Slicky Muck

Now that rains are more or less here to stay, it starts to rain everytime we dress to go out and doesnt stop until we're half-soaked in a rickshaw, zooming out of this place. I wanted it to rain this way...and yet, I get a bit frustrated when it rains and the cotton fabric that my clothes are made of starts to get soaked first and then shrivel.

We visited Bond again on Saturday night, for a bot of wine and something to munch it with. The starter took so long to get to the table that we were half a bot down and a bit tipsy. Which isnt totally a new thing for me, but this time the wine really hit me. I clung to him as we came out to go to this cute little Thai eatery for dinner, feeling like I'd drop like a load of stones the moment I let go. Which was very entertaining for him but a bit scary for me coz my head was spinning until we sat at our Thai table (after fifteen minutes of waiting and watching a moron walk ahead of us to a table). A Coke later, I was feeling fine and digging into the sui mai.

Sunday was a lazy day, didnt do anything that I'd promised myself I would do, like working on my article and downloading this important document that I'm doing right now. We had a mixed vegetable curry with paneer that he did from start to finish and I made the usual accompaniments; dal fry and palak (spinach) raita.

Evening we went shopping for a super cool green paisley printed umbrella and a new pair of all-weather shoes. They're a light rose pink shade with cream innersole. Hopefully, they clean just as easy.

I just realized that there's not much of the slicky muck that's topping off the post today, but you have to forgive my wandering mind. It was raining almost all of last night and the view outside my window is breathtakingly beautiful.
