Finding Shade at the Domestic Airport, New Delhi

Posted on June 27, 2009
Finding Shade at New Delhi Airport

I took this picture sitting inside the flight that was bound for Jabalpur. It was so hot at 11.30 am that this employee decided to take refugee inside the empty cart. I was wondering why was he sitting so still and why in this empty cart. I was wondering if he was in distress or what. But soon his other colleagues came and they all entered the Jet Airways plane you can see in the background. And I could see they were chatting and laughing a lot too. It must have been the heat that made him very still and quiet while he was waiting for others. When I came to Delhi a few days later, they announced in the flight that the outside temperature was 44.5 degree Celsius.

And the water in the taps has been hot on its own even at the night. Today there is a wind and some clouds outside. I wish it would rain!

    And the temperatures in this part of the world have already touched 50 deg C. And it is not the peak of summer yet!Here we open the hot water tap to get cold water (as water heating boilers are switched off in summer), and of course, the cold water tap to get hot water in summer.

    50 degree C is difficult to even imagine for me. And that tap thing is interesting!It rained four drops at NCR too and it is now humid too Namita!
