With 30 degrees Celcius two days ago, I thought winter would be here only when pigs fly
. In hindsight, I see how wrong I was!
The chilly winds from the Ganges mingling with the scent of Shiuli flowers are weaving a bucolic charm on the hamstrings of a paradise underway! The chimerical picaresque Calcutta of the winter months is finally a reality now. I can go to College street and have a cup of coffee with fish fry and chicken cutlet at the timeless Coffee House ! I can imbibe the sublime beauty of Victoria Memorial without having to worry about the scorching heat baking me along the way!
I am already wrapped around a muffler and a Cotswool shirt!
How are y'all?
How is your day?
Do you like Winter?

"Christmas is a homely festival. Its celebrated within the family." That's what my sister says all the time when I lament that I have never been to Park Street to see Christmas Celebration.
She lives in Dublin.She is not my biological sister. A distant relative she is. But I call her sister.

@dreamerby I love winter. Here we have 12 degrees right now and next week will drop to 6 - I hope. I was in Calcutta in November 1979 and I loved it.
