Sawan

English summer this year has been a bit Indian. There have been thunderstorms and showers in late June. Just like we have in India - Monsoons. Though I still miss the smell of wet Earth. For some strange reason, even when walking on wet roads or grass, I don't feel the amazingly appealing smell of dry Earth being satiated.

Right, so in spite of the missing aroma  - there was something very 'sawani' to it. Days on which I felt like  getting out of work and just getting drenched in the rains, or dancing to some monsoon folklore :) Did it have something to do with the fact that this was my first sawan after wedding? Perhaps!

And then I was overwhelmed with all the 'sawan' gifts I received from Noida :) It was simply superb. I melted on seeing all the little things to remind me that I am married - bindi, bichiye, choori, mehandi :) All the little things to mark the occasion. 

The care with which mum remembers all that I need :) & the sweetness in which she packs them all :)

Oh! Little parcels of their (all of them really, even if most of it mum's) love :) Thank you God for giving me the world's bestest :) What more can I ask for! 

Thank you so much Mum. Sorry for being rude - but trust me I am working on it.

God bless you!!
