Beating the summer in Chennai, Trichy, Coimbatore, Chennai, Erode, Salem, Tirunelveli and rest of Tamil Nadu

How to beat summer in the hot places in Tamil Nadu?

As you know as soon as you get out of your home (at least it is assumed that you have fan in house), it sweats a lot, head aches and your mouth gets dried. These are definitely symptoms of hot summer in our town. Even though it is torture in some ways, we can enjoy summer in lot many ways in our town.

In other hand, summers are usually enjoyed in foreign countries, but we think it as pain. But, never mind that is how it is.

Well, how to beat the summer heat and how to enjoy at the same time?

If you are in South Chennai, you can see lot of vendors lined up just near the Madura College and Tamil Nadu Poly technic college.

Sugarcane Juice vendors - they squeeze the lemon with the white sugar cane and give you with or without ice - and very sweet and cold Sugar cane juices. In fact, there are shops which provide more flavoured sugar cane juices.

Big big Watermelon has come out these days. The combination of Green, white and Red color with black spots in it. Awesome - when the vendor cuts it nicely and sprays salt and chilli powder and you eat with fork on the road - awesome taste:)

Next is as usual, Tender coconut - you ask for more water which is sweet and also say that you want Vazhukkai (that means not proper coconut, but a light layer of cocounut), that gives the taste to the tender coconut water as well. It is great. My daughter loves it! We do it as a family activity and we three love it - my wife, my daughter and I.

Apart from that you get fresh juice and bottled juice or soft drinks of course.

Do not read below - if you are less than or equal to 18 years old.

And at last, if you are alcohol lover, obviously you know what are the options you have;) Have B**r with green grapes in the mid summer and mid-day in an A/C room and then as a completion to the lunch you have a chicken/mutton biriyani. Isn't that a complete lunch;)? Just kidding - don't follow this unless you are an alcohol lover!

Yes the heat is breaking the heads of the people in Chennai. Not only in chennai, but many places around the world. As the climate is changing drastically due to global warming, summers are still heated up.

OK, lets come to our Chennai.

Lets discuss how to tackle this years heat in Chennai during this summer season.
Here are some ways:
1. Drink plenty of water / citrus juice. You can opt for Lemon/Watermelon as they are cheaper than other fruits and high in water content.
2. Avoid going in the sun and if needed, plan with an umbrella or a cap. Use helmet if you are taking your bike. Car driving will be a pleasure, but not for small distances.
3. Avoid non-veg foods like, Chicken, Eggs, crab, etc. Eat vegetables that are high in fibrous and water content.
4. Always wear light cotton wear preferebly in light colors that doesn't absorb heat.
