"Stay Cool In Hot Weather"

Winter, Autumn , Spring and finally SUMMER.....

As we all have spent a lovely time in winters .This sudden flare of summer heat is  unbearable for us. As a nature loving person ,i  try to enjoy every season because every season has its own benefits  for all of us .For instance in winters we enjoy the juices of  oranges,sweetness of carrots, sourness of strawberries , bitterness of  grapefruit and especially   dry fruits which includes cashew nuts,peanuts,pistachios,almonds etc.

.These all are  the tastes of winters likewise in summer we all welcome the king of fruits Mango ,the queen of fruit Pomegranate (its my queen of fruits because i like it too much  =)...and lots more fruits to eat, full fledged bananas,sweet sweet pears, pulpy peaches..and so on.

Summer has its own charm and joys.We don't need to dress up heavily, not too wear too much clothing just simple,loose and light dresses, in summers we don't need to keep  moisture on our skin every time as we did  in winter. But its also has some harmful effects on all of us because every weather has its some harmful effects on human  beings but these effects are not because of weather its our own carelessness that we becomes the victim of these harmful weather effects.
