A hazy shade of spring
In what is now increasingly becoming an unusual year weather-wise, for
the last few days Pasadena has been under a thick screen of fog at
dawn and after dusk. While the cover of mist certainly does not
compare with the fascination of snow on the mountain ramparts, walking
through it brings back nostalgic memories of the early morning fog in
Bangalore through which the milkman would walk his buffalo, the
filthy-looking groggy newspaper delivery boy would do his rounds and
three-and-a-half-feet tall six-year olds would walk with running
noses, a kerchief stapled to their navy-blue sweaters and a ragged
jute schoolbag on their backs.
