His First Pair

“Dadu you came!” Rimi ran to hug her grandfather.
“Soon our village will get electricity…”
“Great! Dad will have no choice but to take me.” Rimi pulled him.
“Wait. Let me wash my feet first.”
“Why are you bare feet?!”
“I couldn’t wear leather on my feet!”
“But Dadu shoes are also made of synthetic material.”
“Really?”
“Yes! Let me buy you a pair of shoes.”
“I love my new shoes.” He carefully tucked them into his bag. “Thank you.”
“Aren’t you going to wear them?”
“Oh but I couldn’t!”
“Why not? They aren’t leather…”
“They’ll get dirty and frayed.”

Bindaas crazy lines 😀
Sometimes it pays to be stuck in a traffic jam!
Cute huh? That reminds me…
What’s so funny you ask? Well how about you tell me the time?
A scarecrow in the garden but the gophers aren’t impressed. After all they aren’t crows 😉
As usual I left my favorite for the last. Take your time and read it carefully. Or at least until you find tomato sauce. And then turn the page
And marvel at the meal that echoes but most of all salute the spirit and the determination to survive despite all odds.
From a couple of springs earlier, old timers may remember.
