It is that beautiful winter in Delhi - just beginning. The Raat ki Raani flowers are spewing perfume, the air is cold and fresh in morning, - today, I saw an auto rickshaw with 6 kids - all uniformly red and then one lad wearing a Ravana Moustache and a flash gorden pink pastel mask - and completely at ease. At Ram mandir near the house, the Dushera celebrations have begun - Time also for people to stuff themselves silly (in terms of calories) in the name of "fast". I love these winters. Indian Classical Music festival begins at Kamani tomorrow - imagine the Winter chill walk to Metro at 10 pm after getting treated to the melodious Jugalbindi of Pt.Shiv and Hari ji..all the world getting colder and being warmed slowly to the roasting taste of their flutes and Santoor - the magical realism of winter in Delhi..
Apart from the concerts at Kamani (haven't ever been to), can vividly picture and identify with all that you speak of. Delhi Winters, especially the month of October is something that I really miss and feel quite nostalgic about. It brings back so many wonderful warm (yes, even in Winter) memories. Thank you!
