On a day like today

Crazy day today. Brilliantly mad at Bertie. Made me wait for two hours and still did not return my papers. Dontwant. Bureaucrat kothakar. Walked off. Will face him only in third year and never bring up the issue ever again.
Then things got better. I mean really. Ma came to pick me up. Had some work in New Market. So I tagged along, to my dismay, to some jewellery shop over there. But it was just a two minute affair, and I was in for a pleasant surprise. The shopkeeper remembered me...and he must have seen me after six years or something. And that felt good, because I'm really the forgettable sort.

Ma, wanted to cheer me up, so we had phuchkas. And New Market phuchkas are always special. And while we were waiting for the delightful little things to be made, the sky darkened to a sinister shade of grey. The best colour a sky can ever be in summer. So we had phuchkas, while it got greyer and greyer and windier and windier, and as soon as we finished, it was pouring baby, pouring. And then what-Bertie-who-Bertie. I love rain. We couldn't find Sukdev da, so we were drenched to the bone looking for him, but somehow, no-one was complaining. I took pictures of New Market on my phone camera while Ma walked on purposefully ahead. I felt like a bloody Raj Kapoor heroine (white and everything) by the time I got into the car.


Mother Nature to the rescue. And hot bath and coffee too. Don't you just love rain?

pics aren't great, low resolution etc.
