Hey…
I hope you all are doing well…
The cold weather brings out a lot of hidden,
trapped feelings,
and memories of things and incidents that happened,
the last year,
or somewhere along the winter season…
I don’t know how,
but this body remembers,
each and every thing that happened,
even if my memories give up on me,
there are some things that subconscious remembers,
maybe keep tabs on,
to play those memories year after year again….
Being from the country of such a diversity,
winters are never spent in boredom,
we spend our evenings chomping on things,
that might not be healthy in the long run,
Gajar ka halwa (Carrot pudding for the international readers),
jalebi ‘s (An Indian version of funnel cake),
and
Saag (Spinach stew),
the last one is one of my favorites,
which is made in big pots and goes on for days maybe a week,
it doesn’t last that long in an Indian household,
but,
Acquired taste is a thing and with age comes such a palate,
which is actually good and nutritious for the health…
This is all the positives,
but,
We have to talk about the negatives too,
the seasonal depression,
the memories that haunt,
and the drinking that people pick up…
Having friends and their plans to sit somewhere,
to drink and enjoy life and its virtues,
that becomes a common thing in my country,
so,
these types of things rise,
and the consequences of such actions too…
Overall,
it becomes a good time that can be enjoyed by all,
with a mix of bad things that go hand in hand…
Cheers 🥂
Love Waakiye 🤍
