The December derives many a
things to cherish; esp. the December cold is the favorable time of the year, where
the Chennai infamous for its hot weather experience a sensation of cold, the
dew dawn is remarkable throughout this month and beyond. During this time, the
mind craves to wake up early to experience the free of cost air condition from the
worldwide winter season and to be in Chennai or any other place this month
cheers the warmth inside blanket, where we never want to get out of it ;)
I wish to travel a lot during
this month and the dew dawn is never refreshing like anything esp. for me and
if there’s a choice I will choose this month to explore places on surface and
even breathing the tremble cold of hill stations. There are few travels I took
during this month are most fascinating in my rides and my first time to
Valparai in Dec 2008, near Kovai or Coimbatore is rejuvenating even thinking
now and almost riding around the pristine mountains and stunning country sides
of Pollachi and Erode is evergreen.

| One pleasant evening of December, near Kanyakumari |
Last year on the same month, I
was around the southern tip of India –Kanyakumari, enjoying the simple stay and
travel among the wind energies and roaring rock waves with settings of sun and
nip in the air were appreciably. On our way back, climbing the Sirumalai (Small
Hill – which isn’t very small like the name refers) on the Natham-Dindigul main
road is fascinated by its quite tranquility and rich in small banana
plantation, the cold wind will enforce you to hold embrace even there was
bright flash of sunlight and the couple of villages or colonies as they mention
there inhabited to horseback packed products grows around the hills.
The December has
something distinct feature as fragrance, stretching both the wings of hot and
cold and the real odor of it could be experienced only in villages, while they
produce smokes in evening to warmth as well driving away the mosquitoes that
breed mostly in this month or season, after rain. The cow dung smell was
something enrich during this time, where most of the houses are swish swashed
to cow dung sprayed on the courtyard before drawing a beautiful Rangoli or
Kolam (a design created by using flour) to flourish their homes, which is a
tradition followed esp. during the Tamil month of Margazhi – which begins at
the middle of December.
The music and dance
has been great conjoin to December, where many a concerts and dance festivals
hold everywhere across Chennai, I have no idea about the vibes it creates, but
hope it has something wonderful, only those passionate about could express
right. Overall, the December has an enchanting climate unlike any other month or
season; I too believe each season/month has its own essence to cherish; the
December has a distinct sky with glorious setting of sun, which I well observed
during my Kanyakumari visit.
