A Real Feeling

A Real Feeling

P K Routay

At present the hot humid Indian summer

from morning seven it becomes unbearably severe

Unless under pressure to meet hard obligation

to come out of shade or cooler place prefers none.

A rare few with affordability of air-condition comfort

others stay under shed with air humid and hot

adding to it the interruption of electric power

one has to stay with murmur for many an hour.

We pray and count the days for the summer furry to be over

with welcome rain to come with its pleasing thunder and shower.

Fifty years back I clearly remember

the heat and humidity were not so severe.

With no electricity but many foliages in my village

with hand fan we wer able to sleep and manage.

Now I am too afraid to express my future apprehension

after fidty years what will be then the summer condition.

With dwindling energy how will they survive in future?

Thus is from my first hand experience I nurture.
