Season Challenge

Winter Season

Winter is my favorite season. Winter in my Country lasts from the month of roughly December to February. By the end of the year, our final exams would be over. After the exams got over, we would finally get to visit our grandmother's house. All of our cousins would be there.

our grandmother would prepare pitha (Cake) for us. Sitting alongside her on foggy winter mornings, eating freshly made pitha ( Cake) roasted over a clay oven was another kind of bliss. We would even fight over it—arguing about whether the boys would get to eat first or the girls. Sometimes we would snatch each other's pitha (Cake) while eating.

The minute the sun showed itself a little, we would run out to play—cricket, football, kana machi (a game we played as kids). We would return home with our clothes dirty, and our mother would scold us, but our grandmother always defended us.

Then, we would have a bath in the pond. The boys would all bathe together on one side, and the girls on the other side. We loved splashing water on each other so much that we would not even realize when two hours had ed. Then, our aunt would come to take us for lunch.The children would be fed first and then the grown-ups. During meals as well, lots of gossiping was going on. We would covertly sneak out after eating and check if the elders had gone to sleep and then quickly sneak back to outside and play—fly kites, play carrom, play ludo.

Because it was a village establishment, all the people would head home by the evening. We would help our mother cook chicken and fish by night. We would have dinner at night and spend time laughing and having fun. We would all go to bed at 9 PM. At night, under our blankets, we would listen to ghost tales from our grandmother. We would become so scared that some of our cousins would not even go to the washroom by themselves.

And before we know it, December would be gone. In the last week of December, we would have to return home as our exam results were announced. All of us would be low. But leaving behind the hope of coming back again next year, we would leave.Our grandmother would walk with us halfway to see us off. To this day, the tears in her eyes then still make me weep. I would always look back to see if she was still there. She would stay there until we boarded the vehicle.

Even today, we visit our grandmother's house in winter. But the only thing is that she is no longer with us. We still have pitha, but our aunt makes it now. We have barbecue parties at night. At night, we have tea and talk late into the night. The boys visit our grandmother's tomb, but we stay home and pray for her.

Briefly, this season captures all my memory with my grandmother. That's why Winter is my favourite season .

I would like to get the title 𝐖ɪɴᴛᴇʀ ❅ 𝐒ᴘɪʀɪᴛ #283470
