Waiting for winters

At the onset of a new day, today is the first day and the last month of the year. People from other parts of India have started enjoying the winter season. But till now I haven’t see any sign of it in Hyderabad.

I miss the wintry season which I spent in Assam. This time of the year the nights were chilly and you wake up early in the morning to find the earth enclosed with fog. With dew drops on flowers and leaves, the cuckoo’s song added the beauty to the frosty mornings. Basking in the breezy rays of the winter sunshine, I loved sipping special tea (piping hot) frequently with ginger and elachi added in it. At night, covered with wollens and blankets,I enjoyed sitting round in a fireplace with my parents and brothers.

Recollecting the reminiscences of wintry days spent in Assam, now here in Hyderabad I am fervently waiting to welcome the winter season.
