Winter is all about cold days, chilly mornings and nights, longing for the sun and seeking warmth. It's about dry fruits, food, woollens, cappuccino, blankets and quilts. It's about creating the perfect amalgamation of hot and cold. Sun is the only blessing most of us seek during the winter days. The human skin is apparently oil-free, cheeks are flushed red and of course, there's absolutely no sweating.
Some of you may have found reasons to love this season but I give you 5 reasons to hate it. Read below-
1. The blinding smog
Has it ever taken you double the time to reach office because you missed the turn you were supposed to take, due to invisibility caused by smog?
Winters arrive with the regular chill and fog that binds our body and blinds our eyes. I absolutely hate the fact that I can't see beyond a few meters, let alone drive to my destination. So don't be sorry, for there's only little you can do about it. Use public transport if you want a reason to bless the government. For a change.
2. Getting in and out of clothes
Now that is something we all dread during winter, old and young alike. Getting out of that pair of jeans and changing into pyjama pants or vice versa, is something I'd rather avoid. Had I had the opportunity to move around the city in a blanket wrapped around me, I'd be more than happy to grab it. The chill that catches me between changing clothes is the main reason I go around in my tracks. However, don't be too concerned about the cold, (or what people will think) go ahead and brave the cold in pants or in shorts.
3. Leaving the bed
Almost everyone shall agree to this. Leaving the bed, mind you, the warm bed, for reasons like getting the door when you're home alone, pouring yourself a glass of water and even answering the nature's call is such a task during winter days that you'd almost skip it all (No, not peeing, though. You wouldn't skip that for the world). So here's a great suggestion on how to avoid instances where you'd have to forcefully get out of your cosy bed: Never get into one, in the first place.
4. Layers
We're talking about the layers of clothes one needs to wear in order to ward off the cold. One tee shirt, one pullover, one cardigan, and one overcoat; additions like a muffler, a cap, ear muffs and gloves (number of layers depend on the individual's resistance to cold). Layering makes it difficult to move the arms freely, making it feel like they've been tugged underneath the clothes. There's no solution to this unless you want to wear minimal clothes for reasons best known to you.
5. Water
No, I don't hate water. I hate water during winter. The need to wash hands and bathe suddenly seems diminished during the cold season. The water in the tap is a good estimator for telling the temperature in the city. You can't shower whenever you wish-which you could do in summer-because you need to switch on the geyser well in advance and make sure the water is warm enough to not give you shivers. Only unless you are blessed with 24 x 7 hot water supply. For people like me, we have dry cleaning.
So this winter season, stay active, stay warm.
