Morning meeting

Three women,
domestic workers
in crumpled, colourful cotton sarees
wrapped around their shoulders
against the early morning chill
in animated conversation
each holding on a leash
a pug, a Lhasa Apso and a Labrador.
The pug and the Apso look bored
and somewhat suspicious
while the Labrador wags his tail
and smiles a benevolent smile.

It's finally getting very cold here, cotton sarees are no protection against the cold anymore, everywhere there are faces hidden behind thick shawls :)

And Labs :) There's one sitting right next to me, sighing loudly, although it isn't yet time for his last walk of the day :)
