Day 411- She's Here!

As a matter of fact, she's been there sitting in a little corner at my office since Monday, 11 November 2013.

She came snugly packed in this box

which was in turn secured in this one.

Now tell me, how can anyone not be excited when you see such a huge box delivered to your doorstep?

I saw her back first with the half hidden OM tattoo.

Then, that by now familiar smile.

I carefully fixed her on the stand as I was instructed to do

and I turned her this way and that.

I played with her hair a lot as I am wont to do with my own. 

Hers was much softer though and lovely to the touch.

And I marvelled at her apron 

which looked so like mine.

She has paint stains everywhere

and she is really messy when she works. 

So like me that way

and many,

many

other ways. 

From that bowl of threads

to my pair of straw slippers from Japan,

the view outside,

and the blue bird in her hand,

they are all my stories re- told  in such magnificent yet precise ways.

. 

So here she is, Ren,

a very happy pair of us.

Saying a big thank you

heartfelt and afar.
