Winter is here !

The winter is here (according to Google doodle)

I can spot all kinds of trendy winter wear… pull overs... Scarfs... Jackets and boots

While me? I can only put on clothes and look as if I’m a patient just out of bed recovering :/

I’m freezing even though the guys in my office are trying to play strong by not wearing single winter clothing (you think we can’t notice the goose bumps! don’t u?!) i can imagine my colleague smirking and still nodding that its not him +Shafeeque NK 

So I’m in the local bus at 6 30 in the evening with all my weapons on…to fight against the cold wind blowing.

But there seems to be a strong puff of air blowing now and then

The girl in the next seat is trying to play with the window pane (to flaunt her new hair style I guess) I’m furious but I silently change my seat (Nothing unusual.. I’m not the fighting types)

“I've got to sue her if I’m catching a cold “ I exasperate (her fabulous hairstyle can be the unstated reason)

I get down and spot the famous ice cream shop

Wow… suddenly I’m seeing ice creams all around

Even the scene from “Cloudy with a chance of meat balls” where the whole town is filled with ice cream scoops seems to be twirling in front of my eyes

I buy the ones which have Choco chips on them (And needless to say.. they are awesome)

I am being eyed by the fellow walkers (now what’s their problem?) Can’t we have one perfect walk with ice cream in our hands? (Ignoring the running nose.. fluffy eyes ..Nose that has almost turned into the color of tomato and the weather conditions)

So I reach home

There is a call from my mom (Damn! Every time I’m even remotely doing something that I ought not to... there she is!)

One hello and she starts with her part of lecturing asking me to be in shape… (Mom can know everything in a blink!)

She’s going on and on about the various diseases in this season.. The cons of catching a cold.. (I have that now)... of getting sore throat (I have that too)... Or even worse… Cough (oh wait! I’m in the verge of getting it now!)

She never listens to my reasons.. Why on earth should i??

Nonetheless I tell her all kinds of things (and I remember trying to explain her why my marks are less every time we were going to get my marks card during schooldays)

I go on and on about how the bus incident could have affected

How my 2000 Rs worth of winter wear that I bought recently is not enough (when weird characters are travelling along with me in the bus)

Also about chances that washing hands in cold water could have added up to it (I know it’s silly.. but look! The list is longer now!)

There is silence all this time and ’I've realized that after speaking for five straight mins. I call her and there is a gasp…

“I think you should” she says slowly... Munching onto something...” stop wasting your money on unwanted things and start buying nice winter wear! Don’t you?”

I realize we both are not even remotely on the same page.

Agree to whatever she’s saying

Hang up the phone

And start hogging on my 3rd cone for the day (Damn we spoke for long! It’s almost melting now!)
