And sometimes, when winter seemed to go on and on in the U.S., I longed for a hot Indian day so I could just wear cottons and sandals.<BR/><BR/>And just because someone can dream of other climates does not necessarily make them elitist.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14934380378741960230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20031299.post-11480100175346432042007-10-12T22:47:00.000+05:302007-10-12T22:47:00.000+05:30hi there. well, I am not sure I would correlate th...hi there. well, I am not sure I would correlate the enjoyment of seasons with being elitist. I mean, to me south indian heat, even in bangalore is extreme. everything is relative. in the US, when it gets frigidly cold out, we have shelters for the homeless so they do not have to stay outside and risk freezing to death. I do not know what happens in Delhi with their extreme conditions, but I assume that there is also a "swalpa adjust maadi" attitude among the people there, too. <BR/><BR/>I do feel for people who are less well off. But they have larger issues than the seasons... like education and healthcare and food, no? and even a poor person can appreciate nature, can they not? just because one is poor of money does not make them poor of spirit. I am sure poor kids enjoy playing in piles of fallen leaves just as much as rich ones, right?small squirrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04874642010421580848noreply@blogger.com
