Occasions offering family or friend’s get-together always used to be welcome events to me earlier but not so any more these days. I remember any occasion like marriage, thread-ceremony or any social party thrown for insignificant issues were awaited affairs for the D day. I used to get thrilled with the idea of meeting those whom I met years ago. It was matters of pleasure to find them again. No one bothered to ask what others are doing or how they are keeping. Just we were alive and had a chance to meet, that was enough. Meeting means going down the memory lanes, remembering some incidents or days we enjoyed or suffered together. The pains we felt at the time of parting was visible in eyes. Gone are those days!! I know not how many would share my view but now-a-days I feel lonesome in most of the get-togethers; may be this curse is prevailing in metros like Kolkata, Mumbai or Delhi . Where people seek business in pleasure and tend to remain in their own lobby for social or material...

His face was as fresh as it used to be on any other morning after shave. Only difference it was dry not wet as usually face looks after shaving. The eyes were closed, the lips bore faint smile; as if he was enjoying a dream during his sleep. A close look would reveal; no, it was not freshly shaved countenance; the tiny gray hairs shoot out all over the face; as they look in the evening; long after you shave in the morning. Why the shaving is so important! Well no one ever remembers seeing him unshaved even if when he used to be sick for long time. That was he; my father; lying on the stretcher mounted on a vehicle that carries dead. This was his last journey on wheels. He preferred bicycle and was very fond of paddling up and down to the Railway factory where he worked for more than 35 years. I felt he would have been happy, could I arrange a cycle rickshaw for his last ride. In a city like Kolkata, you know it was difficult to arrange or in that matter it would been very difficult to...

To-day, I logged into my Orkut account as usual but bit shaken finding a scrap from one of my friend there. We are old Air Force pals, obviously we joined Air Force at our teens and our jobs kept us out of society during those formative period of life. So important it is , we realized much later. Mostly when we came out of service and joined the main steam. I remember that 'Oath' taken by us at the time of 'passing out' from our training centers that we would place the interest of nation, its people, property much above of our own , while serving on land, sea or air !!! Later when we realized for whom and whose interest we served; it was shocking. Now the scarp I read, written by my friend goes like this  .." WE LIVE IN A NATION WHERE PIZZA REACHES FASTER THAN AMBULANCE & POLICE WHERE U CAN GET CAR LOAN @ 8% BUT EDUCATION LOAN @ 12% . 76 CRPF PERSONS KILLED MERCILESSLY BUT MEDIA WAS BUSSY IN SHOWING THE WEDDING OF SANIA & SHOAB; WHERE RICE IS@ 70/-KG...

Once a boy went to a shop with his mother. The shop keeper looked at the small cute child and showed him a bottle with sweets and said 'Dear Child..u can take the sweets... But the child didn't take. The shop keeper was surprised.. Such a small child he is and why is he not taking the sweets from the bottle. Again he said take the sweets.... Now the mother also heard that and said.. Take the sweets dear.. Yet he didn't take... The shopkeeper seeing the child not taking the sweets... He himself took the sweets and gave to the child. The child was happy to get two hands full of sweets.   While returning  home the Mother asked the child... Why didn't you take the sweets, when  the shop keeper told you to take?.. Can you guess the response: Child replies... Mom! My hands are very small and if I take the sweets I can only take few.. But now you see when uncle gave with his big hands.... How many more sweets I got! Moral: When we take we may get littl...

The travails of Gypsies « My Weblog

Ever since internet permeated into our lives; it has added something indispensable. Not because it is source of all information or offers various services online like paying your utility bills, online shopping or booking hotels, railway, airlines or transport tickets but it's popularity owes to social sites. Orkut of Google perhaps one of the pioneers to show the way; followed by several others. Right now I am not sure how many social or chat sites offer free social networking online. Besides Orkut, Facebook another sites seems attractive to me is www.shtyle.fm.com . The site is least known or at least not as popular as those like Orkut but it has some features that are interesting. One of them you can record your songs or recitations in your own voice and upload them for others to listen. They can rate your performance. The replay is fine and internet connections of lower potentials can offer better reproduction. Besides these there are several other features are available as you ...
