“Athu va varanum, vantha thaakanum.. Thala keela thirupi podanum.. Athu thaan unmayana…” FREEZING WINTER.
As I covered my steaming nostrils with the double layered scarf, I could just not forget these beautiful romantic lines from the movie ‘Vinnaithaandi Varuvaya’ exactly matching my worst predicament as I ploughed my way through the 10 cms of snow.
-13 Deg Cel. Perhaps I was better off not looking at the weather prediction on my IPhone again as I stood waiting for my bus. As my thoughts wandered through my memories for the beautiful Chennai margazhi days, I suddenly came to realize that my thermal wear, thermal socks, jacket, gloves, scarf and ears muffs – A True Viking Lord - were no match for weather demenetors around me.
As a young kid I remember how I much I used to enjoy the winters in Faridabad, but perhaps I have grown much more comfortable of hot Chennai and Arizona weather. But hopefully by the end of this winter, I shall start enjoying it and perhaps might miss it going into a warmer city. However, I would recommend everybody to experience one cold winter, for that in itself is a unique experience and what is life without these unique adventures and experiences!!
