Its been the hottest October ever in Bombay, and the mercury shows no signs of dropping. Normally, by this time it starts getting cooler, but the heat is killing this year. Afternoons come in at something like 40 degrees, while even the nights do not get cooler than 3o degrees. On top of it, its stiflingly still and humid! Stepping out of the house is sheer torture, a fate to be reserved only for your worse enemies!
