Happy Maghe/ Makar Sankranti, Maghi, Pongal, Lohri whatever name you’re celebrating this festival by. And thanks to women and men who make the transition of the sun to Makar rashi an occasion to celebrate,primarily by the preparation of delicacies. Some folks, like me, can do anything for a Kalo Til ko laddu.

Everyone who writes needs a reminder, now and then, of why they started to write in the first place. I for one, always wrote diaries but never naming people or discussing events in detail. Yet, if I went through the pages of my past I can tell who and what exactly I am talking of. Internet replaced paper. The thrill of being unknown and known at the same time was glorious!

Can you can tell whether the days have grown longer or shorter by observing the point of sunset behind the mountains too? I think, I can. I’ve been observing this view for the past 8 years.
Don’t you love this city for itself? I dearly missed these mountains when I was away.
Note to self: Appreciate the view till it lasts
