The Ides of December!

Normally that should read as the 'Ides of March' , but with all that has happened to me in the last few days, I think that this is much more appropriate. Well, first of all, I ended up getting a cold and that lasted me almost a week.Imagine feeling sluggish and tired all the time and with lobs of yuck hanging down from your nose. That is what happened to me. The doctor told me that it was a result of all this varying temperatures that has brought up the cold.
Anyway, a week later, the cold went away and I thought that I was fine, I should know better than to predict my future. Believe it or not, just 3 days after my cold went away, actually it was 5 days, I ended up getting a viral fever. The doctor told me that the Cold sort of prepared my body for the arrival of the royal highness the 'viral fever'. So now, I feel like that I have been run over by a 10 ten truck, again and again and again........
Anyway I am starting to feel a little bit better now days and hope that I can regain the full usage of my body very soon at that. Have a nice Ides of December, folks!

The Cold blues!

Cold is as Cold does, it sends shivers up and down your spine and I have to say that as spine chilling as it does sound, there is nothing worse than being caught out in the blizzard with the temperatures plummeting down from a comfortable zone of 20 to -5 Celsius. The chill has already started with the mean average temperatures of many places in the Northern hemisphere coming down by quite a notch.

Here in India, the northerly cold winds have started blowing hard and cold, causing mists and fog as the cold north air meets the warm southerly winds. The key is always to get out of the cold weather ASAP until and unless you want to miss out a few toes and fingers while you are at it. The one thing that is great about the cold weather is that you will love the sunshine would love nothing better than to just lay out there in the hot sun and let the sunshine work its magic on you and your chilled bones. After all the hot and monsoon weather that one has been having in India, you would think that we would love this weather, but the Cold weather brings its own share of problems and each and every year it ends up killing hundreds of homeless people who succumb to it due to lack of proper shelter. They often go to sleep in the night and just freeze over, and pass away. The tip as far as cold weather goes is to get out of it as fast as you can because in the coming months, the weather is bound to get a whole lot more than just 'nippy'. You can heat yourself in front of a fire, or if you do not have the proper shelter, then there are many homes all over northern India that have been given the orders to open its doors to the homeless of Northern India. As it is, every season brings its own joy and sorrows, so it is up to each and every person as to whether they want to welcome this season with a smile or with a frown, I prefer the former.
