No updates on the blog for more than a month’s time. The New Year has begun but I have made no particular resolution. I see people around me taking them and breaking them after a couple of days and I tending to be one of them- if I took a resolution-thought it best to do things without making it a new year resolution.
Towards the end of last year, I got to experience the chill of Europe – literally. The heater, blanket, jacket, socks, gloves etc did no good for me. The worst experience being while I visited the Dachau concentration camp in Munich. My toes and fingers freezed up even after being covered with gloves ,socks and boots and for a moment I thought of giving it up and rushing back home!
The end of the year got me emotional for some god – knows – what reason and while I fell asleep in the early morning of January 1st thinking of the year gone by (this year was eventful in its own way for me – emotionally draining ), I held a small complaint in my heart to God that I couldn’t even see it snow- one of the reasons I wanted to visit Europe in winter – and I was leaving back to Dubai soon.

Later that day as I woke up and dragged myself to the toilet, I did not feel anything. Getting out of the toilet I walked into the kitchen. It was really silent in the house as no one else woke up- I thought of fixing myself a coffee and walked towards the machine that was near the kitchen window. I don’t know what made me look up neither did I understand why I did not notice it earlier ......it was snowing outside – silently. It wasn’t a heavy snow or something but then it looked beautiful and something tugged at my heart. I stood there after that looking out of the window for a very long time- my first snow, my first prayer answered for the year...
