4 Yellow Flowers

My Dad & I went to my Uncle's place here yesterday afternoon. When we came down & walked to our car in the parking area, to head back for home, this is what we found adorning our emerald green Maruti 800!

These 4 yellow flowers had been carefully arranged in those tiny slits at the base of the windshield wipers. By whom - we knew not! I removed them from there and stepped inside the car, with those flowers, to show them to Dad.

Towards the front of the building, we saw a couple of kids playing... the kind whom we fondly refer to as "street urchins". When they saw us drive out of the building, they smiled shyly at us, and looked at each other.

I looked at them. They looked at the flowers. I looked at the flowers. Their smiles widened slightly, still remaining shy. I looked up again and understood. They were the ones who had decided to play 'God' with our car! (Perhaps they hadn't been allowed entry into a temple!)

Out of the 2 dozen cars standing in the parking lot, including some sparkling new specimens of the latest models, the 2 kids had taken a fancy to our old beaten-down, badly scratched and bruised Maruti 800! Maybe they thought that the green looked cool with the yellow? :-/

I beamed at them. One of my 1000 watt killer smiles! They got confused. And then they beamed right back at me. TWO 1000 watt killer smiles! And we drove off. With the image of those 2 toothy grins in our minds. And these 4 yellow flowers in my hand.


P.S. - The pictures are a little blurred 'coz they were taken by my Dad's cell phone in a moving car!
