Ah, these IMD heatwave rules—above 4.5 degrees from the normal, with different limits for plains, hills, coasts. But here in this city, the 'normal' they calculate from feels like a cool dream. The truth is, my tin-roof room crossed their 'severe heatwave' threshold by March itself. I left our hill town for this plains job, thinking I’d send more money home. Now I spend half my pay on drinking water and ORS, and the heat has made my hands too shaky for fine detail work. Their scientific rule doesn’t measure the *vethanai* of a wasted journey.
