A happy, happy Saturday! Woke up late with the headache brought on by insufficient sleep. Then went to Vashi for my weekly Ma Kali visit.
And I had such an excellent lunch - there was luchi (poori made of maida), chhole, and a sweet and tangy raw mango chutney. Slept for a bit and then went to town to catch up with friends for an event. It was in town and the drive from Vashi to town today was exquisite! Smooth roads, a moist silvery sky, gleaming sea, symmetrical bridges, and clusters of fleshy, red flowers on trees. And peeping through all this was the city skyline waiting to melt your heart...like a Mona Lisa smile! So lovely!
Crossed St. Xavier's College and it looked as hallowed as ever. Then got to Chowpatty. Went for the event and after that, we all got a bite to eat around the place and went for a walk to Chowpatty. So here's the thing... my friend and I walked around until late and then sat on the chataai and had coffee...the local, pour-out-of-a-steel-canister coffee. The waves were soft and dreamlike, the moon peeked behind clouds, there was a steady yet gentle breeze...it was the kind of weather that makes you have epiphanies...just so much perfection is warped and weaved into an environment. And here's the thing...when you are by the beach, you realize just how much at ease people near the ocean. You can see the shoulders relaxed, brows unfurrowed, lips upturned into a soft smile...Lovely night.
Then we returned home and I picked up a new book that was delivered by Amazon. So...all around a yay day!
Dear Universe, thank you. Truly!
