From the rusty window of the 10:20 Churchgate Slow I spotted a hawker selling cotton candy, what we often called Buddhi ke Baal as fair thronging kids.
What was unusual about this cotton candy though was its colour. It was green. Used to associating little clouds of pink fluff in plastic packets with the words cotton candy, the green was a bit odd for me. The first thought that popped into my head was - That doesn't seem right.
Is that the basis of human psyche? Is that how our brains are conditioned? The colour we aren't used to becomes foreign; sometimes exotic, sometimes odd and at times even wrong?

lovely...God bless you! love
To start of, I didn't know it was called 'Buddhi ke Baal' - it's a strange name, despite the resemblance.
Nice post though. The trains are playgrounds of profundity.
@Mom: Thanks... lots of love from me too.. :)
@sahar: Haha.. yeah..new piece of info for you..not surprising though... i don't imagine you to be a fair thronging kid anyway, Lord E. ;)
Playgrounds of profundity... Nice...And so true... If you are someone who really sees the world there is much to be seen even in the most mundane of things...
