5 Things I Love about Winter

I seem to share a love-hate relationship with this chilly winter season, but then who is to blame? My last blog-post was about how much I hate winter season for reasons now known to all. Nevertheless, there are two sides of a coin, so apparently, I also kinda like the season for the very few reasons that I have gathered. Despise and despite the cold, I find myself admiring it. Maybe you can relate. 


 1. Everything hot

                                            

And by that I most certainly mean I love myself. Well, keeping aside my self-obsession, I really like a warm body (mine or ...), warm bed, warm days and warm people (I can transfer my cold to them in return for the warmth). Oh, talking of hot things, I am more than happy to use the laptop on my lap for its bottom is as hot as your partner (I don't mean it, though). You never know warm unless you know cold, so that's how it works. There's one exception and that is well, the hot-dog which I don't like. 

2. Food


There's no reason to not love food, be it winter or summer. A straight-out-of-the-oven double cheese margherita with barbecued chicken is one of the finest foods one can get in order to beat the biting cold. Well, that's my idea of a warm indulgence. A bowl of soup, a hot chocolate fudge, a warm doughnut, but nothing beats a steaming mug of hot coffee. It's best when its Rich Made. I'll go fetch another cup as you move on to the next point.

3. Tight hugs



This one's my personal favourite.. I'm all up for hugs irrespective of the season. And when it's as cold as 7 degrees centigrade, tight hugs can make you feel warm inside out. The best ones are those that last more than a minute, you know right? And then someone said, "The nicest thing about hugs is that you can't give one without getting one." So, spread some love and warmth this winter, Be a hugg-er.

4. Sun


Will you disagree with me if I say I love the sun during the winter? No, right? The sun is our resort when we need a natural heater and on days when the Sun God is kind enough, know that you're blessed. I never crave for sunlight any more than I do during these 2-3 months.


5. Goodbye
         

I know goodbyes suck but trust me, the only goodbye I like to bid is to the winter season. Finally, the torment will be over.


Some may love winter, others may hate, some may hate summer, others may love it. It's the nature's game, and there's nothing we can do but adapt to it, unless, of course, you want to migrate to places where weather conditions please you all year round.


I'm reminded of these lines as winter arrives in full swing with a strange calmness to it:


"If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?"

7 Things Girls Need to get Right

Disclaimer- This piece is a personal opinion and should not be taken as a remark on anyone. The readers are requested to not be offended since I mean no offence at all. And if you end up being offended, the writer is not to be blamed. Thank you!  I have seen a lot of girls previously but thanks to my college, I now see hundreds of them each day. And analyse them. After so much analysis and observation, I finally discovered some things that ladies and girls need to improve upon and get right. Read on.  1. Wax the underarms  So this is a big big turn off for most people. Girls, you may wear sleeveless tops and dresses but know that we don't like to see the bushy region in your armpits that you least proudly show off. Ensure that you are perfectly waxed or have negligible growth the next time you decide to wear something with no sleeves. There's enough hair on your head, we don't need any more to admire.  2. Plastic straps   If the government was cons...

What's in a Date?

Okay so today we celebrate the last sequential date in this century, 11-12-13.  It's the last date with consecutive numbers to appear in the 21st century, but why the hype?  Did they forget that every damn date in this century will never repeat itself?  Or is this just another money-minting criteria adopted by hotels, hospitals, bars, wedding planners and pandit ji's to brainwash people's minds and inform them about the importance of this one date?  Why the craze to tie the knot on this so called 'auspicious' date? Why the craze to deliver babies on this day? Are you going to tell me that its a 'lucky' day and will make your marriage last a year more than mine? Or your baby will be born an actor or IITian? Or probably that the food at restaurants will be better today?  Hell, no. If love doesn't see person or time, why does it see dates? Ladies, If babies born on other dates can become Shahrukh Khan and Sachin Tendulkar, why the fuss about paining your bo...

We Think We Have Time

An eerie quietness fills the room   Something doesn't seem right today He is waiting for me in bed I slip into the blanket that covers his body I tell him that he needs to be well He doesn't listen to me I am yearning to hear him speak He doesn't talk much I am waiting for his words of wisdom He hardly even says anything I remind him of his strength  His body is weak  I feed him naan khatai and imarti each day He is thinning by the day I bring him his favourite food He doesn't eat two square meals in a day I cook him his favourite mutton biryani He can't eat two square meals in a day I bring him filter coffee from the nukkad of the street He can hardly even drink water  I ask him if he'd like to dance with me He can't stand on his two feet  I try to put him to sleep His eyes are tired of being shut  I stay quiet for a few minutes  He reaches for my hand I can't stop the tears from running do...
