A typical twilight 'neath the magnolia!

Pouring rain...! (The rain always does something to her... she can stand there and look at for hours or jus quietly wander into it and splish-splash all over! Her li'l head gets clear... her thoughts run a smoother track... I guess she kind of gets renewed!)

Once it stopped the weather was right out of a dream... cool breeze, the smell of the first rain in the air.. (bheeni bheeni khusboo!) and everything just looked so fresh n new! Her wanderlust took her to the 'Bhopal Haat!' - a place where villagers n tribals put up stuff they've made for sale... Mum's with her and their first stop was a bird seed stall where they'd created beautiful wall hangings out of wheat grains for birds to come and slowly peck it away!! They stopped next at the 'amla' stall... that's their latest fetish! Both of 'em carry it in their handbags all the time so stock had to be replenished!! A handworked handbag and a 'well shaped diya' later they were chit chatting at the tea stall enjoying garma garam adrak ki chai and bhajiye while listening to a local artist belt out bollywood songs to the notes of a guitar and a drum!

That ladies and gentlemen was the Magnolia part! She saw stars when her wrath turned upon herself and she fell from the stairs at home in the process scalding herself with a steaming cup of coffee she was gleefully carrying upstairs with her! :P Her jinxed-pana has off late turned to herself.. She had a minor accident a few days ago as well and the bruises are still pretty damn purple!!! :D

Baaki sab badhiya! (At least the gadgets are behaving themselves! By the way... that's another advantage of being 'Motee'! All the dunlop prevents broken bones from happening inspite of falling down a flight of 'Sweet 16' Steps! :D)
