Gray
The gray returned today, with an obscure sun casting feeble shadows which paled with passing afternoon. The flowers of the sourgrass remained closed all day. Evening's chilly air is dense, and scented with impending rain. Still, the birds are chirping, getting on with the business of spring, building nests and finding mates. I weave my moods out of what nature provides, the active recipient of passive gifts. Each of these days is not like the other. I feel like grass waiting to be watered.

how are your parents? how are you? spring must have set in and brought you more cheerful things to think about.
i got married on January 25th 2003 and went for a hoenymoon to singapore, cruise and malaysia. was great fun and then i shifted to delhi to be with my husband. very different city. but am settling down slowly.

My parents are still getting along reasonably well, thanks. My mother is actually getting up and moving through the house several times a day, now, and even going outdoors for a while on the warmer days.
The springtime is definitely here, with fresh leaves on all the trees, blooming flowers, and long evenings. (I guess that in most of India, the relative length of day and night doesn't change as much through the year as it does this far from the equator. Here, after the long, dark nights of winter, the bright evenings of spring are a great relief.)
I hope you are becoming accustomed to Delhi. It must seem like a very old-fashioned place, compared to Mumbai.
And no seashore. :-(
But then, the Himalayas are near Delhi, aren't they? There must be some lovely spots to visit there. :-)
Re:
good to hear that your parents are doing better.
and no the length of days and night do not differ much for us. even the winters and summers are not very harsh in mumbai. but delhi is extreme in winters and summers.
yeah and himalayas are very close from delhi and i am going to go for lovely weekends into himalayas with my husband and friends often enough.
i am really excited about that part.
