A welcome note.


Winter season is at its threshold and I’m so much looking forward to it. This realization occurred to me when yesterday morning, while waiting for my bus, the sun shone bright on my face and I stood still receiving its warmth with full acceptance. The feeling was inexplicable. I could never enjoy the sunlight so much as I did at that moment of this entire passing year. I gradually took a step forward, tilted my head up, closed my eyes and let myself completely exposed to its heat. I was enjoying this one-to-one communication with the heavenly body “the sun” when suddenly my friend pulled me back from this thought process asking me to get on to the bus which had shortly arrived. 

Winter is one of the seasons that I enjoy the most. It enables me feel the environment and its surroundings to the core. The small little things that do not hold that supreme a position in my daily life suddenly become my priorities or maybe necessities. For instance, the feeling of clasping the steaming hot cup of tea with both the hands and savoring its small sips is just amazing. Nothing can beat the pleasure that I derive out of it.  The gush of cold wind blowing past me bringing my wet hair on my face simply makes me feel beautiful from inside. The idea of strolling on the street in the eve time with someone you enjoy conversing with fills me with enthusiasm and joy. Sensing strong hunger pangs immediately after having meal just at the sight of boiled eggs sold by the street vendors amazes me. Warming myself inside the quilt by rubbing my hands against each other comforts me. 

I believe I can never enjoy so many pleasurable moments in a single season as I can in winters. 

WELCOME WINTER WELCOME !!!!
