Haan na, the afternoon sun these days is just too much, easily gives you a headache and fever. My mom always makes me drink raw mango panna to reduce the body heat. Try to stay indoors during peak hours, ho na.

Oh man, traveling in this Indian summer heat is no joke, it literally cooks you from inside. Whenever I feel feverish after a hot day, I immediately go for sweet lassi or cold buttermilk to cool down my stomach. But if the fever is really high, skip the food cravings and see a doctor.
