Mountain roof

There is an open space that I see every evening and since its not in grass, I generously call it fields. Through one of the windows, I saw few houses with the roofs - palms facing each other and the fingers touching at the top. Grey came into picture- from the clouds, from the distance of the mountain, from the roofs I just talked of, which seemed red till then. The new grey of the roof made the houses look white.
This mountain is 2 or 3 days old in my album. The first day I found it, its presence puzzled me. Today's focus revealed sub mountains in front, much like the houses with sub sections of similar roofs. How fast the mountains change.. the tectonic forces I tell you..

El Nino

This little kid stared and stared and then just broke the stare unbashfully. The white and the black of her eyes reminded me of the inside of a custard apple. Was it because she was too young to reflect cognition in her eyes?

If only there were two of me

Three weeks ago, I saw a black round table with two people at it and a half wall beyond which steps led to a fountain and the rest of the sides. I thought to myself, this is the place I want to sit at, have coffee and ponder. This should happen on a non-sunny afternoon with not much of a crowd around. But how can I ever watch it happen standing from where the wish was begotten?

See Chef bat

Today my fielding skills were called to attention at Hon Machi, what with the chef batting out a pea which could be missed if not due to lack of my attention then for its size for sure... Aww!! so you cant watch food being prepared in front of you and think of something else if it is Teppan Grill.. With the caution I put in, I managed to dissuade the chef from squirting teriyaki sauce at me.. But it was fun watching the egg being broken in the air..I was told to expect this..
Even if you make yourself believe that mustard sauce looks a lot like peanut sauce and devour it.. it sure does not wait long to tell...

Whats in a name

How much of karmic account is effected by curses in an alien language? I got to know of this loss like 5 days later..
How harmful can it be to make a statement like 'Del taco is like Taco Bell'...
Few days ago, a man asked me for the route to Taco Bell in Spanish and I pointed him to Del Taco...
