My kind of winter. A delicious chill in the air after dusk, and the rolling mist makes everything seem muted and somber &#8211; lights, passing cars and the boats.<\/p>\n<p>The perfect weather to go walking and to take some pictures. It was brilliant, and as I went around the complex, part of me hoped that somewhere in the fog, I would come across a vendor selling roasted peanuts in a cart. And I would start to pay him and then realize that &#8211; shit, I have only dollars in my pocket, and paying a dollar instead of 5 rupees for a bag of roasted peanuts would be\u00a0sacrilegious. I was glad I did not meet a peanut vendor, finally.<\/p>\n<p>But there were only solitary people walking their pets, joggers panting as they thudded past me; strangely, a pig squealed from afar &#8211; I have no idea why, and I could hear sounds of laughter from the buildings nearby, presumably unrelated to the squeals. The air felt clean and fresh, I smiled at people, and they smiled back at me, and I came back home. Where there was\u00a0Thai lemon and chicken soup, roasted duck and Thai iced tea to wash it all down. Was your evening better than mine? I don&#8217;t think so.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-1389 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon '>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.beatzo.net\/blog\/2011\/11\/the-marina-on-a-foggy-evening\/attachment\/1\/#main'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beatzo.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon '>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.beatzo.net\/blog\/2011\/11\/the-marina-on-a-foggy-evening\/attachment\/2\/#main'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beatzo.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon '>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.beatzo.net\/blog\/2011\/11\/the-marina-on-a-foggy-evening\/2a\/#main'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beatzo.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2a.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon '>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.beatzo.net\/blog\/2011\/11\/the-marina-on-a-foggy-evening\/attachment\/3\/#main'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beatzo.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/3.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon '>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.beatzo.net\/blog\/2011\/11\/the-marina-on-a-foggy-evening\/3a\/#main'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beatzo.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/3a.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon '>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.beatzo.net\/blog\/2011\/11\/the-marina-on-a-foggy-evening\/attachment\/4\/#main'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beatzo.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/4.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon '>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.beatzo.net\/blog\/2011\/11\/the-marina-on-a-foggy-evening\/attachment\/5\/#main'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beatzo.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/5.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Winter&#8217;s almost here, and the season in LA right now reminds me of Assam.
