"You dress Gandharvika so skinny" it wasn't the first time i'd heard that criticisim. "Yeah, someone else said that to me too." i answered. "But i told them 'yes, but you know as well as i that in United States that women are considered prettier if they're thinner'" i explained, the second one replied to me "You're weird, murkapujari" Gandharvika's blue sari is no exception. Giridhari has yellow and Mahaprabhu wears green today. "In India they pull her skirt out very wide" She said. "That's because in their culture people are considered more attractive if they're a little puggy." hmmmm. The petals in the garlands today kept comming out. It didn't really show, the garlands didn't look skimpy, still the petals were all over the altar and had to be swept up many times.
Just as i began to pedal today the hail came. It didn't last long but the rain afterward came quite hard for a while. So i had to retreat to the barn again. Does it ever end? How much more can i take? How long before the sunny skies of spring and summer return?
The red and creamy chinese silk tonight. Gandharvika's skirt is cut in such a way as to look like she's swirling around. That is the pleats are cut on an angle. i'm sure how ever i've put it on her that she'll continue to look skinny.
