Adios Silken Dream


 Thought I'll dole out a less serious tale for a change... *cough*  another true story *cough* except for the prompt....




The pile steadily increased....given it was trousseau shopping, not to mention silk sarees gifted to close relatives...


The colours swirled in front of them, thirty six shades of violet...
Undecided, looked around....her reception one not chosen....
The perfect shade of mauve, called out literally..the embroidery and price tag left her bedazzled...
She touched lovingly, to have it pried away gently...”The lady in green has selected it.....cash payment and its yours.”
She dodged peak traffic to reach the bank....silent prayers, awaiting her turn. To her dismay...the ATM machine began dispensing twenties!!!
Stepping out to find the lady and her dream walking towards the car.

Glad you made it this far...would love to hear your take on the words scribbled. A comment every now and then keeps the blues away. :D

Since, crazy Mr. Blogspot won't let me reply to the comments here (is upset with the water ladies ever since they refused to verify visitors)...will do the next best thing, drop in to your blog to say my Vanakkam/Namaste/Salaam/Hello.
