By noon, roads start to wear a deserted look as people prefer to remain indoors as much as possible. As hot weather is leaving throats dry, sale of cold drinks has shot up in unprecedented manner everywhere. People are buying cold drinks, lassi and juices to quench their thirst. As heat has become unbearable, henceforth, people think twice before stepping out of homes and offices during day time. There is no relief in sight from extreme heat and hence, people will continue to face the wrath of burning sun.
