'Baring my mid-riff makes me feel sexier, so I belly dance'
Staying cool this summer doesn’t mean running the AC all day long. Shenaz Treasuryvala uses some nature-friendly how you can keep cool while Mumbai is blazing hot. She shares her chilling off formulas...
The hand fan: I'M GOING Parsi! Ever seen old Parsis on their grand balconies of their arm-chairs fanning themselves? The hand fan is a brilliant tip I'VE adopted from my older Parsi folk. So, for those who see me at Khushru Baug with a fan chatting up a Parsi uncle, wave!
The belly move: I belly dance. Ever noticed Chinese men lifting their shirts up and baring their belly? No, I don’t think they are looking to be sexy. That’s just their way of staying cool. I do feel that baring my mid-riff makes me feel not just sexier but cooler. Maybe that’s why the saree was invented.
Cold wave: I put ice cubes against my wrist pulse, neck pulse, even earlobes. It cools me down instantly. In fact, even when I’m in a foul mood, I rub ice on my pulse points, I BELIEVE brighter.
Sweat it out: I eat chillies! My Thai friends tell me that it’s an ancient Thai belief that chillies stimulate circulation and raise body temperature. Apparently, the rise in body temperature could make you are feeling cooler by inducing sweating, which cools the body when the perspiration evaporates’. Ouch! My tongue’s on fire now. Khapunmaka!
Clothes on: I take a couple of quick icy showers. I plant trees. In desperate times, I’ve even dived into the pool with my clothes on and that i let within the breeze by wearing cute airy Catholic aunty frocks. Ya fashion police, I’d like to hear what you need to say about that! (Smiles)
