Today morning the sky was cloudy , wind blew gently . Unusually . It is not mean to rain at this time of the year. Yet , the threat of the rain was very much there. It was almost as if the heavens were frowning at earthlings.
A group of glistening cars had gathered at the farthest end of the blind end of the road . Men wore brightly coloured , starched turbans , and women wore blingy , headache inducing outfits . All were heavily bejewelled and perfumed . Men strutted , women simpered and giggled . A cameraman and his assistant were busy recording each and every moment of this gathering .
Suddenly , a band , which was standing silently , on the sidelines , sprung into action . Maroon and white uniforms , with gold streaked headwear , played tunes from Hindi movies , marched and pirouetted . A gleeful (and prepared ) guest threw banknotes / coins towards the band , and was immediately snatched up from the ground , by a hitherto invisible group of scruffy street urchins . Their appearance was in total contrast to the group following them .
