The tale of two climates !

Its almost been 6 months since I have settled in Paris - however, there is an answer to one question with which I still baffle all my European colleagues. When asked on a bright and sunny day, if the weather outside was good - my answer is a very strong NO. My friends who have spent most of their lives in Europe , get to see the bright side of sun only for a few weeks or a few months at max. And hence, every extra minute of life spent under the sun is a moment of bliss for them. However, when you ask the same question to a person like me - having spent all these years in India, being born and brought up in North India, and on top of it, living in Ahmedabad for the last 5 years , there is no way that I can appreciate the sun. Sun/heat is something for which I had an over-supply for all my life - especially during my stay at Ahmedabad. And hence, for me the definition of a good stay is still a day full of clouds, with occasional showers, absolutely no sun...and maybe a temperature between 10 and 15 degrees. I hope ( not very seriously though!), that someday I will change ( or rather evolve as a true European) and in the process, stop disappointing my European friends in their plans of having a sandwich at the Champ de Mars, under the sun !
