Water is the lifeline to beat the heat!!

Its summer time and we can't say the weather is fine specially in New Delhi. Temperatures are soaring and draining all our energy. We don't even feel like going out for fun leave alone work. Because going to work is always an issue... smiles :-))).
But we need something to beat this scorching heat.
And here comes nature's best gift...."Thanda pani". Drink as much water as you can. Liquids in any form are good be it juices or lemon water or coconut water..... They will help you against dehydration.
Have lots of fruits like watermelon.
