Hottest April I remember in Bhubaneswar

Bhubaneswar is boiling hot.

Coupled with the humidity, the higher-than-40 temperatures are really sapping all the energy out of me and I find myself tired when I come back home. 

I think I see a real correlation between the declining greenery and the increasing temperatures of this area. Also the good old sleepy town of Bhubaneswar is turning into a concrete jungle.

It no longer feels like the quaint sleepy town, I used to visit during my summer vacations in the ninties. The cool evening breeze after 4 used to erase all traces of a hot summer day.

Where are we headed. I worry about the mryiads of people who are destined to lose their lives to heat stroke this summer.
