The Winter Tag!!! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!
I am not into tag posts that much, but now this is my second tag post in a row, coz' I love the topics and unique questions, which doesn't only let other people to know you closer, but also give you an opportunity to take a deep look into yourself. So here we go my "Winter Tag". Read More to Reveal More!!!
I am really grateful to Fatema Sajwani from MSDesignerwear Blog for not only tagging me but actually starting this tag post in our blogging circle. I Love Winter seasons, can't enjoy them now the way I used to be but still the memories from past, the cozy winter warmth, at night sleeping with my NANO (granny) in her quilt and in the morning I was always found from my Nana abbu's (Grandpa) quilt :p, munching all the nuts while sitting in a quilt, with only light of a gas-heater and passing the time of load shedding. fighting with my young khala and Mamu (maternal uncle & aunt) when they tried to snatch my peeled dry nuts, and sometime I robbed them off theirs. Playing Luddo and indoor games. The sound of GARAM ANDAY! (hot boiled eggs) by a street vendor from the dark lonely winter streets, still thrills and chills me, and I always asked my Nano , "Amijan! iska koi ghar nahi, iski Maa kaha hey, yeh itni sardi me bahir kyu phir raha hey?" (Why is he in the streets at this hour of night when he should be at home?) Wearing a bundle of sweaters and playing in the foggy streets with neighbor kids. Loved the bike's chilled ride with my uncles, who used to hide and zip me in their warm jackets for extra safety lolz they never went out even to their friends without me so I was a must company with them, whatever the weather may lolz. My favourite street food used to be "Laddo pheeti walay" I loved them without chatni and radish garnishing. My Nano made us Gajraila, gajar ka halwa and many sweet delicacies. No soups or coffees at that time, these I started making later when I became addicted to them. uff! Winter reminds me of my chilled childhood, but still very cozy full of warmth of few loving people around me. My idea of Winter enjoyment was that of any young girl, sipping coffee and strolling out in a foggy evenings, or just sitting on the edge of roof top, wrapped in a warm shawl and watching the limitless skies, humming favourite tunes, some sad tunes. One more thing I loved doing but can't mention here :p Winter season is so close to my heart, can't enjoy it the way I used to but no complains at all, as I enjoyed them as a child, as a young girl and now as a Home maker I enjoy by making soups, sweets and coffee for my family. ALHAMDOLILLAH!

There was a time when all my cousins came to my home begging me to make them coffee, lolz. I love tea, but that I love in summer too. Kasmiri chae!
