Toronto, Rain, Snow
It rained here in Toronto and I was like - Where is the chai and the samosas?! I have still to get that excited about hot chocolate moments.
But when I wake up and it has snowed overnight its beautiful. All the leaves are bent with lumps of slushy snow on them. I could put a straw into Toronto and slurrp it all up!
I am here as an exchange student. So that makes it 4 months in Canada.
After college here, I have to do an internship for 4 months from Jan to April 08 and then I graduate.
Geez..man..getting to the end of the road in school or college always takes ages, especially the last bit of the run.
Everyone has been talking of how cold it gets in Canada, but trust me, India is a colder place.
Its snowing here in Toronto, the temperature is in minus degrees celsius but all the central heating makes it imperceptible.
Its in india that you get into your bed with socks and topi and razai and a glowing heater 5 ft away and still feel cold. Now thats winter!
Include freezing to death in autorickshaws, especially for the 6:00 a.m shatabdi! ![]()
And the sadistic school admin in Lucknow, which made us wear pretty schoolgirl tunics and socks in winter.
