In marketing lingo, I think they
call it lack of brand attribution. I can’t name the brand but can clearly recall
the video in which they show the Sun piping out energy from earthlings before, of
course, the said energy drink replenishes the tank.
Well, that is exactly the sort of
weather in Bangalore now. Sapping.
Gone to run last Sunday and by the
time I finished the weekend 21K I had picked up a heady feeling. Or was it more
like some buzzing behind the ears? And this is with a 0615 hrs start.
Weathermen, like our politicians,
continue to make fake promises. The rain is nowhere to be seen yet.
If the
current spell persists I am considering starting early, naturally, to beat the
Sun. Though I am a bit wary as this is fraught with the risk of pounding on the
tail of a relaxing dog. I hate that they come mostly in shades of anti-reflective
black and brown, making it hard to spot in twilight. And god forbid I bump into
a groggy bunch during the last few miles – there is no scope to out-run them
either.
There is a positive side as well to
run in the searing heat - Builds up a good excuse to enjoy some chilled ones
later in the afternoon. Dehydration be damned!
While I am it, I will buzz on another Summer topic.
Holidays are on and kids are in full bloom. Which is all good except that they have
virtually taken over the shuttle courts and the pool. I wish parents let kids
enjoy their holidays with extended sleep hours, and let us enjoy some solitude in
the sports arena.
