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...
