God, I love the winters.
Living in a city like Mumbai, where cotton clothes-sunglasses-sunscreen are the holy trinity for existence, experiencing winters is a pleasure!
Not only do I get to pull out sweaters from old forgotten suitcases, drinking hot coffee & chai by the gallon is perfectly acceptable. You aren’t scorned for carrying around a lip balm everywhere, socks can be worn throughout the day. Cozy is how this entire season makes us feel!
I will prefer not getting into the horrid tails of pulling yourself off the bed on cold winter mornings, but would rather focus on the fact (Something I haven’t been able to get over for the last few weeks) that the local markets are gorgeous. I see happy vegetables, be them bright red chillies or plump sweet potatoes, fresh turmeric or plump pristine white cauliflowers.
I spotted kiwis a few days ago and new I had to work it in the Spinach Smoothie Special!
What better way to have them, if not with strawberries (Also another gift of this blessed season!).
