Wallowing winters - Sneha and Mahesh

Imagine: Waking up on winter morning, with your face peeking into the cold while the rest of you snuggled comfortably beneath a pile of blankets and looking out of the window at the breathtaking snow cast exterior!!!

Thanks to a beautiful, cosy winter, some fortunate beings get to live such an experience and some left envisioning about it thanks to the seasonal heterogeneity on our planet.

Let's find out who all from our television fraternity have enjoyed this time of the year and who haven't (if any!).

I hail from Delhi and my mother's still based there so I know the flavour of the season. Frankly speaking I miss winters to the extent that after Diwali I go into a depression. I miss wearing my jackets and sweaters, sitting in the sun eating fruits. It's funny but I have seen in Mumbai that thodi si thand padh gayi and they behave as if there's snowfall. Even in the ac, they complain of cold! And my wife is one of them I miss the piping hot parathas and hot beverages, which one can relish in actual winters.

I love winters but where do we get to enjoy it in Mumbai? I remember spending nearly a month in Delhi during this season when there was ice rain! It was very memorable. Ironically I have never seen snow in my life and I have an intrinsic desire to visit a place full of snow! And this hope surges when I go through the pictures sent by my friends who belong to snowcapped countries. I have been abroad a couple of times but not during winter.

I love winters but only when I'm abroad. If we go through such winters in Mumbai I'll need to hoard lots of extra clothes and once the season ends, storage and maintenance becomes a big issue! I will have to keep a track of the winter trends and that would be too taxing! So it's good the way it is for this metropolitan.

Sampada Vaze


Oh how I love winters! I've spent four years studying in Kalimpong, near Darjleeing, the same place where Danny Denzgapa hails. Winters makes one feel peaceful especially when you experience cold air. When I came down to Mumbai I was surprised to see what people call this season 'winter'. There the temperature would keep hanging on five degrees or less! I have stocked good winter clothes, which I can't wear here. Two years back I had the most cherishable Xmas winter in the Swiss Alps.

I have been born and brought up in Delhi and needless to say I miss the Delhi winters. If in Mumbai we have the same extremity in weather I would get to wear a variety of clothes- from pullovers to jackets and one could also eat well. Mumbai would be as good as London if we have such winters here.
