The first snow...

I was walking down Forbes Avenue towards the main campus, completely flustered about an upcoming mid term examination in a rather difficult course. I was sure I was not going to do well and it would pull my grades down. The smile had been wiped off my face. I had just spoken to my father and was feeling bad that I couldn't wish him "Happy Birthday" at 12 am sharp IST.


Suddenly I felt something cold landing on my lip. Confused, I looked up. And there it was! Snow flakes descending from the grey overcast skies above... all around me. It was a beautiful sight. Just a flurry... some random snow flakes here and there. I looked around completely mesmerised. I forgot that I had been worried about an examination. Suddenly I looked at my watch and realised I had to reach within the next 8 minutes... Increased my speed but kept looking around every now and then. But now there was a huge smile on my face...


This is what the first snow can do to you....
