So, it is November at Kolkata (and everywhere else of course).
The time when the sun at noon is sultry but pleasant in the morning. When you wake up with a sore throat and slight headache for the incessantly revolving fan and since your laziness prevents you to pull the 'chador' on. The winter garments are not out yet the bed-sheet-replacing-blankets are many. The wait for 13th and Jab Tak Hain Jaan's release (no byaka mukh now) continues and so does the typical winter smell in the dry wind that has started to blow during the afternoon. The mothers go crazy on olive oil and body lotion. 'Komola Lebu' fills in the fruit basket and one gets the luxury of keeping the hair open at all times of the day without sweat (except for the soon-to-become-bald ones like me who have just a few of them left on the scalp).
Last good days before the shanghtik sheetkal (terrible winter) sets in post Kaali Pujo. Hibernation will soon start. How I hate winter :(
Till then, enjoy!
P.S. Did I mention sem :(

BTW all the best for the sem! I guess Abhro will treat it as a continuation of the festivities and end up with marks as big as a roshogolla :(
