'Many Words for Heat, Many Words for Hate'

By Amitava Kumar

Delhi. Did Virginia Woolf write about the heat while she was traveling in
Italy, Greece and Turkey? I cannot remember. I can remember nothing in this
heat. There have been days where the temperature was over eight degrees
Celsius higher than normal. The previous month was the hottest since India
started keeping records 120 years ago. People dying from heatstroke; schools
closing early or simply shutting down; power outages. Before the heat here I
was at the British Library in London, looking at Woolf's notebooks from her
travels over 1906 -1909. When I bought my own notebook at Heathrow, I made a
little calendar in plain imitation of how Woolf had drawn her plan of
travels during October 1906. Milan, Siena, Perugia.
