When His messengers conveyed God's words to mere mortals in the form of scripture, I believe they intended for His heavy invocation for whatever matter needed resolve. To which book one subscribes to or a total refusal of it, is another topic of discussion. The fact of the matter is that I've been wishing for heavy precipitation in my village since January, after hearing about the snow-storms and shut-downs back home. Some may find it an ill will. But you see, in the past couple of weeks the temperature buoyed somewhere in the upper 60s, bright sunny days to make even Droopy happy for once. As comfortable as that was, I wondered to myself, "what kind of a winter is this?! An effect of global-warming I suppose..." "Well, at least I can throw the Frisbee around....", I carried on about the days. But what I secretly prayed for was a bit of snowfall, heavy snowfall, perhaps. The effect of snow, albeit miserable in the villages when the streets turn in to a muddy slush, is also very charming. The entire landscape in Borino is a mystic white place. And one can never have too much fun in the snow! So I prayed (I actually didn't. Just wishful thinking). I complained about it to my villagers and friends. Some laughed, some snared and some even sympathised. Call it awesome mind power or just plain expected, snow finally came on Monday. And it's been snowing since then with a total accumulation exceeding 21 centimeters!
