No Heat Pls

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who's dying of this infernal heat at the moment. The moment I step out of a building or my car, it's like I get engulfed by an incessant heat wave that is hell-bent on making me sweat till I get a heatstroke. Oh joy. To top it all off, the heat calls in its tag team partner – humidity. These two make a deadly combination that ensures you are exhausted and dehydrated if you spend too much time outdoors. The situation is worse in places outside Dhaka, surprisingly, with temperatures reaching 37 degrees in actual readings. Please heat, make way for the rain and do not come back. I prefer being drenched in the rain than in my own sweat kthx.
