Author's note:
Introducing a tiny new "character" in this one :) Someone who hasn't quite woken up yet but Imlie desperately needs her.
Introducing, Impish Imlie also referred to as Imp. And if anything can wake up Imp, its good food.
The song choice today is Ilu Sa Ha Deh by Ketaki Mategaonkar from the movie Pangharun.
The melody is haunting because that is how this chapter ends, with Imlie's reflections.
I have linked it to the appropriate part and urge you to listen to it. Not only for its beautiful composition and the singer's flawless rendition of this poetry but also because it sets the tone for Imlie's thoughts.
Chapter 8
Imlie stepped out of the car and looked around her. It was a warm, muggy morning. Her discerning nose caught a whiff of something ....positively delicious and quintessentially Maharashtrian.
VADA PAAV!!! Impish Imlie who'd been dormant for a long time finally woke up with a sparkle in her eyes and a dreamy smile.
Lord!! What I wouldn't give for one. Impish Imlie yawned and then hugged herself. Can't remember the last time we had vada paav, Imlie!
Opening her eyes Imlie glanced to the left and the right.
This way! Let's go!! Imp cried out in her head.
Decisively Imlie began walking towards where her nose led her.
"Ma'am!!! Wait!"
She stopped and turned around.
Oh Advait! Oops! Imp made a guilty face.
"I smell vada paav." Imlie grinned, "I'm hungry. Do you mind if we....I'd really like to have a vada paav, please?"
Slack jawed, Advait stared at her, shocked at her pleading tone. And the fact that The Madhulika Rathore wanted to eat on the side of the street.
"If it's vada paav you want we can see if the mall....."
"No Advait!! What I'm smelling is what I want. Let's go! Don't tarry!" She began walking away briskly.
Advait groaned inwardly.
Damn it. Mr. Rathore was going to kill him if he found out Advait had allowed his wife to eat at a roadside food vendor and what if she got sick!!
What had gotten into her! His boss would fire him if she got sick!
