Lazy weekend ...

The perfect end to an utterly lazy weekend .... sitting listening to the traffic, new purple candles wafting some mellow scent into the still air, the stillness interrupted by the occastional lorryload of drum bashing young boys on their way from celebrating the Govind festival (the one where people climb on top of each other to create huge human pyramids). Haven't stepped out of the house at all today, and just now managed to lazily dial a curry .... the house is looking spotless thanks to the usual superhuman efforts of Tara who came bright and early this morning whilst I was still snoozing, and my feeble attempts to spring clean this afternoon ... (OK i cleared out one cupboard and washed a few plates but it felt energetic). Beloved has been working all day but happily from home .. we have a studio in what is actually the guest bedroom ... millions of gigabytes of fancy editing stuff ... I can hardly turn the computer on let alone make use of the fcp (first cut professional if you really want to know).

Last night we made it to a party in Malad. For the Bombay uninitiated, thats Very Far Away in the suburbs, and a choking drive through the pollution and grime. It was quite a nice evening though, a surprise birthday party. We took the puppy along with us as we didn't want to leave her alone for too long ... she predictably pooped and pissed and tried to eat cigarette butts out of the ashtrays (well they were shaped just like her water bowl) but she was universally adored so all was good.
