Trek to the Holy Tango

My brother inlaw (eldest sister's husband) passed away untimely after a prolonged illness on 15th August 2014. He was sixty three years old. 

Height of Patience!

A lady with a funny name sent me a friend request in Facebook. As a normal process, I went to her profile and checked whether she was someone that I knew. She had only two pictures, that of a flower and a small child and nothing more as to indicate what her real name was, where she was from, what she did, etc. I instantly rejected her request. 

All for an Extra Piece of Betel Nut

Just for few days, I have decided to chew only the betel nuts (without the pan leaves so as to avoid reddening my mouth) This episode Just happened at a Panshop:

Follow The Heart!

(Contributed by : A guest poet (NW) who wants to remain annonymous :-))


How marvelous this organ called human heart;
It enslaves the brain and makes it command the body;
To journey to a destination where the heart wishes;
Though togetherness in life is next to impossible!

I'm Back!

I had always believed that my blog was only confined to a small world made up of my  closest friends with whom I had pushed forward my vanity and shared the ‘web address’ and that, except for those few dedicated audience, it was not accessed or read by any others.

Leave Of Absence

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both,
And be one traveler,….

 

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
(Robert Frost)

The Virtual Reality - Facebook

I feel terribly guilty for not being able to update my blog for quite some time now. The last few days had been really busy days for me and more often than not, I had been bombarded with lots of adhoc activities so much so that I’m always worn out when I reach home as a result of which I’m just too lazy to get myself working on even planning to write new posts, let alone actually posting them. However, I did keep myself updated on my Facebook page, thanks to the frequent alerts that I get on the Facebook application on my iPhone.

Pictures of The Pink City

My friend and myself flew back to New Delhi this morning after an eventful three days visit of the colourful city of Jaipur. Besides the businesses that we had to attend to, we took the opportunity to spend considerable time in exploring the invincible forts, magnificent palaces and the serene scenes of Jaipur. The city displays diversity in forms of its culture, customs, costumes, cuisine, dialects and rustic music. The place is a juxtaposition of color in bustling bazaars, in wide ranging costumes of its people and the irresistible gamut of art and handicraft souvenirs.

Scenes of Travel by Air

My colleague and myself came to Jaipur last evening after connecting to the Jet Airways flight from New Delhi. The capital city of Rajesthan, Jaipur is known globally as Pink City and is recognized as one of the ten most beautiful cities of India. My Indian friends associate Jaipur as the epitome of a vibrant and colourful living traditions in India, attracting lovers of art, history and architecture.
