Imagine the state of a person always used to a tee and jeans or a hassle-free sleeveless dress thrown into a climate which makes your bones chill! That disastrous person would be me!
Now I can’t keep my palms alive without this thick, fat black ugly gloves and a jumper with fake fur on it! And does that make me resemble a picture of the worst fashion victim? Well, it’s not that bad, not even close; but all said and done, it’s freezing where I fatefully live and I do not know what’s going to happen to this poor soul (read:me!) when, as my colleagues mention, the real winter hits. I can’t even imagine!
A friend of mine wrote on an ever-so-popular social networking site (Facebook! and I still can’t gauge what is the hullabaloo over it all about!) that I should not fight the cold, but “shizzle” with cognac. Now, that’s a thought! …But hey, do you honestly think that mere cognac can allow me to wear my 2-piece and show off my non-existent abs (it isn’t that bad!) on a night that reads 2 degrees on the thermometer. No amount of alcohol can control my body temperature for certain!
To be honest, I never knew that life could be so cold and dark at 3 pm! That’s the time when I would always stay put inside my office, just so that I don’t have to bear the scorching sun and amazing sunlight. At times, I really miss the sun in London. It feels like midnight when it’s 5pm and that to me is still quite eerie!
However, to every dark cloud, there’s a silver lining. So on certain fateful days when the Sun God feels rather merciful, He shows up, like it was today and I went for a walk by the canal and across the park just around the corner.
And yes, if you have something to cuddle and sleep with a heater that warms your room aside, things couldn’t be more blissful…for me, it is!
