  20. loved the poem .. yeah ,I too love winter for all the reasons above comment has stated 🙂 and more … can’t help reading 😛

    Your lines, specially the second one paints a winter night image complete with warm quilt and cold cheeks…
    to me ,’sharp and shrill’ portrayed the cold sharp winter night-wind making shrill sounds …
    and the ‘memories caught, plethora of thoughts ‘ mirrored the time we (Mom and me ) had, when night used to settle early wirh no electricity so no tv,books, mobiles…,nothing to do and she used to knit in dark , sitting near me in bed .. while I used to lie down , ‘plethora of thoughts’ crossing my mind ……. simply feeling the cold .
    So its a perfect picture , beautiful and nostalgic for me 🙂

    • You’ve explained and weaved your thoughts so beautifully Kokila, and thereby have reminded me of those days too…load-shedding …those chilly nights..me and my sister gossiping under the quilt and Maa scolding us for being awake so late 😀
      Thanks dear for such a lovely comment 🙂 ❤

      • Hehe….load-shedding was a great excuse to get rid of the daily studies. Baba said, “no need to read or write in candle night…not healthy for your eyesight”…maa used to groan but was a joyous moment for us 😛 😀

  21. Beautiful words. Winter nights are very dark and deep. I remember college when I used to go out with friends on winter nights. It’s a bit scary too.

    Brace yourselves, winter’s here. (GOT)

    Cheers!

  22. Winter nights, so cozy and of course the winter morning, the aroma of coffee/tea, every season has it’s charm but winter has its magic…the snow capped mountains, the snowfall, the variegated flowers at its cheerful best, there is warmth in the cold of winter, that is the mystical power of winter season…just love it.
    Lovely thoughts and a nostalgic picture…

      • It was so magnetic, it called for such beautiful description…you deserve it.

        Very interesting question, perhaps you have gone on my name or look, I suppose. By the way I am basically from Cuttack, Orissa moved across India and settled in Hyderabad…

        For you information, what an irony, being so close to Kolkatta, only this year for the first time I visited Kolkatta for my Book Launch in International Book Fair…
