Day Six and Seven...

The rains began their downpour at last and Mumbai heaved a sigh of relief. There were many like me

who were overjoyed and many who made faces

looking at the inky sky. I pity those who

can’t see the

that waits behind the dark clouds. For them it is that time of the year when they have to wade (for me glide) through the muddy (for me warm brown) waters is eeeeeeks! It is that time of the year when they are forced to carry an umbrella or a wind cheater and also not to forget it on the way back home. I have a suggestion for them...

Why not just walk out without one? Try it once, you won’t regret it. Walk in the rains like there is none. And see the difference it can make to your life.

My weekend was great. Enjoyed walking in the rains, sipping hot cups of tea, eating Bhajiyas

by the road side. I just love these crunchy little things! But they have to be savoured piping hot. No point eating them cold, that’s for sure. (Even while I am writing this, my mouth is watering…oooooooh! Somebody please get me one more plate…!

)

I spent my Saturday and Sunday evenings at the Home. The Unit tests were over so I taught them some Origami. We did a Swan and a Fish and they enjoyed doing it. We played Hangman and a game where one after the other you say numbers like, 1, 2, 3, 4…but multiples of 5 have to be skipped, like 5, 10, 15, 20 and so on. It was great fun indeed!

I bought note books for all of them for practicing handwriting. A shopkeeper friend of mine sold me the Notebooks at lower rates, a nice gesture on his behalf indeed!
