superfit cops

our 1st home together was a little terrace flat.

i loved the mornings there. well, basically, i am a morning person, much to husbands irritation. so there or anywhere else, i’m up and about rather early, much to my own irritation,  and extremely chatty. irritation, only if it’s been one of those ridiculously late nights, which for me is post midnight. so, i guess i’m irritated and irritable due to lack of sleep, quite a few days in the week. but this would make another picture…so we’ll leave it for another day.

woke up one morning, glared at husband as he snored soundly, opened the doors, let the sun in, took my tea on to the terrace to check out the sights, fed apples to the visiting parrots, let jax run around like a kookoo top…routine.

one of our views was the local cop station. it was next to one of the largest car dumpyards i have seen. i called it the car graveyard. in anycase, another picture, other ramblings. i remember reading in the papers how our cops are extremely unfit and rolly polly. the top brass, i guess took action, which led to me taking these pictures. that morning they sweated for a good, extremely hilarious half hour.

for a moment when i was sorting through my many hundreds of moments, i thought that the hung out to dry teddy bear and the back seat peeker were the same bear.

i was like wow!!! how did i manage that??? what a coincidence! i was flabbergasted and filled with joy at my discovery. i’m a genius…even though i had nothing to do with how this happened!

after catching my breath…oh ho…

not so joyful anymore.

hung out to dry

09.07am 18th march 2009

till last year aug, we lived in this little terrace flat. the one brilliant advantage, other than open space, tea and fruits under blue skys, coffee while gazing at the sun go down, pre-and-or-post-dinner drinks with flickering candle light, was the amount of drying space the terrace provided.

i washed clothes happily. sun-dryed clothes somehow make me feel really good inside. we won’t discuss what happened during the monsoons.

this was one of our views. our neighbours also used their terrace to it’s full advantage.

i don’t know why or what i was doing up so early, on the road, obviously on the way somewhere. in all probability i was rushing to bandra for some random reason or the other. more often than not, i make the reason more important than necessary. plus there’s always, ‘early bird beats the traffic’ and how i dislike bombay traffic…it’s one of my favourite pet peeves.
