Jashne Sardi
the nip in the air,
the days growing short
the cuddles more urgent
the kisses more frequent
the fragrance of harshingar
the urges for a cup of coffee
the crawling into the other’s grooves
the slipping of a hand into the shirt
the open air dining in the chill
the hot kebabs and shawarmas
the happiness of being together
the return of memories pleasant
the appearance of the favourite razai
the early morning fog
the endless cups of steaming tea
the breathe which steams as it streams
Know what it means?
Winter is here!!!

I adore sardi,
I love sardi...
Yipee Sardi is here.
Thank you for re-counting all the blessings of Sardi.
to digress a bit... when anyone from delhi says "winters", i r'ber amrita arora dancing to "dilli ki sardi"... :D
I also remember the streets where
people of all faith used to sit around the fire in the morning hours with all those gup shups.
and i do not want to forget that damn hari dhania ki chatni with garam garam moomphali!!!!!!!!!!!
yade mazi (past) kuch ajeeb ha ya rab

winter is here n m loving it:-)
i miss the Delhi winters . . . not bathing for 31 days and then braving it one Sunday, together . . . the late mornings . . . the ride to the Tibetan camp every Sunday for momos . . .
we will head back to Delhi soon . . . because in my dreams I have headed back numerous times . . .
