As the long Indian summer days stretch ahead of him, a young boy looks forward to his favourite time - painting-your-nails-time. He knows that when he dips his brush into those magical bottles of nail polish, he will find a colour to express his every mood and feeling. Purple is the colour of magic and mystery. White is the colour of endless possibilities. At times, his Papa frowns and says, 'What have you done to your nails?' At other times, he says, 'Why don't you paint on paper instead?'
