Nippy Morning

It was a little nippy in the morning

There was a distinct nip in the air this morning. Gone are the days of heat and humidity, relentless rains, of dampness and dripping sweat. Like many others in the Garden, Shekhawat has started wearing a jacket.

Clearly, winter is fast approaching.
In such weather, nothing could have been any more welcome than the cup of hot tea that Geeta Latte got us this morning. She had also brought us oven-fresh biscuits, as did Fehmida Khan separately. On top, there was Rakhee Bansi treating us to chocolate bars to celebrate her new acquisition – an apartment in the same complex where Bijoy Gupta stays.
These days, half the group breaks away for the ‘rehearsals’ (ref previous post) well before the exercises are over. Of the remaining, half would be preparing for their ‘yoga classes’. What we are thus left with is barely half a dozen miserable souls who have nowhere to go, but to dutifully wrap up the exercises and head home quietly.

Those left behind to wrap up the exercises

Warning: Winter is coming. Do come properly dressed. No sleeveless tops/ shirts and no half pants.
