Bringing in February


2008 zoomed in at its chilliest best, complete with fog, delayed airline timings, and misty breaths. And before you had even realized it, January was over, bowing out gracefully to the breezily-entering February, this time with an extra day thrown in for good luck. Love also promises to be in the air, what with a certain Saint of love making certain that Cupid-struck couples whisper sweet nothings into each other’s ears. Hear hear!

The nip in the air remains unabated though, ensuring that woollens this year cannot be bidden goodbye. At least, not yet. National Met Offices are indulging in the newest sport - a guess-when-would-Delhi-touch-zero-degrees game.

Having declared the first day of February as THE day when the temperature would hit rock-bottom, Delhiites were surprised to wake up to a sunny day. Sometimes even Met Departments don’t have the “foggiest” clue how it would be (pun intended)!

Keeping this post short. The unmistakable nip in the air is what I shall hold totally responsible for my sluggishness, and my reaching out for piping hot coffee rather than my keypad.

Brrrr. But welcome February :-)
