Winters and Laziness

Day 331 / 366

It has finally started to feel a little cold in Mumbai. Before you get too excited though, I would clarify that “cold” here means that the temperature is just about hitting 20 degrees. I no longer need to turn on the AC at night.

While I welcome the winter season, I am annoyed as well at how lazy it makes me. It reminds me of the cold mornings back in Jabalpur when I was a kid when lying in the warm and cosy blankets felt so good, that I didn’t want to go to school or study or do anything else. I feel the same this week. I don’t feel like working, all I want to do is drink hot tea and watch movies.

I remember back in Kota, I used to force myself off my bed in the mornings and sit on the floor to study during the winters. I knew that if I would feel warm, I would fall asleep. Oh, what wouldn’t I give to have that kind of drive back in my life again!

It’s funny how at 30 I am still trying to figure life out. What was clear to me at school time, how to keep myself motivated during the winters, is unclear to me now. I guess this is going to be a lifelong process. But I’ll take it as a challenge and I know I will find a way.
