umbrellas, methinks, should be bright and cheery. it should add colour to the normally gloomy rainy day. i mean there is something so... well...appealing about colourful umbrellas isnt there? no? what are you trying to say? that you never put any thought in you choice of raingear?

anyway, so where was i? yes brightly coloured umbrellas. i quite like them. except for today. my umbrella is a very pretty darkish (also very bright) pink.
and i was wearing something red. and had a red bag. with a pink umbrella (yes i know i've said this before. i tend to get repetetive under stressful conditions) and there was this huge gang school kids (boys! so what if they were adoloscents. and i'm old enough to not be bothered). and it just occurred to me (and of course to other people present at the scene) that i looked something like an advertisement for, ahem, a certain kind of contraceptive.

oh, the humiliation of it all. my boring black chattri. am never deserting you again. sigh!

The umbrella I carry has a huge multi-colored picture of brain on it. It is pretty nerdy but it serves the purpose. Well almost.

sayan: red chairs are fine? does it come in shades of pink?

sinusoidally: now that is way cool.

red invariably reminds me of pink...and from now on, whenever i see pink, i shall see contraceptives hovering in circles above my head...damn you and your umbrella! you ruined my life!
