones from us. 

This situation will become more serious as May approaches.

🤔 What is ‘El Niño’?

Simply put, the water in the Pacific Ocean becomes very warm. This changes the air flow around the world. The southwest monsoon, which is supposed to bring us rain in May, may be late or less this time. This means that when it should rain, there will only be intense heat.

🏠🔥 This situation is very dangerous.

Even healthy people can die due to Heat Stroke. Therefore, to save our lives, we must do the following immediately:

💧 Don’t wait until you feel thirsty – that is dangerous!

Thirst is a sign that the body is already dehydrated. You should drink water every hour. Make sure children and the elderly drink water. Always keep a water bottle nearby.

 ☀️🚫 The most dangerous time is from 11 am to 3 pm

At this time, the sun hits the body directly.

Stay indoors as much as possible

Think carefully if there are school sports events

Your child's life is more valuable than any medal

👕 Avoid black clothes

They absorb heat more. Wear light-colored cotton clothes like white or pink.

⚠️ Heat Stroke Symptoms:

➡️Severe headache

➡️Fainting

➡️Vomiting

➡️Dry skin without sweating

If any person has these symptoms, immediately take them to a shady place, wipe the body with a damp cloth and take them to the hospital immediately.

🐾 Don't forget the animals

Help not only the dogs and cats in your house, but also the animals on the street.

Keep water in front of the house or near the wall

Make sure there is shade

🚰📢 Finally…

Don't stay silent after reading this information. 

Share it with your family and friends. 

We all need to be prepared to deal with the upcoming 'El Niño' condition.

 Remember…

We can only escape this danger if we are safe.

The Five Stops

I drive for Ola. I mostly work night shifts. Last week, around 11 PM, I picked up an elderly gentleman. White kurta and dhoti, tired eyes- but a strange firmness in his voice.

As soon as he sat in the car, he said:

“Tonight, you’ll have to take me to five places. I’ll pay you ₹5000. Cash. But don’t ask the reason until the end.”

He handed me a piece of paper with five addresses written on it.

Lies, Lies And More Lies

Everywhere- lies, lies, and more lies,

To decipher,  do we have the eyes?

Can you hear the caged truth's cries?

Do you have it in you to face & apprise?

Do What You Can

You are here and now, and this is the place you're destined to be.

But, being stationary, one can't possibly move from Point A to B!

Start where you are and keep moving; you have places to go!

Stop not, fret not, the best is yet to come & you'll see & show!

You cannot and mustn't complain about what you don't have here.

Use everything to the best of your capacity, drive your car in top gear!

Remember, you are one of the "Haves", and you've resources to use.

Be resourceful to understand and make the most of available cues.

Just Keep Digging

What do I do when I have simply no clue?

I try figuring it out as I dig relentlessly

While digging, I look for what's true-

Making sense of what comes effortlessly.
