Old Bottle, New Life


Old Bottle, New Life
Originally uploaded by Split Pearsonality

One of the duds of our Xmas Party this year (the ONLY one, I must say) was when my husband opened this prized bottle of African after-dinner liquer, and poured it out into a glass in front of all the guests, and what emerged was clumps of fermented, way-past-sell-by-date...milk.
But my mom, who can never bring herself to throw anything away, was so smitten by the bottle, leopard-print-cloth-cover and all, that she washed it out, stuck in a rose bud from the garden and re-christened it.
I still think...FAIL.

What is it with Indian moms and their need to save anything and everything? My mom is the same way!She is the pioneer "green" activist :) , though it is a different green that she is interested in saving :)
