Saree: silk kota I guess. Choli: old time blouse, all my old blouses are loose and keep slipping off shoulders, but still wanted to wear it today.
Story: Pics say it all. Breeze, Shower, Saree, Silence, Smiles, flowers, blue sky, swaying branches... everything to wake up the child in me again. So there I go.. Sat on steps, sat on my favorite wooden bench and... Sat on the parapet wall and jumped off it too.. I did not want to go indoors.
"Amma.. pls.. I want to play outside.. With Siri.. with friends Sandhya, Kutti, Valli and the boys too..
Play cards, cycle around the colony, gupshup sitting in balcony or terrace, or have rasna together.
Or perhaps today it's time to go to ration shop and check for stock and huge lines? Or maybe.. it's time to go to the mill to grind aata, Sambhar powder (give clear instructions not to mix with shikakai mill machine) or maybe peep into the fancy store.. for new nail polish or shingar color bindi liquid ... the 12 colored round dibba..
Maybe I should wash and dry my white canvas Bata shoes and polish them in the evening.. "
Two decades since but every moment fresh like the smell of soil soaked in first drops of drizzle..
Speaking of which.. it's shilpa gold bindi time today amongst many other things.
Here I go again.. to have my chai outside in the breeze.. Kya kare.. I am a summer sunny girl and can't control myself!!!
Too many pics.. sorry.. wasn't in mood to compile and collage..💖💖
