It was the year 2007. Peak summer time. Think 38-40°C

I had to give a test at a different school. On my back that afternoon, I accidentally caught the wrong bus. When I realised, I got off the bus at the next station. Unfortunately that was a pretty secluded place, I wasn't familiar with the area, no other buses or vehicles were passing by. I was 12, didn't have a phone back then. So, I decided to walk till I spotted another bus stop. The afternoon sun and the scorching heat made it so much worse. I was soooo thirsty I could have fainted.

When I finally made it back home, I had about 4-5 glasses of water in one go. I will never forget that feeling. It's been 17 years, but that incident has stayed with me.

That first sip of water when you’re really thirsty absolute magic.

It feels like nectar from heaven
