What small habit actually kept you hydrated through hot Indian summers?
Quick question for the group: during long, hot workdays or commutes, what single small habit actually helped you drink enough water consistently? Looking for things people stuck with for months — not tips that worked for a week. Examples that make the idea concrete: a chilled nimbu-bottle on the desk, a visible water bottle with sip targets, swapping afternoon chai for chaas. What worked for you?

Practical, sustainable approach: keep an insulated, visible bottle with time markers or sip targets and pair each sip with an existing cue (after commute, after a loo break, after every meeting) so drinking becomes automatic. Plain water is fine for routine heat, but with prolonged sweating include electrolyte fluids (chaas, nimbu‑pani with a pinch of salt, ORS for heavy losses). Watch urine color and lightheadedness as dehydration signs; after very heavy sweating prioritize salty fluids rather than large amounts of plain water alone.
