One of the reasons I've disliked Delhi for is its absence of two of the most beautiful things of Nature-two things I really love...Sea and Snow.
Mumbai scores a lot of points over Delhi in my eyes because of The Arabian Sea. Infact one thing for which I fell in love with the IITB campus when I went there last year was the lakes (the other being the hilltop). Water is such a beautiful, sublime gift of Nature. (I'm now looking forward to my next week's visit to Mumbai and Goa:D)
The other thing is Snow. It's so pretty, so beautiful, so enchanting, so cool that it's actually hot!
But we in Delhi don't even get that!:(
Winters get sufficiently chilly..but it's always like "almost there, but not quite". A near-zero temperature loses half its worth and becomes double as chilly when it doesnt't fall to sub-zero and allows the snow to fall!!
Having said all this, I'm still a huge fan of Meri Dilli(inspite of ALL else that may be good, bad or ugly) because of the ULTIMATE variety of everything-people, food, cultures and especially, weather.
We get the joys of all kinds of seasons over a year, and be it Rajasthan's heat or Shimla's chill, or cherrapunji's monsoon, we have our own miniature versions of everything!
It gives a feeling of completeness in a way. My wardrobe has clothes of all seasons and reasons. So is the kind of food I get to eat in a year, and the various types of routines my days take.
Ah! I'm definitely not complaining!:D
But there is the other side of it naa, which some people dislike(I don't, not much...I love DRAMA in life, I love things to be 'happening' and 'unpredictable' all the time, atleast a lot of the time. I dislike routines and monotony.)
There's absolutely no reliability about the weather patterns. It'll snow in Shimla and Delhi will become cooler.
Winds blow in Pakistan and monsoon gets delayed here.
Jaipur burns and transfers the heat to Delhi!!
Hadd hai...apna bhi kuch hai ki nahi?
Amongst all seasons, obviously Spring is the best- for the pleasant weather and the plethora of beauty. But winter is a close second. It's sooo beautiful, so comfortable, and one could freely do anything once u've worn lotsa clothes!:P
Infact, there's only one thing that can beat "Icecream on a chilly winter night walking on a dark road"...which is "Icecream in a drizzle walking on a deserted road alone!"
It's one of the most peaceful (and romantic) things on Earth!
Right now, it's the delightful winter dawning on Delhi. And it's unusually cool for this time of the year, so that temperature are already hitting 4.5 degrees at night(subtract atleast 2 for IITD campus, another one for MY ROOM!!!). The breeze that's flowing is oh-sooo-chilly, and nights are soo cold that I have to switch off my computer at night because I can't convince myself to bring out my fingers from my blanket and type!! But stiil, that's THE beauty. Winter legitimises ur indolence!!!D
The only thing that makes it uncomfortable, just a little bit, is these sickening exams, which label two of the most delightful things of winter-sleep and laziness- appear like a sin.
Although inspite of all this, I'm still sleepin 10-12 hours these days(majors hain, I'm amazingly weli!!!!!!) and acting sooo lazy that I dont care to get out of my bed to pick up a book 3 feet away, as a result of which I don't study and leave the curse unfinished and end up losing a grade!!
But frankly, I don't care!
Exams to aate jaate rehte hain...I'm just enjoying the icy weather!!!!
Anyway, there's just one more exam to go.
Then I'll be free to enjoy lotsa sleep, lotsa hot-drinks and hot-conversations for atleast one week(and then I'll be off on a vacation...where hopefully there'll be lotsa hot guys:P:P:P!!!)

Hmm... *wonders what that could mean*
Arre yaar.. sardi garmi everything is mast. everything is nice.
and also.. mausam to aate jaate rehte hain!
(btw i see teri geography achi thi! :P winds shinds sab yaad hain...)
[[Bhalta style smile (:-) ]]
Snow depends more on the humidity level than the temperature. Delhi is so dry in winter that it wouldn't snow even if the temperature goes below zero.
You know what you are missing , though I have had enough of both of them for the time being :-) (lucky, happy me :-)) ). Water is amazing and When it snows it is heavenly (though i hate it when the snow starts melting)
I like the summers too...what with the mangoes and the minimal clothing and eye candy and such :P
Anon already said what I had to say. Delhi may not get snowfall even the temp goes below freezing point. It's actually a common misconception that sub-zero temperature will definitely mean snowfall. snow wdn't fall from a clear sky, wd it? On the contrary, I've experienced snowfall even at 5 deg C
During my month-long stay in Delhi (Dec 15 to Jan 15,), I had loved the winter there :-)
U`ll b touring and holidaying just to meet handsome hunks! :P:P
Guess we are better off during winters ..cuz girls everywhere somehow look hotter than normal as the chill sets in :D
agreed delhi is great n so r its winters :)
though me was just wondering why did u subtracted 2 frm IITD campus' temperature ?
i guess that's coz of the dearth of HOT gals that the temperature in IITD
campus is even below normal :), n ur rooms temperature is even lower...lolz
PS: happy bird watching aka guys GAZING (in ur terms) n best of luck for the last exam !
@Mani
Keep wondering u pervert.
just remember that I mentioned lots-of-clothes-on!!
:P
@Anon, Raja
Arey my geography isn't so bad that I wouldnt know that!
All I meant was that since we anyway have winter rains in December, had the temperature been a little lower, there was a good chance of having snowfall....
@inhas
All right now i'm jealous.
That was ur aim right?
Now what next!:P
@TLC
Of course i'm hoping to!!
:D
Thats why I said yday i'm hoping NOT to run into you guys in Goa!!
:P:P:P:P
Just kiddin;
@kon ??
Zara iit aake dekho...u'll realise how cool it is..
Almost jungle hai....esp mere hostel ke aspas kafi ped hain na
And my room is colder mainly because of a perpetually open window, a balcony whose door is often open, and a main door that opens into an open corridor every few minutes!!
Plus u know wat, WE ARE THE KOOLEST NA...
and i'm kool and the best too..
thats why!
HOT girls ki kami nahi hai...HOT guys ki hai...aur afterall guys hain hi zyada, to temp to lower hona hi hai
Mission accomplished.. Now you go and enjoy your hols.. and do not forget to apply when your time comes :-)

--
But its okay... you can say there'r no hot guys.. aakhir apni frustration kahi to nikaalegi na... koi nahi... I agree with you yaar...

@inhas

Gosh, ever seen someone more stubborn and "dhheet"
even refuses to die!!
yeah, try this on others..i wanna see the results
Will read the post later, although it has become very cold all of a sudden hasn't it?
For now, thanks for changing my name on your side panel. Of course it's your blog and you can call me anything you want, it's entirely your wish.
I wasn't offended at all earlier, and I found it a tad funny, and decided to joke about it a bit, bas.
Don't treat everything like it's very important, that's all I ask.
yeh description sun ke laga tu apne room ka nahi kisi bhoot bangle ka description de rahi thi :P
lolz @ hot guys ki kami ! haaan saare HOT GUYS to iit ke baahar hain na ;)
tho i wonder wat ur fellow iit guys will hv 2 say bout this :)
tho im dead sure there r NO HOT GALS IN IIT..arey engg profession mein hi nahi hoti.......actually duniya mein sab kuch relative hota hai....engg mein itni kam ladkiyan hoti hain ki ladkiyan apna comparison ladkon se karti hain aur kehti hain ki we are HOTTER GALS :), arey GUYS r COOOOOOOOOOOOOL always u see......woh to gals ko hi hot hona chahiye..........u see opposites attract ;)
"HOT girls ki kami nahi hai...HOT guys ki hai"
Where is the motivation for guys?
goa and dec....party time...envy u yaar..

@robertfrust

Yes, it's become very cold.

"A PUBLIC DIARY!! Because words are all I have...."
how can u forget the wonderful milking device u sport..thats gods greatest gift to you sweetie...realise its strength and the world will become ur slave...that apart words are only mans creation...so artificial so mundane...
Sweet post kiddo!
Me jealous..You are going to Bombay:(
Baby, want to see snow? There is 4 inches in my place. Wish I could post it to you..I so dont like snow:((((
As i type this sitting in my room, I can see the snow falling and the faint outline of the sea. I will put the photo up on my blog hopefully. maybe it will make you wish that you end up in vancouver next year.
It is 4.5 in Delhi. Minus 2 for the campus and minus 1 for your room (why?)... so it is already 1.5 in your room. Start the fan at full speed and you might have a snow fall within room!
"Water is such a beautiful, sublime gift of Nature"
so true.... and it evokes so much poetry too
Love the new look of ur blog... nice makeover
You changed the link !
Haw !

[ hey no prof stuff this time na .. and lst time u asked for it ]
heres my delhi experience
Delhi's even colder than Jaipur!!
would it be still colder arnd the first week of January? :-p
I hate Delhi, not its weather.
I love Mumbai, not its weather.
I hate Roorkee, and its weather too.
When am I ever going to be in a place I love both ways.
And hey whats the difference between ICE And SNOW?
get over the enssems fast, its good riddance.
Here u lament the absence of snow in dilli.imagine me , having lived for 22 years in delhi , and now having to 'bear' the 'winters' of calcutta which is an insult to any decent winter.it hardly gets chilly here.im still prancing around in my summer tee shirts.though i tell ma on the fone that I am wearing a monkey cap , jacket , thick jeans and socks.and i see my south indian pals go "aiyyo , so cold da !" and think "man , this is cold ? then delhi was an igloo.".sacchi , i miss the delhi sardi , the foggy mornings , the lazing in the sun while munching on peanuts , watching TV sitting cozily in a quilt...and here , the fan still whirrs over me as i type this.delhi , just hang on , im coming over soon.
"study and leave the curse unfinished "
lols
:)),aur kya boloon
Actually, you might not believe this but it is a good thing to leave the comp switched on during the night. It keeps the room sufficiently warm. Not as warm as a heat convector, but decently warm
why shd u envy me yaar..i am in THE pathetic state..neways a hol wid friends is worth anything..am alone her in hyd among hadddus.........now pity me !!
Ey!.. you mentioning water just made me nostalgic.. I live in a place surrounded by the sea on three sides.. :) ( Kerala is not called God's own country for nothing, it has plenty of water!) honestly, lack of water is one reason I hate Delhi. Not listening to the ocean at night, not drenching in the monsoons.. ( the ones in Delhi are fake..)Not jumping into the neighborhood pond... I want to go home.
exams over... mere bhi tumhare bhi :)
the one thing which i dont like...[ infact i hate sometime ] about winter is ... fog and cloud all day. only fog is good... only cloudy will also do.. but both... omg.. u cannot play cricket.. u cannoy enjoy sun... to fir kare kya? yeah ofcourse 12-14 ghante se jyada sona achha nhi lagta
