Winter is coming...and we are already dreading it

The start of winter has begun to feel a little apocalyptic with smog situation in Delhi getting worse by the day

Winter has always been my favourite time of year. The moment the temperatures begin to dip in the early morning and the darkness sets in early, my heart starts to soar. Winter is coming, I tell myself excitedly. Though not in a George R.R. Martin way, thank God!

So, compared to those who had to brave the streets and the dust and smoke of Delhi traffic, I didn’t do badly at all. And yet, through it all I was plagued by a vague sense of dissatisfaction, a nagging feeling of missing out on my favourite season of the year...

No matter how carefully I peeled the oranges, a few drops of the juice always spilled on the book I was reading. And now, when I reread one of them and see that tell-tale stain, it takes me back to that lovely sun-filled terrace where I spent so many happy hours breathing in that cold winter air.
