Some People Like Winter And Some Don’t-‘Part-II’.
Come December-the piercing cold and the record low temperature affects the normal course of one’s daily living. People wear the inners and even the heavier-woolens for saving themselves from the biting cold. Delhi experiences single-digit or even minus temperature as the minimum daily temperature starting from December onwards and becomes lowest in the January and February months.
Some people don’t like such a cold climate since it bothers the daily functioning and even the days being very short-affects the daily works to a greater extent. I am also one of those people who does not like the winters at all. Summers are the best season since we get the long days and even the productivity during summers is the maximum.
I have even been in minus temperatures of Srinagar and that too when the snowfall was there. Have experienced the biting cold of minus temperature continuously for days together but have not liked the same. One reason for that has been my body showing the signs of various problems like the URTI and throat-related problems getting aggravated during the intense cold temperature there.
They say- “Seasons Are always severely overrated”. I for sure have the following reasons for hating the Winters comprehensively: –
a) When you wake up in the morning and you know it is cold outside, you have an overwhelming feeling. So, spend more time in bed than you should, hug your comforter tightly, for the life of you.
b) You want to complain mercilessly about the length of the season. I mean, you can’t change the weather, you can just keep talking out loud about how you don’t like the cold.
c) When the weather is so cold that you cannot feel your face, you will start a panic attack because you are sure that if you do not enter the room as soon as possible, you will freeze.
d) When you have a necessary itch, you need to scratch, but countless clothes have to be removed to reach it. So, you worry about how to get to that place.
e) I feel like I have an illness that makes you want to snuggle, snuggle, and drink tea all day. Forget about work, friends, and family. All he cares about is staying where he is and bundling up.
f) I want to cancel almost all meetings, appointments, and appointments that require you to leave. Especially when it means going out multiple times during the day.
g) The extreme happiness you feel when you think you have somewhere to go but someone cancels you. Now you don’t have to face the torture of winter for a while.
h) When the cold comes, your endless feeling as a person will go into a kind of hibernation, a kind of emotional hibernation. And “you” won’t be back until spring.
The above were the various feelings attached to my not liking winter at all. Besides this whenever I had been out in the snow working with my colleagues in the field job I had always a very envious type of feeling since I used to get drenched with the snow-fully and that was to get as soon as possible into the warm hotel room and change my clothes immediately to retire into the electric blanket. This used to happen with me either in Srinagar or in Shimla, while I had to work in the field almost every day. Another thing that used to keep me not fully satisfied was the level of work which we used to extract from those short days of winter. It used to be the minimum one.
Now a very important question why I prefer Summers to Winter and the reasons are such that one would easily get convinced on logical and genuine grounds. Following are the various summarised points which give the clear picture why I don’t like Winters at all: –
We have lesser sunlight in winters-which is also very weak and not the straight rays falling. Whereas in summers we have straight and direct strong sunlight falling in summers for the longer durations. The sunlight makes you happy. Sunlight makes your brain produce more serotonin; a chemical that makes you feel happy. All this detail simply means that one can be happier in summers than in winters.
Winter is when snow and ice make driving more difficult and dangerous. The road becomes very slippery with icing and sleet, making it more difficult to walk on it.
For Students- ‘Summer vacation is longer than winter vacation’. As the school year ends, you have 2 months to relax in an environment without homework. Winter vacation does not allow you to enjoy this luxury and gives you a trivial two and a half weeks’ vacation.
You will get more vitamin D in the summer. Vitamin D is an important vitamin that everyone needs, mainly from sunlight. As the summer sun increases, your body will get more in the summer.
Heating wastes less water in summer. In winter, you take a lot of hot baths. Because of this, you will end up wasting more energy than in the summer.
Speaking of clothes, you spend less in summer. There is a price to wear 3 layers.
Summer is a good time for farmers. Summer is not only sunny but also rainy. Both things mean farmers can get a better harvest. This is important because these people are the ones who grow food for you.
There are more fruits in summer than in winter. Blueberries, strawberries, cherries, watermelons, and apricots are just a few examples of seasonal fruits in summer, but not in winter.
Summer is the movie season. Because of the summer vacation, everyone has a lot of time to do things. Therefore, for filmmakers and us, summer is the best time to show movies.
You can go to the beach in the summer. Or if you feel less fancy, you can swim outside. You can go to an indoor heated swimming pool, but the price will go up in winter, you know!
For sunbathing, summer is better than winter because you can spend more time outdoors. Take advantage of the hot summer to breathe fresh air, whether it’s dining outdoors, walking, or going to the beach.
As mentioned above-normally for any outdoor work, I have to get dressed up in layers to cover up my body from the piercing cold and that is an awesome process. Further going out and driving during the frostbite season always brings a lot of discomforts and a bigger challenge to brave that out. I would rather love to be in Summer-where dressing up is no challenge and comfort is the only way to live the summers our way. So, summers are always welcome no matter if the temperature exceeds my expectations even.
Finally, to conclude- “WINTER-It sucks”.
