The one rain that Subbu was hoping had come and gone like a lightning. It rained for just 1 hour 15 minutes just enough to wet the ground a couple of days back in midnight. Lo !. After that temperature seems to have further increased.
Whenever I call him he complains only of intense heat. There is no other topic to discuss. Hot Hot and Hot summer.
He says the farming activity has come to standstill in neighbourhood. In our farm, luckily we are maintaining, thanks to some proactive action taken earlier. But still the water is receding in the pond very very fast.
It seems in his family farm also, the water is so hot that paddy fields are simmering. Water is bubbling. He was in full appreciation for Organic Farming methods that we have experimented in my farm. He seems to have applied only cow dung to a portion of his farm. He got very good results and is showcasing it. But no farmer is appreciating it. They are hard code, winded to chemical farming. In his words "They keep applying one after another salts to the farm. The surface without water has hardened so much that nothing will grow. They will only abandon the farming and sell it to flats"
Meanwhile there is no Wind, only Hot weather. In the night there is bitter cold. This is desert climate. There is nothing more to talk.
Entire country is now facing unusual hot summer. Actually the summer has still not arrived.
