Pink tide

.. not the Latin American Pink Tide!
My selection of frocks for Mira was overwhelmingly pink (the peach being V's selection) at the aadi sale in Pothys. Shoppers in Chennai have an added excuse to go on a buying spree - the month-long discount sale in the inauspicious month of Aadi. A month when a newly married woman is sent home so that she doesnt conceive in this month to give birth to a kid in the hottest month of the (next) year. And a month when people did not make any purchases - until shops conjured this clever idea of sale.
My parents got back safe and sound from London early dawn today, despite the Glasgow and London bomb scares. But there is a greater scare awaiting them when they land in Kerala - chikun gunya and other mysterious fevers. There seems to be onion fevers and tomato fevers - named after the kind of skin rashes that accompany these fevers.
Thankfully, I have help with the kids until they leave for Kerala on 20th.
