Summer Heat, Summer Rain
The weather these days has been unpredictable. Unbearingly hot at most times, scorching even…welcome summer!
It’s the summer heat that heralds. The best way to keep cool is to stay indoors but if I really have to be out on the streets, it’s always with my shades on. Sometimes, I feel I’m melting under the summer heat. I don’t remember the past summers of the last decade being this hot. Guess the folks are right when they said the ozone layer is slowly, but surely disappearing at an alarming rate. Just imagine this – you can shower now and then be perspiring less than 5 minutes later. This is the extent of the summer heat.
Yet, it is ironic that during this hot summer spell, we also witness the thunderstorms. Many a wee mornings have I woken up to the sound of lightning, thunder and heavy rain beating against my window plane. The thunderstorms threaten to destroy everything that lays in their path.
Such is the irony of life. But it is also a mirror of life. People can blow hot or cold at any one instant. Today, they may be your best friend and act chummy chummy with you. But come tomorrow, they morph into your worst enemy and can’t wait to draw first blood.
Nothing is permanent in this life. There are no permanent friends nor permanant enemies. Everyone chooses which role they want to play based on their own interest.
