It's here

Dizzying smell of jasmines
Sapped, dazed,and sticky
Rivulets down my spine
Soles sticking on tar
bright orange aamras from the dairy
wilted greens on vegetable carts....
mango juice stains
Overpowering odours in the train
cold comfort of curd rice
starched stiff cottons
drained and dazed evenings
longing for cool breeze

Summer is here....

A little too early,not any less intense.
