Man in blue

This week’s Thursday Challenge : “BLUE” (Water, Sky, Vehicles, Houses, Flowers,…)

If it’s blue it has to be Hrit.. he’s a boy you see. This colour distinction got so bad at one point that he would refuse to eat Strawberry Icecream because.. yes you’ve guessed it… because it’s pink. What’s worse I got so caught up in the whole pink-blue thing that once The Husband used my towel inadvertantly. And my annoyed rejoinder was “How could you think it was yours? It’s pink.”

This picture was taken before a pre-wedding dandiya dance night. He’d bought the hat and glares just that day and wouldn’t part with them. And so we ended up with this traditional-modern Raju-ban-gaya-gentleman look.

Bright as day

This week’s Thursday Challenge : “YELLOW” (Flowers, Vegetables, Sun, Clothing, Vehicle, Toys, Blanket,…). The pics were all clicked by my sister during a trip to Amsterdam…

DAFFODILS: Daffodils always make me nostalgic.. not because I ever saw them in my childhood but because together with William Wordsworth they take me back to my school days.

‘.. and then my heart with pleasure fills, and dances with the daffodils’.. Lovely

GOLDEN ROSES: Aren’t they beautiful.

CLOGS, AMSTERDAM: Google tells me these shoes are made of Balsa white poplar wood. Apparently they are known to keep your feet warm and are supposed to be very comfortable. They’re also the most popular souvenirs from Amsterdam. Traditionally they had to be yellow with a red pattern. I love this one with the windmill.

On the road

This week’s Thursday Challenge : “VEHICLES” (Trucks, Motorcycles, Cars, Buses, Bicycles,…)

UNICORN VEHICLE: Front of a bike and the back of a cart. We saw them in Gujarat where they’re called ‘Chhakdas’. Most are elaborately done up in the brightest of colours complete with blaring music for the entertainment of the commuters. Considering that they’re noisy as hell the music has to be loud with a capital ‘L’ to be heard.

WORK IN PROGRESS: These trucks on the roads of UP come with the tops missing. There’s just a small cabin for the driver and that’s it. I’ve no clue why they’re left like that.

That’s what they look like from the back

FAMILY VEHICLE: Some might worship motorcycles for style and speed but in UP it’s just that.. a family vehicle.

LONG DRIVE: Hrit gets to drive an auto from California to Mumbai 🙂
