Preparing To Celebrate
Dalila watches Babu, her cousin and my electrician-cum-plumber, as he wires Christmas lights around our roof terrace;
Anu washes the terracotta pots.
We prepare to celebrate Christmas.

Neither Use Nor Ornament 
It looks as though you are letting your light shine. What a festive place to celebrate.

Thank you – though letting my party-light shine doesn’t always come naturally to me!

Wow! Anu knows how to set the scene for a party. I could have done with him here. I see your throne has been installed. Have a wonderful Christmas.

Shaji, Dalila, Anu and Babu have been working for days to get the roof terrace back into action after the ravages of our two monsoons, the construction of new wooden blinds, and a full-house repaint.
Tomorrow we are expecting forty-two guests for our Christmas evening party!
