Pranam Talking about climate change is a fashion during summer in any part of the world. When SUN is so close we do not like it as SUN is a state CM?. Today he was in my building for father's 99 BD. A man 90+ was awarded as father's friend. Climate change is inevitable every 26000 years. The river-flown Saraswati basin has now become a desert. So endurance is the only course. Air Conditioner may not work. Humidity increases the sense of heat more than the actual. Have you heard Amazon or Google weather report lady voice?. Today it is 34 but it feels like 42?. KR IRS 3622
