The town enveloped in a sheet of serene white...the clouds so dense that they have hidden the mighty Himalayas behind them....snow falling continuously like tufts of cotton on the already white ground....couples walking around, cuddled under colorful umbrellas....my first snow fall :)....like someone said that its something that one never forgets :)
But for the restless me snowfall is kinda dull when you compare it to rainfall....it makes one lazy, reluctant to leave the bed and the cozy blanket...whereas rain! Rain propels you to leave the confines of your room, go out, and dance! Don't get me wrong....I had my fair share of snow ball fights and snow-man making but then how long can one go on doing that? Snow, no doubt one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen, somehow makes everything come to a standstill...great if you are on a vacation like I was but I'm not too sure otherwise....whereas rain, however long and hard it might rain, life goes on...Mumbai will agree with me here...and Delhi, the city which moves to India Gate every time there is an unscheduled rainfall, will nod too ;)
Anyway, maybe it was just that while it was snowing in Manali, Delhi was playing hostess to rains. And well, some of my closest ones were there at that time, preventing me from appreciating nature's creation of snow....ah! the ways in which the mind works...
