"With temperatures on the rise in the city, every single Mumbaikar is dealing with the unwanted heat. However, Andheri's Holy Family Church shares the sentiment in a message that has many people turning heads and making them laugh too. Mumbai's heat is getting to everybody and it is visible in the number of people who are visibly covering their heads throughout the day with umbrellas. As many people react to it on social media, a church in Andheri has taken it a step further by turning it into a light moment for locals and people passing by by sharing a funny yet inspiring message.Holy Family Church in Andheri East's Chakala has put up the message on its eye-catching green board at entrance saying, "Some Days Test You, Some Days Build You, Mumbai Heat Does Both'. The message has also been shared on the social media page of the church's youth page 'Holy Family Parish Youth - Official' or 'Youth Of HolyFamily', and has got many funny reactions, showcasing how it has captured the sentiment of many Mumbaikars. The caption makes it even funnier as it says, "Don't roast your friends. Mumbai heat will", and maybe this is what we need to see to beat the heat. The post is even funnier because it uses the popular song 'Mumbhai', making it all the most (sic) relatable for every local, who is complaining about Mumbai's heat. Interestingly, this is not the first time that the church has put up posts that have been widely shared across social media, especially by youth including not only Gen-Z and Millennials. Among many others, the church had shared an encouraging thought on the very same board, saying, "God Is Pretty Creative, I Mean Look At You'. The post was widely shared not only among the Catholic community but also by people of other faith (sic) in the city, who have been seeing the board and sharing about how relatable they are to their life. It also puts a smile on the face of those who frequently see it when they are passing by, going to work or coming home. On one other occasion, the board also said, "Less Scrolling, More Living", and truer words have never been spoken, even as most people scroll past on the street.
