Our newly installed air conditioner.
At last I gave into the relentless Indian summer heat and bought an air conditioner for the bedroom. It’s really starting to get humid in Mumbai now. The constant sweating is making me so tired.
Normally, it wouldn’t bother me too much. However, there’s no such thing as a cool change in the weather in India. It’s just day after day of the same thing, until the monsoon gets here.
We got the air conditioner from E-Zone (a huge electronics department store) in Raguleela Mall, just around the corner from home. It’s only a little one, and cost less than 10,000 rupees on sale.
After much ado, it’s now been installed. Fortunately, there was already space for it. The hole was way too big though, so wood had to be procured, cut, and fastened around it.
Ahhh, what a difference the cool air makes!
Maybe next time, I’ll go back and get the rat proof washing machine that was on display! (No, we don’t have a rat problem. I’m just fascinated by the idea of a rat proof machine).

Rat proof washing machine!
I wonder how dese manufacturers cm up wid such ideas!Dey mustve faced sm serious “rat” problems in der lyf,datz y dey invented it! 
Paagal duniya hai!
I feel sorry for the people who have such a rat problem in their homes that they have to buy a rat proof machine. Can you imagine, rats in the washing machine. Eeew!
Rat proof sounds good. Trust me, it does. I had a rat infestation recently.
They just have a sheet fixed to the bottom of the machine so no rats can go in. It’s sealed shut. That’s all. It’s really a useful idea.
During the summer heats there, a ceiling fan is enough to keep you comfy.
And the rats must’ve gotten into the washing machine to take a bath.
Coming from a cool, dry climate, unfortunately I need a lot more than a ceiling fan to keep me comfortable. I really suffer in the humidity. I remember the first summer I spent in India. It was in Kolkata. We didn’t have air conditioning and I got so hot and uncomfortable (even while sleeping) I had to constantly put a wet face cloth on my forehead and around my shoulders to try and keep cool! I was sweating all the time and felt dizzy! It was bad!!
Gee Ramit, that sounds awful. Coming from the country, I can deal with mice (I even used to set traps for them) but rats are another matter entirely!
If you are used to dry or cold climate, you’ll hate humidity. The thing I hate about humidity is my hair sits well in dry weather and in a humid place, it doesnt sit calm cause of the sweating. Once you get used to it, you’ll be fine.
