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.

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!

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!!

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.

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.

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!
