the climate here, and there

the winters are finally and thankfully here. the numbing fingers, the bone chilling breeze that shakes you up when you run into the balcony after bath to hang your towel on the cord in just your undies :D. the blinding fog that disappears but paints the whole world gray. somehow my trip to narkanda induced the weather, it seems to me.


although it should be cold where should be but it seems that some authorities are trying to do utmost to tweak the climate in some other part of the world where it is beautifully hot. i mean this is a total disaster. what are they thinking? do the girl not have right to stand shoulder to shoulder with men? even in a developed nation? what are they trying to make of the country - another saudi? a move totally against what feminism and women liberation stands for :D authorities in sydney are planning to ban girls from going topless on the beaches.

if heaven is anywhere, then it is here on earth and you experience it in bits and pieces.

on a chilly saturday morning, sitting on a cane ottoman and eating smoking aalo ke paranthe being made by mom fresh, along with semi frozen powdery chunks of desi ghee, and sipping on the strong milk coffee which you yourself prepared while glancing into the interesting account of his ascent of everest by edmund hillary in 'high adventure', you experience another bit.

fate sometimes has an interesting way to drive you from getting what you desire to what you deserve.
