Biji de Nakhre

This was late March, and she was all set to fly out to Mumbai one afternoon for a shoot. There was another half hour before the cab would arrive, and after a fair amount of preening in front of the mirror .. she tromps into my room, and says -

'Photo khichh meri. Badi der di tu merii koi photo nahin paayee facebook te ..'
('Click my photo. Long time since you posted my photo on facebook.')

I was like - 'Ma!' .. and then relented, and asked for her new phone which has a 8mp camera.
'Nahin! Apne vaddey camera naal khich ..' .. she wanted me to pull out my DSLR.

Sigh. I was in the middle of one of my saree stories. And I don't like to leave my stories midway. But more important .. I don't let this little big girl's demand go unaddressed too.

So here are a few which should make her happy.

I had been pulling out my summer cottons earlier in the morning, and had asked her if she'd like this cream fab india kurta I had worn just once last summer. The fit hadn't worked for me. She grabbed at it like a little girl. Ironed, and decided to wear it on the flight. She had the ensemble ready. 

.. her nail polish please

The excitement even prompted her to change the nail paint on her toes - a bright pink. Please to not miss that in a picture. She insisted 'mere pairaa'n di vi photo layeen ..'.
