Snow

Snow is such a beautiful thing. Sure it gets dreary after a while when it's been lying on the ground and gets dirty and slippery. But when it's falling, in a gentle shower, it is so beautiful.

This is what I wrote one day when I was walking back to my room in York:

"When I see the tiny flakes falling all around me, it gives me a feeling of contentment. And of warmth inside, even though my face (the only exposed part of my body), is freezing. I can sit and watch it for hours from my window. I can forget my woes, and just be happy to be alive." :)

It's a feeling similar to when you sit on a beach and watch the waves crash against the shore. Or when you stand in the middle of a woods, with no one else around, just Nature.

I miss snow.

You know you've been in Toronto too long when

I wrote down these things while I was in Toronto, after reading some note on the idea - You know you've lived in ___ long enough when.

- When it's ok to join a Tim Hortons queue even though it is 3 rows long, because you know you'll be served within the next 15 minutes.

- When you check the weather everytime before leaving room.

- When you check the weather 5 times a day to remind yourself that it is cold outside, and bless the people who came up with central heating.

- When 15 degrees in India feels like summer.

- When pasta is also a salad.

- When no matter which part of the city you are in, a plane WILL pass over your head every 5 minutes.

- When there is so much static around due to lack of humidity that you're scared of touching door handles for fear of electrocution, and separating laundry clothes after drying them in the dryer, especially jackets, socks and scarves, is an experiment in electricity.

Ahh sweet revenge

"Oh oh this one's perfect Gunther Dietrich. Oh he's loads of fun. And he's a runway model."
Frasier -
"A German narcissist, there's an appealing combination."

Marty -
"What are you guys doing drinking wine at a ballgame. You ought to be drinking beer.
Niles -
"Dad I only drink beer when I eat German food. Which is to say never."

Fearless :)

There's somethin' 'bout the way
The street looks when it's just rained
There’s a glow off the pavement
Walk me to the car
And you know I wanna ask you to dance right there
In the middle of the parking lot, yeah

We're drivin' down the road
I wonder if you know
I'm tryin' so hard not to get caught up now
But you're just so cool
Run your hands through your hair
Absent mindedly makin' me want you

And I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first, fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance
In a storm in my best dress, fearless..

Romaanch

ज़िन्दगी में कई बार ऐसे मौके आते हैं जब हम ऐसा कुछ करते हैं जो हमने कभी सोचा भी नहीं था हम करेंगे| कभी हम मजबूर होते हैं, तो कभी खुद की मर्जी से कुछ नया try करते हैं| हमें हमेशा पता नहीं होता की अंत result क्या होगा, शायद कहीं इसी में रोमांच भरा होता है|

Sometimes I just feel the need for someone to grab hold of my shoulders and shake me, till my freaking teeth rattle, in an attempt to restart my brain. Why does it seem that there is nothing I can possibly do correctly? I hate the fucking guilt more than anything else. Ok maybe I hate the dip in self-respect more.
