Random notes - Snow.

Its every girls dream... flakes of snow falling like soft feathers.. like somebody has set off the candy floss machine up above (and forgot to put in the bright pink colour!!!!)...the whole place is covered with a pristine white carpet.. so white that it dazzles the eye... you wonder if white could be any whiter????The trees are iced with them....making them look like a part of a huge marzipan cake...the whole place from a birds eye view looks like a bowl of cereal drenched in milk...(I know it sounds bizarre.. but it does!!!)... and like Cupid has tipped a giant tub of vanilla ice cream over the place!!!!There is something very very ethereal about snow...and the sound of snow falling... if you listen hard,you can hear it falling.. in almost silent thuds...the sound of a white fleece blanket being unfurled on a soft mattress...so clean and starking crisp.And the feeling it brings ... electric and sparky.. the air is so crisp... that it assumes a very physical nature and you feel like you can crush the air between your fingers as would do to starched linen.All you want to do is to curl up on your couch with a cup of steaming coffee.. the heaters on.. all wrapped in a cozy blanket...reading a book (or watching tv for non-readers)...the curtains drawn out for you to take an occasional peek outside...or just take a long warm bath.. soaking in some hot water with lavender bubble bath.... or just be frivolous and run out to play in the snow... making snow men... bombarding each other with snow balls....your cheeks and nose all red and burning after the exercise...hmmmmmmmm....Divine I would say :)

Rachikutty,
Your description about snow was so realistic that I felt transported to your place and I could even feel the snow (I am not joking!). Again thanks to nivedh and family for giving my darling daughter an opportunity to experience the snow and thanks almighty for bestowing her with a poetic flair.Let your imagination flowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.............

Hey Rapsy,

It seems its snowed like this in london after 18 years and see how lucky can I be to have had to opportunity to spend that time with you making snow 'men' :) (you know what that smile is for) and throwing snow balls on you and walking through our very own snow garden.

Really enjoyed it, now missing it.

Oh on your blog, yes as you can see the blog is so effective that it got some precious words out of my mouth (heart I guess)which I dont think I have told you as yet.

Keep writing, as it feels eternal to read it.
