“It’s Spring Already”

After staying in Buffalo for more than a year and half, one thing I miss the most about Bangalore is the weather. Here in Buffalo it is winter for almost 8 months of the year of which it is snowing for about six months. During these months I feel that I hibernate. I yearn for warmer days and any colour. And even the people do not dress brightly during these winter months. The colours of the season are predominantly white and shades of grey. This also causes some amount of depression in the minds of the people living here.

But all these things that I am cribbing about just came to an end. It’s Spring time!!! It is warmer and more colourful. It might sound like a cliché but these days I wake up to brighter, earlier mornings and to the birds chirping on the tree branches just outside my window. The trees have bloomed and the lilies are out. It is such a picturesque season. The mood of the people is elated. They wear brighter colours and are much happier. How I love this season. I wish it stayed like this all the time.
