Winter..... brrrrr!!
I have always absolutely hated winter... why... coz I can't handle it! Needed sweaters and socks on all the time. When I moved from Hyderabad to Bangalore... it really really was tough. South Africa.. well that was another story.. no central heating, temperatures drop from a 22c to a 1c by night!! so what did I do? wore sweaters and socks.. and piled on warm blankets.. sat on the carpet surrounded by 2 heaters and still went brrrrrrrrr!
So, from a 40c of Hyderabad to a 35 sweaty c of Chennai and a 30c pleasant of Bangalore... the -20c of Toronto is definitely a nightmare!!!
I was absolutely terrified of the winter before I got to Canada. Scary stories were all over the internet! well.... they were quite true... :) atleast for a cold fearing me! :)
I also have to admit... its been an experience:
1. My first snowfall :) it's an amazing sight... all the soft snow ... perched over rooftops, the leafless trees,
2. Watching little kids all dressed up.. looking more adorable than ever.. but loving the snow :)
3. Learning to dress in layers and layers... and not minding the humpty dumpty look :) (that's just me... oh people here are so fashionable even in winter clothes) and yes.. wear snow boots :) long warm heavy :)
4. Getting out in that cold... learning to take small steps, so that we do not fall or slip on "black ice"
It is scary freezing cold...yea the flu also comes by (did learn, take a flu shot!!!)....
I never ever wanted to be in such a cold place but I believe my destiny brought me here :) to face my fear and deal with it... :) was super tough.. but I think I am dealing with it :) quite decently!
Hopefully, I will deal with all my other fears too :) One in progress... more to face!
