Saree: benarasi.. not Georgette, not cotton or synthetic either.. donno.. choli: one of my early readymade ones back from four five years ago
Holi wishes to all my friends.. may life be as colorful as our cholis..
Story: I feel drained. I feel quiet. I feel lots processing within needing me to maintain calm. I really wanted to step out and get some moonlight in the pic but believe me the weather outside is crazy windy, chilly and damp with moisture.. so dint take risk.
I had setup tripod to take pics and received an office call.. nevertheless the pic was clicked !!!
Isn't it annual day time almost at schools now? So much fun right? Siri as a kid got lot more stage time than I did... I remember taking bournvita and marie biscuits to her .. while she sat there in a bench.. carefully not to let her lip lids (is thr such a word?) touch each other... Else the bright red lipstick would vanish... she would drink the mil carefully or I or amma would help her.. biscuits too.. no touching lips.. that itself was quite a task... the pink or sometimes white frilled frock, ribbons, some shiny powder on face.. wow.. cuties. The rehearsals, practice time during class (such an important feeling! Being called out for practice) .. to be seated with some other amazing performers or at least that's what the young mind could think in awe... the back stage conversations..
And if you had to collect prizes during annual day.. that's even better...walking up stage in costume when your name is called one or more times.. shows who the real star kid is... ahh this moments.. phir na aayenge woh bachpan ke din..
So every time I try to worry about kid and what his future holds I also tell myself universe is big and kind to have small place for all abd each of us.. so let him b e for now and have fun.. because before he realizes his own childhood will vanish and I don't want to be th reason for it gone sooner .. especially when I am reliving my own through his..
Kho na jaayiye.. taare zameen par...
Isi baat pe ek gaana ho jaye? The eternal bollywood holi anthem.. rang barse... from the one and only Amitabh Bachchan saab.
