Although it snows rarely at mid November , Paris encounters snow fall weather now.. It is neither icy cold nor opaque.. It is a kind of virgin snow dusting..
And , all I wish is to enjoy this finest weather.. I fastened my steps to the nearby shop .. Hot chocolate and snow fall is actually my favourite combo..And, I am not going to miss this chance anyway..
When I reached the shop , I met one of my students there..
" Hello.. Miss. Suman.. Good evening "
I smiled to his greetings.. " Good Evening Jack .." I wished him back as we both walked to the counter..
Yes !
I work in a training institute to coach one of the regional languages , Tamil.. Actually, it is not a regional language but one can opt to pursue in their elementary as well as in high school education..
Eventually , I teach Tamil in a training institute .. During my leisure time I learn my masters in business in a reputed University ...
Actually , that should be vice versa..!!!
I sit near the french window where I can relish the enthralling view of snow that is drizzling like flakes.. Understanding my private space , Jack bid me adieu..
Pressing the slightly numbed lips , I fold my hands together to pray.. This has been a die hard habit of me which I was practising since my childhood..
What to do? I was born to a strict , conservative parents.. Moreover, offerings to God is good.. You know?
I grab the heavenly tall goblet , towered with layers of waffle in hot chocolate that topped up with a scoop of RajBhog ice cream that blended with all the nuts and saffron.. Yes , I have this weird combination of everything in my Gene..
But , Don' t eat this too often.. You may put on weight! If my mom is here , definitely she won' t be allowing me either ..
" Sumo... When will you grow up? If you become obese ,I swear no one will marry you..!!"
I cluck imagining my mom's template ... But , honestly who cares...
Lucky me ! I am staying alone here!!
Huhhh!!! I can't wait anymore...
I scoop the ice cream portioning with the hot chocolate... stuffing it mouthful , I sigh...
Splendid !!!!
Passing the whole twenty minutes to treat my taste buds , I close my eyes to melt into the flavour that sits in my soul...
I will born again and again for this moment!!!!
I smile cheekily to understand my craziness...
That's all for today...!!
I get up , pulling up the fur coat until chin.. while I move to the lane , the road seems to be haunted...
Although fear hits a bit , my madness surges up surpassing the scare..
I stand at the side walk for a moment ... Making it sure that no one is noticing me , I get ready to perform my childish act...
I take in deep breath as much as I can... Holding the breath for few seconds , slowly I let out the breath pursing my lips...
Clenching my eyes I enjoy the collision of my warm breath with the cold atmospheric air...
I repeat it twice.... Thrice.... Until I get convinced...
When I open my eyes , I jump back in shock to see him beside me...
