Rediscovering Winters

After spending four years in Mumbai and one year in Bhadrachalam (Andhra Pradesh), I had lost the sense of what winters feel like. No shivers, no blankets, no sweaters.... bathing in the sun was no "pleasure", it was synonymous to mumbai local train travel (with all the sweat!). And shivers were something which occurred to few lucky fellows before exams or results. I used to realise its cold when I felt the need of switching my hostel room fan off! This was closest I got to winters.

Now that I'm staying at home (Bhopal, Central India) in the months of December-January, after 5 years, I am rediscovering winters. Winters are without doubt my favourite season if I'm in North India (my absolute favourite is monsoons in Mumbai... many of those who suffered the 26/7 deluge would call me crazy, but I simply love Mumbai rains!). So, here's just a quick capture of a few "bliss" winter moments that I experienced in the last few days:

1. Getting up at 11 am on a weekend morning.. and still not wanting to get out of bed :P
2. A cup of hot tea on a chilly morning (coffee would be more bliss but i'm off coffee :( )
3. The "20-mintute" hot water bath... or better... bath till hot water runs out!
4. Aalo paratha, sarson-ka-saag with makka-ki-roti, and all winter delicacies (I feel food tastes better in winters :P)
5. A bike-ride late evening which chills you to the bones!
6. Sun-bathing... running out of the office when your cell rings and enjoy the warmth of the sun :)
7. An breezy evening on the CCD by the lake, company of a cute-girl, your favourite music and melting chocolate fantasy! :-)
8. Camp-fire... gazing at the flame and feeling the warmth by your palms
9. Biting off your favourite Top-n-town Icecream on a chilly and breezy winter night! :D

... but nothing beats the bliss of just being wrapped the whole day in a cozy razaai in winters! :)
