Well, yes, they do ruin my life. What would should have been a blessing turns a curse. And it's all here, in Singapore, where day and evening (thankfully, not the nights!) they torture me into slow illness.
As I sit through lectures and tutorials everyday, slowly, air-cons freeze me into numbness. Yeah, physically and mentally. To such an extent that beyond a point I feel like a body just made alive by thawing after being frozen as a part of some cryonics study. As soon as I'm free to go out, I feel like some captive tortured by unique methods running out to freedom. But oh no! You only run out of a freezing air con-ed room to enter the bus which is cold too. Thank lord, though, at least I could control the little air-con outlet in the bus.
At times, or no, always, the closed corridors are colder than the rooms themselves that I would think kenathula gudhikardhu is surely a better option than leaving the room. And yes, the rooms are not good, either. Inside, I would sit trying to cover every little portion of my hands or legs that are exposed to the chilling air.
Enter trains, AC. Enter canteens, AC. Enter TV Lounges, AC. Enter labs, you would almost freeze to death. Even after having been here for a whole year, I am unable to stand it. I would feel so content in life with that ceiling fan...instead I have to return everyday with head aches and colds because of the air-con. And not to forget the innumerable number of times air-cons make me sneeze.
I wonder how girls here come in the shortest of mini skirts possible and sit in this freezing cold atmosphere in theatres. God! Fine, you could say romba naal pazhakkam but these places are like igloos!! They sure do deserve awards.
Well, there is no escape from this monster. All I have to do is hope that I get immune and don't react abnormally. :)
So much for air-cons!!!
By the way, I realised my posts are getting shorter and shorter! No, not good lah!

nice post vani.. knw wht.. the problem comes during Fall and Spring.. when its slighly cold outside but still AC is on.. making us freeze to death.. as u c in summer its ok with AC on and in winter ofcourse it is heated.. I observed tht.. :).
mini skirts and weather -- I have the same question too :) but lot of those girls would have had a drink or two before venturing out .. so there goes.
phobiac,
enna koraichal-aa? ellamey koraichal!! ;)
vivhyd,
no...no heaters here during winter! but i think they're kind enough to increase temperatures in the air-con so we don't get frozen!
saranyan,
a drink or two?? now, that's interesting....i never thought of this ;)
I am totally averse to cold temperatures...
