As much as I love MAY, I don't like just how hot it has become. I have had a terrible case of skin burn and allergies already, for which I lost 2 weeks from work and reading and fun! and there is still another few months of heat to go, before the season begins to change!!!
On the plant front - I had thought that a lot of the sun-summer-loving plants would do well, however my bougainvilleas are having a very tough time, but those that grow on the roadsides in our city are flourishing.
I have tried thrice to grow sunflowers, and all 3 have died. they didn't grow at all.
A lot of the other plants too are not doing well either - the leaves are bearing the brunt of the heat, and the soil always seems very dry ( does anyone know what I can do to counter that?).
In real life - With a 7.50 Rs hike per litre on petrol, our hard lives have just become tougher... coz petrol price hikes ALWAYS impact all other things... so everything is becoming costlier, hence the same amount of money is lasting us even less than ever before. frugal living, anyone?
Electricity is another pain... we have barely had any electricity this last week... how productive, efficient and happy can anyone be sweating in candle light?
All in all, the last week has been a week of lows in terms of just survival.
On the other hand - I have had rather mixed experiences on the work front - people actually try and take advantage of you, especially if they know you are in need!
Why would you not appreciate the skill and hard work of a person? why try and cheat and fleece? Sometimes people are not what they seem!
On the studies front - I am completely confused with my syllabus, and my exams start from 1st June... fingers crossed!
Have I bitten off more than I can chew?
