This reminded me of the UK
These days, since the weekend morning Farmers’ Market trip has stopped (due to the season), we have started a new routine of walking to a coffee shop in downtown and having a lazy cappuccino/latte time. My goal during that lazy time is not to touch the phone at all. And just observe all the customers coming in and out. Or talk to Sharmila.
Today was rainy and damp. Sitting at a corner in Warm Waves coffee shop, the environment reminded me of days in London and specially its suburbs. (At one time, I use to go there multiple times a year for work).
Customers were coming in with their umbrellas. It was drizzling outside with totally overcast sky. Even the brick walls of the buildings on the other side reminded me of smaller towns outside London.

My mom would have been proud of me
Three months after moving to our new house, for the first time we went to the Alpharetta downtown farmers’ market. It actually happens every Saturday but we usually are on the lake on Saturday mornings.
Sharmila was excited beyond belief seeing all the fresh vegetables. Reminded me of the time when I was used to go to the market to buy vegetables. I was one bicycle short today. And one dog too many!
Found উচ্ছে (“uchhe“) and শাঁকালু “(shnakalu)” (bitter melon and jicama)!! Bought some fresh tomatoes, bell pepper, eggplant and okra too!
Like I said, my mom would have been very proud of me. My dad, I am sure, would have reserved his judgment till he found out how much they cost. “koto daaam nilo?”

I can get used to this
I walked up to Alpharetta Downtown after dinner. Most places are closed. Not too many people around either. Just the occasional family strolling by or a dog barking in the distance.
My friends at Chiringa – Emily Fricks and Emily Reedy have left me with a glass of wine and a glass of water. And I am getting my work done on my laptop.
Light breeze. Great weather.
Like I said, I can get used to this!!

It used to be only the two of us who would go to a bar in the evening
These days, Jay Jay creates a ruckus if we do not take him too. He just sits there criss cross applesauce on the chair and listens to the local bands playing. The regular patrons repeatedly comment on how he completely ignores the other dogs and focuses on the music. I think he misses our tabla evenings!!
