Winter Waiting

Delhi winter is coming thick andfast.....i remeber my 1st winter in delhi It was chilly outside and you rush to your home, chuck your bags and rush to get a cup of impetuous coffee. The gauzy curtains flutter only to welcome the December breeze, long waiting outside like a doormat, in the snowy fringes of the wooden brackets of your house. You switch on the television to know that there is a recent snowfall in Shimla. Oh! That's why it's so chilled out here. You wish you could have changed the direction of the Himalayas or atleast the course of your holiday. Neither. But still, it is the time when you can move out in a sunny morning to explore the beauty of Delhi in a new attire. Trees with no cloth on their bodies, shivering like a stray dog nestling under its wooden shade. The red sandstone monuments shine in the morning sun and is congrously reflected into the hearts of Delhites. Still..there is an air of euphoria that floats above the shivering minds of the people.
