My Summer Loves :)
As a kid,I could never understand the poem "Shall I Compare Thee To A Summers Day " . I kept wondering,what came in Shakespeare's mind to compare his beloved's beauty to a summers's day. Obviously I had no idea summers in England are cool and pleasant. But back in our beloved motherland, you say summer and I am reminded of heat,sweat,sun tans,umbrellas,scarfs,sunblock...blah..blah..blah. So much so that I even feel like choosing my clothes and footwear on the basis of SPF they contain ;) Funny but that's the sorry state of summers in India,more so if you are a Homo Sapien and choose North India as your Habitat. But summers are not just about scorching heat and considering we are brand ambassadors of Positive Thinking and quite adept in finding a silver line behind dark clouds,we do find our ways of beating the summer sun. The rising mercury has its own fair share of beauty in the form of pastels,flowing chiffons,cool ice-creams,peachy cheeks,coral lip...
