Of Beads and Baubles.... by amrita21

Of Beads and Baubles....

I am posting pictures today and tomorrow, of what has been taken during the week., not because I can't take another picture but as I want to share these pictures.
Well, each picture has a story....
As usual time being in short supply... I set out late evening, dodging the traffic hour, feeling very clever. I wanted to get my my son the Chennai Superkings, the IPL(Indian Premier League) jersey. The jersey in his size wasn't available. In all my cleverness, feeling let down, I stepped out of the Reebok showroom.
This is an old area of Mumbai, called Colaba Causeway, a stone's throw from The Gateway of India, so a tourist haven as well.Here, all the Sports shops, Reebok, Nike , all lined up, and on the footpath, little stalls with all sorts if things and interesting trinkets for a bargain. It is a very colourful and crowded footpath.
As I stepped off the kerb, I turned back and this glint of light caught my eye....A picture calling again.... I knew....
My daughter, turned back looking for me... And a knowing smile she gave me.... knowing a new love has gripped me.... ;)

Gorgeous image and lovely story :)

@psychographer Thanks Lisa, it's not just the pictures, it is the process of being more alert and aware to lights n shadows, to seeing beauty in everything, things I wouldn't have noticed before, i feel more sensitized to everything around me..... so I feel somewhere it has seeped into me... :)

Is this Colaba? Looks amazing. How come your son does not want the Mumbai Indians?/

@dandolo Thanks so much! Happy you liked it! :)
@writingdays yes, Colaba Causeway, just outside the Reebok showroom. Can you believe it? All these bead and crystal chains looked brilliant in the light. What you see as light, are clear quartz necklaces... :) He is a Chennai Superkings supporter, i think he refers the players. He is happy, got a Superkings cushion at the lunch.
