No need to go to San Francisco


You can wear flowers in your hair in Chennai! There is fresh jasmine for sale all over the city, particularly during festivals and on temple holidays. You buy it from local vendors who sit at the side of the road. It is incredibly uplifting to wander about smelling of jasmine, and I imagine this will become a new habit of mine.

Did you dye your hair? Either way it looks wonderful. How interesting that you are in India wearing Jasmine in your hair and I am in Canada wearing Jasmine (in the form of essential oil) on my wrists...Something I picked up from the Ex. Makes me think of you when I smell it now.
