Reminiscence: Down the memory lane 2008-10-10 02:01:01 Way back in late fifties, I had one Marwari friend in Calcutta (now Kolkata). Let us call him Govind for the sake of identity. His father was a simple, generous man, totally uneducated. Though uneducated, if you asked him the amount of interest on a loan of Rupees 45000/- at 3.5 percent for nine months, he would come up with the answer in less than five minutes. He did not need any paper-pencils o
What's in a Name? Plenty... 2008-10-08 02:02:00 As a young boy I used to go to a Gujarati school along with a few neighboring boys. During recess and after school hours in the evening we used to play different games in our school compound. We had a big boned boy in our class who was at least six inches taller than the rest of us. He was quite a bully. He wanted to have his way in every game we played and behaved like half-mad. His name was Hars Read more:Plenty
Cricket antics 2008-10-06 00:09:39 As a student I went to a school, which had plenty of sports facilities and a big enough playground of its own. It was a co-ed school but in those days in early sixties, boys and girls did not talk to each other. Socially it was not accepted. Of course, there were a few bold ones who defied the rule but they too talked furtively making sure teachers were not around.Every year, after final exams, a Read more:Cricket
The Good and the Evil 2008-10-06 00:09:18 I once went to a colleague’s sister’s marriage in Delhi. This was about thirty years back. The ceremony and reception etc. went well. The guests were from some small town near Ambala in Haryana. They were very proud and happy for the respect and attention they received from the girl’s side. When all major events were over, they demanded hard drinks for Baraties, which was promptly provided b
Cease smoking 2008-09-29 05:11:00 To cease smoking is the easiest thing I ever did. I ought to know,I have done it a thousand times.- Mark Twain
Musings of a muse-The gang 2008-10-22 03:25:31 In the late sixties I worked in a private firm in Dharamtella area of Calcutta (Now Kolkata). It was a small office having a staff of little over twenty- all male- of various ages from middle twenties to fifties. The members of the staff were on cordial terms with each other. But we were a group of four, two Bengalis Dipak & Roni, one Muslim Shahed and myself, a Gujarati, all bachelors, ages Read more:Musings
What now? 2008-12-09 01:40:50 The war with terrorists is over. One captured alive and nine dead, or so they say.Now what? Now nothing!The sentiment of our politicians is clear from the utterances of our beloved leader R.R. Patil to the effect that such small incidents happen in big cities. How cool. Somebody should explain to Mr.Patil in the language he understands that it was an invasion, not just an incident. Hundreds of peo
Terrorist Episode 2008-12-09 01:34:22 Even nature is gloomy for the past few days after the terrorist attack episode in Mumbai, India. Yes, episode. I say episode because I feel terrorist attacks are like our Television serials. Longest running serial for that matter. In TV, serials like Saas-bahu last for four to five years, some last a little more. Whereas our terrorist serial is running for the last 15 years or so, and is likely to Read more:Episode

Musings-Simple Kapoor 2008-11-23 22:59:19 When I read about the great Indian singer, Mahendra Kapoor
’s death, I felt a jolt. It was as if I had lost a part of my existence. I had grown up listening to Mahendra Kapoor’s songs and I was his big fan.Though I don’t know much about his background, I was very much impressed by his simplicity. A few years back, I chanced upon as interview he was giving on a TV channel. He was simply attire Read more:Musings
