Yellow

Ode to Yellow

I hold you in my hand, a burst of sun

Glimmering through skin, bouncing away,

Eager to catch that glimpse of joy

Sway like sunflowers, inviting us to play

Slip through silk, glass, clouds

Gently buttery tones shining in my eyes

 

My Mehndi Night!

Mehndi laga ke rakhna, doli saja ke rakhna
Lene tujhe o gorii aaeynge tere sajana

Put your henna on and keep the wedding palanquin decorated.
Beautiful girl, your beloved will come to take you away.

My mehndi (or Henna) night was a really special night, and one which was surpringly fun for me because of all the silly posing, dancing and amazing cakes and food we had. I’ll be posting more pictures soon, but thought I’d post a picture which sums up the night for me in a pretty simple way – this is me doing twirls outside my mehndi hall and enjoying myself in the street!

More pictures coming soon once I get more of the professional ones!
