Welcome to "Hyperhidrosis-pattinam"

Homeostasis is the process of maintaining the internal body temperature in a steady state. A very common manifestation of this phenomenon is hidrosis. I call this biological word-fair. Enuf!! You may think this blog stinks if you sweat a lot and it stinks horribly. But I need to talk about sweating!!!!! It is such a natural involuntary human reaction to increase in internal body temperature. No one has really studied the side-effects of sweating so far (apart from the spraying deodrants and room freshners all over). The secretion of salts in the sweat deprives a part of the brain of its stabilizers and this makes people to start cribbing!!!!! How they crib when they start sweating!!! Esp. those people who visit Chennai. All they talk about after that is how much they sweat-ed. And the worst part is I am always within ear-shot and it makes me good bersek. So as a service to humanity I am hearby (officially) renaming Chennai to "Hyperhidrosis-pattinam". This will make it abyndantly clear to everyone visiting "Hyperhidrosis-pattinam" (erstwhile Chennai) that all that they can and will do is SWEAT. This will definitely keep away all those sissy, sweaty and probably lazy people who come to (erstwhile) Chennai expecting the weather to be like Bangalore (How bangalorean!!). I fail to understand, why people should make so much fuss!!! Why cant they see the benefical side of sweating. Why cant they even imagine that it could be a fashionable festish. And why for God's sake should they come to me and complain. I just have one great tip for them. "hyperhidrosis-pattinam" is blessed with a long and a beautiful coastline. So if you are finding it too hot, please dont hestitate to choose your private place and jump into Bay of Bengal. The bottom of the sea will definitely cool you and your sweat sweeter!!!
