Summers are officially here. Those days when we find ourselves in a puddle of sweat every day and when we’re constantly thinking of ways in which we can make these days more bearable, apart from eating lots of mangoes of course. So, even though we can’t completely take the heat away, here are 30 fun things we can do to make summers more bearable.
