The article is a personal account of the author's experience working as a migrant laborer in India during the summer months. The author, who remains anonymous, shares their struggles with the intense heat and its impact on their physical and mental health.
During the hot summer months, the author had to work long hours in poorly ventilated workplaces without access to basic amenities such as air conditioning or adequate restrooms. They were also expected to store large quantities of goods in cramped and dusty storage areas, which further exacerbated their health issues.

Despite these challenges, the author emphasizes the importance of treating migrant workers with dignity and respect, ensuring they have access to basic amenities, flexible work arrangements, and support systems that prioritize their well-being.
The article includes a section on "Production team" which lists several names but does not provide any further details about them.

this is just not right, working conditions are ridiculous, especially during hot summer months, like anyone can handle 12+ hours of work without AC or proper restrooms? I get that it's a living but basic human rights shouldn't be sacrificed for a paycheck... 
But seriously though, these migrant workers are basically working slaves or something. They need better protections & support. It's not just about the physical health issues, but also the mental toll of living in such harsh conditions. We should be thinking about how we can make their lives easier, you know? Like, flexible work hours, proper ventilation, access to healthcare... it's all basic human rights stuff 
. It's so sad that people have to go through all that for work. We should really prioritize their well-being and make sure they're treated with dignity. Governments and companies need to step up and provide better working conditions and support systems for them

. But what's crazy is how some people still don't realize that this kind of treatment is unacceptable. Like, who expects you to work 12 hours straight in a sweltering hot room with no AC? 
.
. I mean, come on, if you want to make a difference, get out there and start working yourself! Don't just sit around telling stories about how hard it is to work in the sun
