This one’s not for the people who love winters. I prefer giving disclaimers before someone invest their time and energy on something I want to do or show them.
Well, the season of hot chocolate, coffee and frequent ginger-tea breaks is about to bid us goodbye for now, I am so thrilled to welcome the chilled smoothie season of summer!
Talking about the season which comes in between the winter and summer and that’s spring. I don’t have very good memories with spring you know! After years of completing school, the phobia of annual exams stays put. I hate Holi which is celebrated in spring, and not to forget the constant confusion of wearing a sweater or not or the struggle of maintaining body temperature by taking one leg out of the blanket or not is tiresome. It is the season of chickenpox and COVID-19 welcomed itself into our lives in the spring of 2020. Phew!
There are good things about spring too. It is the gujhiya season, short night-walks on the terrace season and from chilly to warm-cool wind season. There are new flowers and new fruits. Dahlias begin to dry but daffodils and tulips bloom in their glory. Strawberries and pineapples knock their way into the grocery stores. It is the time of sun-bathing the sweaters and blankets before they go into their "hibernation" until next winter or a mountain trip!
Coming back to summers, this season to me is like freedom from the shackles of comforting bed and cosy sweaters, endless nagging about daily bathing, perturbing shivering and sempiternal application of lip balms and body butter on my extra dry skin. Every year I am filled with so much energy and hope that this summer, I am gonna kill it! I merely achieve my goals but I like the fact that I am naturally injected with aspirations of losing weight, being productive and learning to make types of smoothies!
I live in a city which is dry in summers and brings the loo winds with it. On some days I live on Electral too and get sun-tanned. But I forget every pain given by the hot summer to enjoy the quirky side of it. Down the memory lane, I feel we accept the worst of things when we love something or someone dearly. And we tend to complain about even the slightest inconvenience caused by something or someone we hate.
I won't say all days of winter are harsh and dark. Somedays it teaches me to feel the warmth of the sun that I tend to hate in summer and winter comes with sexy boots and long overcoats. But again, summer, that's my thing!
Well, that's what the equation of summer and winter is with me! ;P Thanks and Happy Summer! :D
