The Monk In Saffron......!!!!!



With the turn of September month,I started my walks again as the weather is not as wet ......but some days I do get caught in the morning showers and today was one such day. Now if you are a regular walker, you tend to meet the same people every morning and yes I happen to meet this monk in saffron every morning.....crossing the same place ....the same time almost every day....either he would be ahead of me by a few steps or I would....its almost like as if we have fixed a time and the route too because more often then not I would find him taking the same route that I take....and when I am behind him like I was today, my keen eyes would give him an over all look and marvel at the bright saffron outfit he wears....dhoti, kurta, sweater, over coat, shawl, socks all the same shade and I would wonder why does he leave out his shoes, which is black....and today he had a huge saffron color umbrella. Must be ordered specially for this group of chaste men. Talk of color matching !!!! Lol!!! He sure does brighten up a grey morning.

May be he is motivated by recent Fashion weeks.
Saffron has a new definition given out recently by the cong party(sic)

It's good to see someone in saffron early in the morning. It inspires peace.
