I found Autumn!

"Do you know what Autumn is?" asked my 5-year-old son. "Of course I know what Autumn is; its the time when the leaves turn yellow and wind becomes cold." I said plainly as we walked back from his kindergarten. Honestly speaking, this is my very first real Autumn! I have only read about this weather in books and believed that it exists in some areas. In Mumbai we have no Autumn, we have the monsoon when it does not rain, it pours. In Delhi, we have Hazy weather all year round and it may get cold in late October/ November. Here, in Salzburg, I am witnessing seasons like spring, summer (though short-lived), and now autumn. Of course, I had a spring in my step when I saw that leaves don't just turn yellow/brown but also orange and red! The chilly atmosphere and leaves slowly falling from trees every time a sharp cold wind blows is simply magical. I know, many things are magical to me in Salzburg but a sunny autumn day at the park will definitely make it to my top 10...
