My precious!!! 

Don't you dare eye my drink!!! 

The warm days of summer are long gone... 

The first snow

Hey..Today we had the first snow of the season! yippeee!!! Well, technically we had snow in the last week of October too, but that was very mild. It was a nice feeling, waking up in the morning and then looking out to find everything blanketed by a layer of snow...and the cotton like snow flakes drifting down from the sky. The first snow almost has a magical feel to it.

I will never forget the first snow of my life. I don't remember the exact date, but I am guessing that it was probably 13th December, 2004 or its whereabouts coz the next day I had my first finals of the Fall term. It was early evening...arounf 7-ish, and Prshant called me up from Jersey to say that its snowing!! Now, I was obviously very excited and rushed outside the buidling. At that time I was living at 503W 121st Street Apartment. The streets were kind of dimly lit, and I saw some people scurrying about in the streets. Then I looked up and around me, and saw the snow flakes. It appeared as if the world was moving in slow motion. The snow flakes come down real slowly and if there's nothing else happening in the vicinity, it does seem like the everything has slowed down, like in the movies.

I took a few snaps today....have a look (you probably have already, but anyway). The top left is yours truly standing outside the back entrance of my house. The top right photo shows the green line "E" train (it's a tram for all practical purposes but is a part of the subway "T" system in Boston) . The bottom left is the view we get from out house of the park in front. The bottom right are the railway tracks at the Northeastern T stop.

That's all for today....signing off
