For years, I worked in Chennai, and every chance I got, I would rant to friends and colleagues about the heat, the humidity, and the classic “how are people even surviving here?”
Now my office is hybrid, and since January, I’ve been staying in Kerala. Yesterday, I came back to Chennai to meet the office quota.
And let me tell you… Chennai felt cooler than Kerala. 😬🙊
Yes, I said it!!
I landed here fully prepared for the usual suffering, but instead, I felt… relief. Actual relief. The temperature still shows 37–38°C, but somehow Kerala summer right now feels like the sun has some personal grudge against us. 🙏
In Kerala, I was drenched in sweat without even moving. Here in Chennai? I haven’t even broken into a proper sweat yet. 🧿
I never thought I’d say this, but Chennai heat feels more bearable than Kerala summer at the moment. 🙊
So this is my formal public apology:
Sorry, Chennai. I spent years bitching about you.😌🥲
