A Special Day

 Our blog reaches truly late today, Dear Regular Readers.  Well, the day was a little hectic, but most relaxing at the same time! How can such diametrically opposite possibilities jell in? Is that your question? Let me see if i can make myself understood a little, and, yes, better.

It is June 7 today, the day of the 'mriga nakshtra'. My day hence began with a spoonful of asafoetida mixed with the cow ghee, a practice my parents followed during our childhood. It is an excellent cleanser and moisturizer of the stomach and its inner linings. It kills all the parasites, and softens the tissues of the intestines. I follow this annual ritual rather religiously. 

As I was preparing the special pav-bhaji for this unique day, my brother's birthday, lovely fragrance wafting around, teasing the nostrils, while I packed 'dabbas' full, piping hot, ready to be served, it was pouring like mad which derailed the day's planning. But it was okay as I could spend some time with my brother and his family on his birthday.

My younger brother's family includes a cute little beagle who was in a lovely sporty mood today. Had a great day playing with him as he chased the ball all over the place. If such are the results, the huge distances and the crazy traffic, given the potholes full of muddy water do not matter because the home is where the heart is!

Pratima@ Earlier schools used to re-open on June 7, which used to be the onset of the monsoon as well. This year, the monsoon opened its innings with sixers in all directions, and quite in advance!
