Endlich Sommer (in Delhi)

"ALL was prepared for the summer exodus: the trunks packed, the household wound down, wound up, ready to be abandoned to three month of withering heat and engulfing dust while its owners withdrew to their retreat in the mountains.  [...] It was only the prospect of escape from the blinding heat that already hammered at the closed doors and windows, poured down on the roof and verandas, and withdrawal to the freshness and cool of the mountain which helped them to bear it."
