We had a couple of days of intense heat these past few days. Ones with no sign of rain. The sun’s rays were particular testing so much so that I found myself unable to sleep at my inlaws despite having the fan on on full blast. A had to kindly wipe iced water on me using a cloth to cool me down (his idea, not mine!).
But I knew it was unlike any other days when during a drive to my friends’ house, my phone threw up its hands in defeat after overheating. It was placed on the car’s dashboard as I was using it to navigate myself there, and suddenly the map that it showed was no longer visible and instead a picture of a thermometer appeared on its screen.
It said that my phone’s temperature was too high and it has locked itself down. As this has never happened before, I went into a bit of a panic and stopped the car on the side of the road. Unlocking my phone from its holder, I placed it on the air conditioner that was spouting out semi-cold air in efforts to cool it off like A was cooling me off with ice cloths last night.
I even opened my windows a little bit to let out all of the hot air from the inside of the car. Needless to say, I too was close to throwing a tantrum too, being drenched in sweat and all. But thankfully after a few minutes, my phone came back to life and I resumed my journey, being careful to place my temperamental phone in a place of shade.
After that ordeal, you can imagine the joyful glee I was in when the next day, the sky suddenly opened up and a river of rain poured down from the Heavens. It was truly a blissful moment!
