Season(s)

I wonder - which season would you like to be ?
For now, I know I'm one. But if you had to pick one forever ! Then which one ?

Would it be the summer ? The bright sun shiny days. Days of flip flops and sunny wear. Cottons and lot's of ice creams. Water lot's. Heat I know but at least it's not gloomy ! The flowers and trees in full bloom. Eating yummy khana no matter what. Traveling seems easier then. Not comfortable but easier. It Holi and Teej time. Its vacation from schools !

Winter is pretty too. Its cold. Its chilly. It pleasant but it can get gloomy. There is hail and snow. There is cuddling up and trying to get warm. There is/are hot khana(s) to help you get by and sitting out in the cafes. It can get annoying if it gets extremely cold - which then does not let you move around too much. It's Christmas and New Year time.

Monsoons make most of us sigh ! It makes us wonder. Sometimes, gets us to miss a lot gone by. Sometimes makes us want and desire. We curse when a vehicle goes into a puddle and splashes it all on us while walking or a major traffic jam due to water logging. We do not like the floods. Street food, they say, can get dicey during the monsoons. But it's very scenic and gorgeous. It can be a dangerous season too. It's a necessity for most !

I was a summer. I am a summer. Always have been. Ponjee said she would like to be an entire year ! She also thinks we should all wish to be an entire year.

And you ? If you had to pick and choose ? Tell !

  1. Yes monsoons do have that kind of an effect. Contemplating 'types' :P
    I think it is so because monsoon reminds us of our best times :)

  2. Spring! The fag end of winter. Everything is new. It's not too hot. Everything is a new green. Everything is just waking up. Spring reminds me of new leaves and blooming flowers and dew-droppy mornings! A heady mix of all!

    Spring.
