Winter of 2006 has relatively been quite mild to my surprise and I don't say I am disappointed. I am thrilled. I can go out with either a no jacket or a light one or even just a shawl and it suffices, and I love it. I hate the snow, hate the biting cold, the lifeless roads, the ice, the static.......... Oh gosh!!! I wonder how people survive further north.
This reminds me how I used to love the winter in Bombay, though winter was just a namesake then. But even a few pleasant evenings and mornings were cherished, most of all "the no perspiration days." Back then, we used to have a wonderful winter breakfast at home. To start with, mom wuld give us dates dipped...oops sorry soaked in homemade ghee, followed by a full glass of bournvita. Then it would be toast or khakhra, spoonful of chawanprash and a juice, beet-carrot juice or simply orange. Wasn't it a healthy way to start the day? Oh I loved being pampered by mom. I miss her so much.
