WINTER : A Goodbye from a lover. 

Of all seasons , that come and go , winter remains closest to the heart. It is so cold in nature, and may be, that is why I feel so warm in it. Paradoxical ain't it ?? Well let me explain....

TOWNS AND VILLAGES TURN INTO WHITE LANDS OF MAGIC.

From a Himalayan dwellers point of view. Winter in Himalayas means the season of forced vacation in Mountains. The mountain towns and villages change into bitter cold kingdoms , where survival can be challenging.
But thanks to God , the people though facing that challenge get to spend a good time with their families.
What happens is , the people know that during winter all work and daily life comes to a halt , hence , for the past months they keep gathering livestock , fuel and all that is necessary to spend the the long winters. When it finally arrives , schools are shut down , markets closed , all people dwelling around with their day to day jobs come back home for 60 - 90 days of hard winter.
So if you are a Himalayan local you would end up in your cute home amidst snow and chill , warming and getting utmost love and care from your family. You have no work to do basically other than loving your closest ones and chat around may be with the neighbour and friends.

Winter means home time and gathering a lot of firewood.

So if you are a Himalayan local you would end up in your cute home amidst snow and chill , warming and getting utmost love and care from your family. You have no work to do basically other than loving your closest ones and chat around may be with the neighbour and friends.
This is why the Himalayan people are so warm and welcoming for they are every year loved and cared for infinitely from their families. The winter is a blessing which keeps the family close and love replenished year after year. It would be great if we faced such harsh winter everywhere , for that cold is needed for the warmth of love. Don't you think so ???

Winter has its own colours.

Winter is most probably the most beautiful season to behold , and I repeat it , more beautiful that spring, at least to me. Mountains turn white with snow , trees turn yellow and orange. Winter has it's own Hue and colours. The barren branches give a eerie feeling but it has it's own pretty scenes lurking through what is left in harsh winter.
It is also a matter , that only those who are truly able to withstand the cold and uncomfort, are the only ones who are able to witness it.
So in a way, winter chooses it's own appreciators and devotees.

Experiencing snowfall is indeed Magic.

Winter means the season of snowfall and every year , it touches the lives of millions experiencing their life's first snowfall.
If you have not witnessed snowfall you won't understand or value what it means, just reading this or watching a picture. I shall pray this winter you do Experience it and not give away the chance.
Even for people who have seen it times and again such as me , still there is a freshness and something different with every snowfall that comes. For a adventurer , the moment of snowfall is like the birth of a new soul , an accomplishment of life and a celebration of our existence. The magic is unsubstituted by any other natural Experience one can have and definitely is the best of Winter season.

Winter is the true season of adventure. I have been an ardent fan and lover of winter. For winter means a deep logic to me and my existence.
In a lot of poems , winter with its dried and shedding of leaves , has been enacted or imaged as death.
And that is exactly why , it is so beautiful.
Death is after all nothing but the the necessity to be reborn. And as death , winter takes away with it all that is sad , broken or grieving , gifting a new opportunity to nature to build it all over once again with something better.
And so it does to everyone. It gives the hope to wash away all that could not be for a season, and gives opportunity to try again and start fresh.
When we celebrate new year , no matter how bad the year went , we are filled with new hope , courage and faith. It isn't just a coincidence that the new year and winter come together , is it ?? So as the winter for this year has started, I hope you take this time in replenishing yourself like nature. Take a journey , take a Adventure, and let the white season take away all the pain of the dreaded past few months.
