Kozhukkatta/ kozhukattai – Live your life!! Enjoy the tranquillity of nature and life. I love snowing!! So far we had few snowy days in Manchester. Snow is a change of scenery. It’s like nature’s costume party. Everything looks so different and magical when it’s covered in snow. If you observe the nature and its surroundings close, they will tell you which stories you need to write, say and do. This generates the creativity in you. “Creativity is just connecting things”
