Hello hello,
“Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.” – John Ruskin
You know what, I am certainly one of those people whose communication either starts with climate. There would be something about the weather in my talks. It’s because I find the weather here so magical and mesmerizing.
I talk about the weather even when I talk to my Mom which is quite often. And my initial question to her has been eternally like this: “How’s the weather there?
" And surprisingly, she always tells me everything in details and after her answer, she continues the conversation with the same question. “How’s the weather there?” And then I tell her about it and then we move on to our regular woman-talk. 🙂
So, guys, the point of mentioning this to you was that I wanted to ask you, “How’s the weather in your part of the world?” 🙂 I know you guys would undoubtedly let me know in the comments, and I also know that you would ask me the same.
So before you ask, I will tell it to you anyway. 🙂
Climate was pretty good during the last two days — sunny and little warm. It was so warm yesterday that little ‘A’ even asked if we could go for a beach picnic, and I said yes to her for the picnic today, without checking the weather forecast.
My bad, now she wouldn’t stop nagging, and I would have to answer her 100s of times, and she won’t stop asking ‘why’ every single time. And to make it up, I would have to bribe her with something she likes.
But hey, I was talking about the weather. Right? So, now it’s cold, dark and rainy again, pretty close to 10°C, and it’s gonna be like this today and tomorrow. Because it’s cold, so I really wanted something healthy and warm for breakfast.
Thus I decided to end up with this healthy, warm and delicious oats in the form of Dhokla.
