And it snowed

A week of beautiful sunshine suddenly turned overcast. The temperature has been dropping rather steadily for a while now.

I noticed it was not just overcast anymore. I looked up and it seemed as if a million little droplets had suddenly become lazy and wanted to take their own sweet time while coming down. I extended my hand cautiously and I saw tiny little white snowflakes spotting my hand and disappearing. Their sudden disappearance reminded me of dew drops on cold winter mornings back at home. I was lucky to be outside just when it started.

Heavenly…

P.S.Darn I miss a camera again. First thing done after that: google what to do when it snows

View again

The eastern sky is not red yet. The clouds have receded from the mountains and I see quite a bit of snow at the top. A plains towards the north are covered with mist…The sky is blue instead of the dull grey with patches of heavy water laden clouds spread everywhere. Ah today should be good.

 

Visa Application

I applied for US Visa recently. Quite interesting. A 3 page form asking you a million times whether  you are a terrorist. Trust me,that was not the bad part. So I had an appointment at 11. Not being a morning person I struggled to reach on time, skipping a class, breakfast etc. There was quite a queue outside the building. In about half an hour, they finally started letting people in. A pretty little girl who came after me went up to the security and sweetly said, “you know its a bit cold here”(it was freezing).  Darn I miss a Camera again.The batting of the eyelids, the rosiness of her cheeks, she was in, in a jiffy, while we were left at nature’s mercy. It reminded me of those Night clubs at Robson on Saturday Nights. Not having a female security personelle I had to wait the whole time. I entered the building at 12:30. I finally had my chance to get interviewed at 3. In the meanwhile, the security guy dropped by. I was strolling around the waiting area. He wickedly mentioned “I just had my lunch” and started laughing.. Ahh this was surely his day. Thankfully I had people around to talk to; There was this couple from the Alaska Border and another fellow from Iran. We happily slammed the system together. Cursing someone is always a nice way to make a conversation .

I will get my Visa on the Friday. After all the War and all the Glory I am happy.

Fireworks

‘Almost’ Burnt the Microwave and set the fire alarm going. Thankfully managed to avert a disaster and saved the microwave by some quick thinking.

Darn I Wish I had a camera (again).

Quote of the day

I call it trivial after I have done it.

Mathematics(to be updated as the author grows up …)

Advantages of being in Mathematics:
1) You can always claim that you are on an indefinite ‘Holiday’.
Disadvantages of being in Mathematics:
1) You can never have your ‘Holiday’

Transport system

Did I go to school on an elephant? Good one. Let me think about it…

Dawn

Its dawn and not a cloud in sight. Downtown glitters as a web of lights. The morning stars shine on with all their prominence. Suddenly the eastern horizon is set to fire and the tinge of red slowly diffuses across the sky killing the dull grey of the night. The mountains as if join the celebration, however the old and wise, lonesome one is not to be seen for obvious reasons. A lone some clouds floats across one of the small hills.The other corner of the world has not quite got the news till now. The sea looks dark and dusky, a stark contrast to the eastern horizon and the stars still shine without any worry up in the western sky.

View

Its 10 in the morning but the sky is dull and grey. I look North and I see the mountains and Downtown trying inch towards them. At a distance I see a snow capped mountain probably too old and wise to stand along with the others. I look west and I admire the sea. Dark and blue, it looks serene, as if at peace.   Suddenly far away, the clouds separate. A chamber of light lightens up the Chosen Spot while its neighbours glare at envy…

Darn I miss a Camera.
