Snow...Snow everywhere.

When I was watching Fanaa (an Indian film), I was bewitched by the wonderful snow being portrayed as something romantic. I always wished for the snow if not the romance in snow. I never understood as to why English like to start the conversation with snow. It baffled me when someone asked me how is the whether. India being predominantly a tropical country snow is a distant dream. I was thrilled to see the snow last year for the first time in my life. When it was snowing for the first time, I jumped with joy and played in it like a baby. I enjoyed it to the brim. I never felt cold in snow since I was thrilled to see it first time. 
Yesterday it happened again, it was in the early morning when I pushed my curtain I saw a think layer of snow in our garden and snowing heavily. I was not too keen in going to play since I was cold. Later during the day I took a stroll along the road and I felt so wonderful. I had a great feeling within me. I felt one with the nature so much I sat on the snow and even put in my mouth. A sense of satisfaction hovered in my whole being as the gently touch of the white and cold snow touched my tender skin on my face. I saw a couple of children playing in snow. I could see their joy of playing in snow. Nature can be so wonderful and can give us sense of joy and happiness only if we see positively. 

Snow can be very nasty if it is too much. Our movements become slim and we hardly can move freely and safely. The snow of one day has disrupted so much, some of the airports, schools, public transport, roads had to be closed. It can cripple the city to a large extent. Though I enjoyed the snow one day but it is not really going to help me if I have travel. Even walking on the pavement can be detrimental. When the snow becomes ice, it is hard to walk on it. Therefore too much is too bad. The incessant snow can cause in economic downfall. Gritting of the road can cost millions and closure of public transport and other enterprises can cause a huge loss in the economic well-being of a city. 

Therefore I think snow can be wonderful when it is limited but it can create problem to the country in several ways. Nature has its own way to act irrespective of human presence. We cannot really control the nature and its acts. We can only bear with it and carry on until nature acts in favour of us.
