Sun

Total sun person. Not a doubt about that. Give me some sunshine and I'm happy.

Something about the warmth on the skin, the burn, even. Something , then, about sun kissed skin. The deep golden olive tan.

Something about the sun creeping in through the windows of the house. Patches of sunshine on the kitchen floor. Streaming in through the white cotton curtains.

Something about tying the hair up to feel the sweat on the nape of the neck. And earthy summer dresses. With big sunglasses and silver flip flops. Glistening sun screen.

Walking through fountains to cool down. Then laying on the grass to warm up. Cold, cold, nimbu pani. Make that two. Icecream. Popsicles. Sprinklers in the garden. And running through them. Now, cool, then hot.

Something and everything about the sun. Glorious.
