No , there’s nothing special about this winter . I do not have snow on the green lawn that stretches idly infront of our home nor bonfires in the woods!!
But then again things are different if not special. This isn’t one of those sunny winters; the one takes all your gloom away and makes you grin silly at everything and everything. It’s been raining heavily since past two days at nights and early mornings followed by cloudy and chilly days somehow affecting my moods. I’ve gotten a lot philosophical all of a sudden :P and at the same time I’m in peace with a lot of things I normally wouldn’t be. Though there’s a throbbing pain somewhere deep in me, can’t really place it. Don’t know where it exactly hurts, but it does in a nagging way, numbing my senses sometimes!
For some reason I seem to enjoy the winter like I never have. I love to squirm inside my quilt and lay there all warm and cozy till someone hollers at me to get myself out of my tortoise shell, they say. Hehe. I am loving the hot coffees, the whole lotta literature I have got to study for exams, the prospect of doing so much in the coming days of the year.
But the point is , I have always been the summer loving person, all these 20 years. Essentially this partiality owes to the several family summer trips and ice cream synonymous with summers. Now that even having a huge sundae at 12 in the night on 31st dec right beneath the royal blue shimmering sky isn’t a big deal the latter case has lost its charm. With the summer vacation gone , on top of that even semester’s end sem exams to look forward to in the months of may-june , the summer loving squirrel has transformed into the winter blooming dahlias which soak themselves in the mild winter sun !
