Beat The Heat......
Summer is here and you can spot innovative ways to beat the heat. Especially by the ladies, for whom getting a 'not-so-uniform suntan' would be simply unbearable. The blazing sun, the soaring temperature, the rising mercury levels - all inspire women to come out with some brilliantly new as well as some tried-and-tested ideas to save themselves from the heat.
One of the oldest tricks in the book is to wrap yourself in scarves or stoles. In fact, anything even remotely resembling a 'dupatta' will do. It does not matter if you end up looking like a close associate of the Bandit Queen. Or a female member of one of those dreaded terrorist organisations. It is all about beating the heat here. So out come the scarves and the sunglasses in a variety of designs. Arms covered up to the shoulders with white or cream gloves and dupattas draped around the head to protect those lustrous tresses, with just slits for the eyes so one can peep out into the world. And even the visual peepers are covered with huge glares. You can hardly imagine what the face would be like!
Summer is also the time to bring out those umbrellas in myriad colours and hues. Bright blue, stunning reds, umbrellas with cute polka dots, or cartoons and designs - you can never go wrong with them. Gone are the days when umbrellas were carried by doddy aunts or grandma-types. Today they are one of the coolest accessories in town. Teamed up with bright summery footwear, trendy umbrellas protect you from the sun as well as help you stand out from the crowd. However, you must carry them in such a way so as to not harm passers-by. Women have been known to have almost impaled or lampooned pedestrians, so intent they are on shading themselves from the sun. It doesn’t matter then if there are people walking on the road glaring and screaming at them to watch where they are walking with those almost ‘killer’ items. All that matters is not getting that vicious suntan.
So cover yourself up in a variety of imaginative ways to say a cheerful (and even victorious!) hello to the sun. Bring out those hats and glares and liberal doses of sun-block. Mission accomplished!
