For God's sake, somebody please shut off that venomous beast!!!

25 degrees celsius, only 25 degrees celsius is the peak day time temperature of mumbai amidst the really rainy august first week. and yet, the nerds @ the office just dont avoid doing what is one of the most heinous crimes from my point of view. no, no, they dont kill people, instead they r plotting to kill people of the future. they switch on the AC. and they want the temperature @ a bone chilling 22-23, when i and two of my closest in-touch friends, nikhil and joshua, want the AC switched off to make it warm and cozy, and windows opened just a wee bit if cooling is needed. natural cooling. wind is too gud @ 6th floor office. but u know these city slickers, they r so used to these artificial gadgets. no care in the world as to what the consequences can b. they wont listen to us village people. they r so used to AC. but let me tell u that apart from guzzling out power in an already power-crisis affected maharashtra, ACs r deadly weapons, weapons to kill future generations. they release CFC or freon which is the chief nemesis of ozone which in turn is the guardian against sun's scorching UV rays. in my view, ACs r venomous beasts, more venomous than the deadliest king cobra. a king cobra kills one person with one strike, but no one can fathom how many we r gonna kill with one flick of the AC switch and one beep of the AC remote. its a vicious circle, installing an AC will make u dependent on AC and u will start needing it everywhere. it makes the planet hotter and people buy stronger ACs and make things even hotter. thankfully, i m out of the trapping circle. my village is in a really chilled out place, where u dont need ACs. the natural camouflage of trees is really gud. i m brought up as a typical town boy who appreciates city's superb points in terms of opportunities and the village / town's lifestyle. in short, i m absolutely satisfied to b able to go to the best part of the city for work and return to the tranquil of the town by evening.
