Finally it was Physics which rescued him.
Raj is a techie in a reputed firm. He is used to spend most of the working hours in an A.C. (air conditioner). Even when he is not working, he has the air ‘conditioned’ working in the backdrop. The sports room, Food courts, Gymnasium, Movie halls or the shopping malls, everywhere he makes sure that he gets the conditioned air. That is not all he even gets his travel tickets in the A.C class through I.R.C.T.C (provided the site doesn’t get hung).
But things of late have changed its course. There is power crisis all over and the temperature has raised several notches. As a result the A.C.’s have to be used very rarely and most times never used at all. He is in panic now. How would he survive the heat? His body by now had developed into something which was only conducive to conditioned air.
He went to the blast furnace ..err food court and got grilled like tandoor. He ran away from there. He went to the Gymnasium only to find the pumping rods emitting sinusoidal heat waves. He went to the Sports room but still the heat was palpable. It seemed to him that the whole Universe has connived to teach him a lesson (remember the Kayanat dialogue by SRK in Om Shanti Om?). Heat-stricken and A.C-deprived he rushed home.
A quick shower helped to lower the temperature. But then power cut and low voltage followed. So he was again feeling the heat and sweating profusely. He did a silent prayer (amidst a loud curse to the Electricity Department) and thought of forgetting the whole turn of events. He took out the book from the shelf and started fanning himself before retiring to sleep. But what he saw in the dim light of his cellphone made him smile. It was like his prayers were answered. It was the physics book which said “Evaporation causes cooling”.
