Phoenix is hot

It is hot. Damn straight. The high for the day is 107F or 40 for all you C lovers. Now that is not that bad you might be tempted to say. Well it is between 37 - 40 for the entire day. From morning 9:00 to evening 9:00 it hovers in that range. Humidity is in 20s and that makes it really hot to live in. Having said that i am still playing cricket. There is a night cricket tournament going on in Phoenix from evening 6:00 - 10:00 and i still find myself bowling 5 overs at 6:00 p.m. when temprature is 105F. Cricket sure is a religion.

The heat makes me miss the summers of Bhopal. The evenings use to be so nice there in summers, just wait for the sun to come down and post 8:00 p.m. it was perfect weather. The mornings upto 8:00 a.m. use to be awsome too. I remember eating a lot of mangoes, drinking lots of Rasna and Ruh-Efza, swimming real late or real early in the morning to escape the crowds, sitting around the lake around Ravindra Bhawan after evening hours, and of course night time tennis ball cricket :)
