Hey, look at the sky!

The big Elephant God sat high up there in his couch, munching on mirchi bajjis, which if you haven't ever tasted, you must, and which goes by the description of being slit big chillies, dipped in gram flour batter and deep fried! As he munched on his sixth one for the evening, his little secretary, Rags, the rat messaged upto his big ears about his time to paint. It was time to change the sky paint again. Hmm, acknowledged the big one to Rags and motioned him to get him his gold slip-ons. Slowly he finished his sixth bajji, took a sip of the warm tea, slipped on his gold slip-ons and went to his easel by the window. Hmm, he grunted as he chose the colour, he played a little selection game and finally picked up orange, in one of its very pale forms. With that flat woodwn brush he took generous amounts of paint from the can and spread them across the sheet. When done, he took a step or two back to get an idea about the result. He nodded and went back to his paint collection and picked that very light sky blue, thinned it adding water and using this colour, he blotched the sheet, orange a moment back. He looked at the effect and smiled to himself, a smile of satisfaction. I looked up at the effect too and I smiled to myself too, a smile of awe at the beauty in nature!

That qvtdx was a part of word verification when I submitted my comment, which got wrongly typed. I hate large word verifications :(
