in Zürich

A few days back I experienced the first snow of the season. And I came to know, snowfall happened a tad earlier this year than normal... nevertheless, I enjoyed the white-cotton snowfall immensely. Well, its not that I did not encounter a anything like that earlier... I came across this when I came here early this year, but there is a special place for the season's first in everybody's heart.. so is this :). I still remember the first rainfall in Hyderabad after a sweltering heat several years back, when I went there for a short assignment... the summer temperature had touched 48 degrees and I was dancing like a peacock in the balcony of our hotel in the rain...... such is the charm of a first experience. The plants have almost completed their formality of shedding their leaves but the real cold is still to set in... and I already have a few maple leaves in my possession, by public demand :) (considering they are not found back home). Its an indication of a cold winter in the wings..... not that I dont like cold winter, its just that being in India, its hard to have a real cold winter ;)! The next few days (and months) is going to be really exciting, looking at the celebration we have next month. Switzerland is getting all decked up for the coming celebrations... I hope to have a real good time with the close ones, enjoying their warmth in the 'not used to' cold :).

Here... take a look at the serene road after the first snow in the dawn....... isnt it great?

And there is a good news for enthusiasts who would like to venture outside Switzerland without a visa... its looks that its going to be a reality with Switzerland coming into Schenghen countries... however, I feel this is bad news for those from UK who can make it without any visa here :(, they need to have a visa in future! You see, it always works this way, whats good for one person may not necessarily be good for the other..... so my friends in UK, who wants to make a trip here have to make it reeeeeeal fast ;-)!!

I am waiting......... ..... ..
