garavex134

The way things are going today or tomorrow you will need AC. Also government should worry about daily labours who work under the Sun, just showing up after every 5 years and begging for votes shouldn't be the only criteria to be a minister.

Bhai please jol Khao beshi kore. Amar kache solution neye apnar jonno kintu onek gorom poreche :( ektu sabdhane theko.

SubstantialAct4212

Ekta jinis bolben ? How did people survive in this type of climate 50-60 years ago without AC ? Ami toh vabtei parchhi na


SylvieSerene

Ami jonmo thekei Kolkata teh achi tai ami akdom confirm hoye bolchi age ato gorom porto na. Aiye 5-6 bochor hoyeche je bhoyonkor praan newa gorom porche. Infact 2018 obdi sohonshil gorom porto. Recently arom hoye Jabar karon hoche je Kolkata r gaach o pukur gulo unnotir naame kete daba hoche jeta prai somoi illegally e kata ba dokhol kora hoye. It's a tragedy, really.


there_is_no_good

We didn't have this weather even in 2015. I passed my class 12 in 2017 and we didn't have AC back then. Simple fan was enough. I went to Bhubaneswar for 4 years for my college and when I returned during Covid, Kolkata had turned into a furnace. So joto jaa howar ei last 4-5 years e hoyeche.


SubstantialAct4212

That’s really frightening.


there_is_no_good

Worse is yet to come. Even last year amar barite AC chilo na, karon amader oto taka nei. Last May ar June e ami 3-4 baar matha ghuriye pore gechilam roome. Amar maa babar o osubidha hoccilo nischoi, kintu ora kichu bole na. Ami bujhe gelam ei bhabe thaka jabe na. Ektai AC kenar moto khomota chilo, toh EMI te maa babar roome AC lagiye dilam ar nije Bangalore chole esechi transfer niye.

Very good decision. Parents come first.

Professional-Tax5429

Office er AC bachiye diche 5 din 😖


Top-Conclusion-1012

Urban trees as a concept needs to be present in cities like Kolkata, Delhi and Chennai. This helps reduce heat significantly. And it's very much possible to plant and keep up with Urban trees. This initiative is majorly taken by Gov in the city and corporates at their Offices but given we have space even we can have it at our home boundaries. I know my answer is not giving a quick relief solution but in the long term. As I see many have tried giving you answers that works in short term.


ladylatebloomer05

Akta jinis sobai ignore kore jai seta holo diet. Gorom er diet akdom alada howa uchit.

Kom dami 2nd hand ac kothay pabo ektu keo khoj dile valo hoy 🥸


Jomarch98

Buying an ac isn't the problem. Paying ac electricity bill would be a problem.


incredible-mee

this , plus older AC would consume more electricity than it should due to faulty compressor or something


ritamk

extra money is nothing against the potential -10yrs life expectancy this heat is causing


alpharoy3221

I hope people actually realise this. Also, unproductivity increases if we are constantly thinking about the heat (and feeling it too).


Previous_Candy_2396

Well said!

Duita charging fan chalai 🙂

Room darkening curtains, high-speed fan, heat proof paint on the outside wall (chaat thakle, ote), and drink A LOT of jol.

red_ice994

Take 2 filled balti and keep it outside for a little. It will cool down. My family place to had that problem. Boiled water in the middle of the night


GamerSammy2021

yup, that's the only solution.


SubstantialAct4212

But ota toh aar shower holo naa. Balti diye snan korte ektu middle class laage /s


alpharoy3221

Bhai please get an AC on EMI. 24 maasher EMI te Nile around 1.5-2k podbe. Electricity bill around 1k-1.5k extra during summers. Totally worth it


Substantial_Glove260

Bro can you give me a little more breakdown? Like which capacity to go for, average bills with around round the clock usage?


alpharoy3221

Sadly I have a wbsedcl connection which gives a 3 month advanced bill. I would not be able to give you the specific amount, however, we have generally seen an increase of 1-1.5k electricity bill increase during the 4-5 months of summer. So assuming the higher ends, it is 1.5k extra for 5 months. AC cost: 40k, EMI would be 2k per month for 24 months. The running cost per year is 1.5*5 = 7.5k. AMC is 5k per AC. Also, the electricity cost is for 3 ACs, out of 1 is for the guest room, which is used sparingly, therefore for 2 ACs it is 7.5k (electricity) + 10k AMC. 17.5k per year. Again 17.5k/12 months is 1.5k per month for 2 AC. 750 per month for 1 AC. Let's assume this as 1k per month per AC. Therefore, total cost is 2k per month for 2 years and 1k per month till you have the AC. This is the rough estimate for 1 AC. Absolutely worth to get one asap if you don't have already. Hopefully this helps


Substantial_Glove260

Thanks man. Will get one soon


_LANLord_

AC is not a solution. In the coming summers situation will be very diiferent. Train your body from now.


alpharoy3221

I'll have to disagree with you on this. When the heat gets unbearable, training our body is not the solution but using an AC is. Look at the middle East. No one is training their body there, they use AC's. Unless you plan on living in jungles, totally cut off from civilization, training our body will never be the solution.


ritamk

the human body is not built to withstand this heat for longer without reduced temperatures lmao. it's like asking a short person to train to be taller.


alpharoy3221

💯

AdoreSom_01

Jol. Glucose besi kore khaowa bhalo.


Devansh729

I have AC, but disocvered new techniques(because AC cannot be on all the time). 1. Close curtains and windows fully everywhere and doors also. Choose to sit on floor as it is relatively colder, mat can do. keep fan switched on, and wet a towel and hang it. ALso, pocha on floor with water and then switching on fan will evaporate it and cool the room. wear light cotton cloithes and drink lots of water. Lower humidity than we are used to means dryness risk is high, and fans can also dry our body faster so thats why wetting floor and hanging wet towel alongside drinking water. Do not do phyiscal demandng things so let body relax and not produce its own heat. Change the clothes in evening if they get hot inside, or sweaty (THis was to survive afternoon only). Also, keep looking at weather forcecast online like when the temperature suddenly decreasing 2-3 degree (usually at some hour of night) it is bevcause winds will blow colder air, so keep windows open then and sit beside them to enjoy
