when i was growing up...every year about 10-20 days before and till diwali i smelt a sweet smell in the air...as if indicating to me that diwali / winter was nearing...
in the evenings i felt the chill year after year and smelt the familiar smell (may be of sweets getting made all over in sweet shops)...i at times thot it was the indication and smell of delhi winter...
very surprisingly this evening when i walked out of the office today at about 9:30 PM... i got hit by the same familiar smell...and a slight (ofcourse not as strong as in Delhi) chill indicating onset of winters...and yes...diwali is about 10 - 15 days away...so it was not a city centric thing...
surprising !!!
wonder if any of u ever smelt it?

Haha I do feel the 'chill' if I may dare call it that. Even today morning it was nice and windy.
But when it comes to the 'smell of Diwali' I think in Bbay it will mostly be the fireworks (read pollution). Of course I don't mind. Look forward to all the firework every year. Would never burn any crackers myself but watching is great fun. It's my favourite time of year - totally 'festive'.
Planning to be in bbay this Diwali?
