A Random Memory

There was a time when we used to frequently visit a small restaurant every weekend. It was small ans cozy and more importantly fit our budget those days. I used to observe two Sikh families that came every weekend too. There was an older couple with a teenage daughter and a relatively younger couple with a little baby (less than a year old). I remember one particular incident where the teenage daughter pleaded with the younger couple to allow her to feed the little one some Seven Up. The dad said, "Alright, just a little." And the girl was so pleased. I can recollect the pink of the mother's salwar and the fact she had her hair fashionably cut, but the daughter was in a long braids.


Funny how you can remember something so clearly after so many years and yet forget where you placed your car keys last evening!
