Winters setting in..


Today's post somehow triggered from my early morning sleep..Yeah u read it right, me napping in the morning hours, while traveling to work..Winters are setting in and so is the morning sleep which somehow automatically sprawls over. And when I was still drinking in the changing season, somehow I remembered gulzar from his lovely poetry, which somehow gels with the season so beautifully.


barfili sardiyon mein kisi bhi pahaad par
vaadi mein gunjti hui khaamoshiya sunein
aankhon mein bheege bheege se lamhe liye hue
dil dhoondhata hai phir vahi fursat ke raat din..

That's what Winters symbolisms to me ..Its a season to relish the sunshine, laziness, food, flowers. Its an awesome feeling to just lie cuddled in a blanket and fall asleep as if u have not slept for long hours. The sun is not so warm but is still such a welcome with not a care of tan and heat stroke. There are so many colors of the flowers ..infact the winters in Delhi is not so harsh, which helps the winter plants bloom to lovely colors. The vegetables look so fresh as compared to the dead look from the summers. The land doesn't look parched at all...infact it looks rich and fertile with the early morning dew falling on it, the trees and leaves look as if God watered them early morning. The children on the street with their noses and cheeks running red getting ready for their schools look so adorable. And if u have a day off do nothing but sit in the sun, peel peanuts, peas or carrots and eat them. Nothing feels more heavenly.
Try listening to Gulzar in his popular songs ( I managed to get a few clips from the net)

hamane dekhii hai in aa.Nkho.n kii mahakatii khushabuu
haath se chhuuke ise rishto.n kaa ilzaam na do
sirf ehasaas hai ye ruuh se mahasuus karo
pyaar ko pyaar hii rahane do koii naam na do

or ..

Tum pukar lo, tumhara intezaar hai, tum pukar lo
Khwaab chun rahi hai raat beqarar hai
Tumhara intezaar hai, tum pukar lo

Honth pe liye hue dil ki baat ham
Jaagte rahenge aur kitni raat ham
Muqtasar si baat hai tum se pyaar hai
Tumhara intezaar hai, tum pukar lo

Dil bahal to jaayega is khayal se
Haal mil gaya tumhara apne haal se
Raat ye qaraar ki beqarar hai
Tumhara intezaar hai..

I can almost hear u singing them like i did :) ..if u know these songs and heard them being sung than u are bound to hymn them along and drift of to sleep ..doesnt it sounds like perfect winter !
