"Breaking The Ice"

-
"Breaking the ice" has never been an issue with me.Be it striking a conversation with a gentleman,a lady or one of those weired strangers,I am always instantly at ease sliding into a 'right chord' with people of all sorts. You know why.!because I always,religiously keep myself updated on everything that's an 'happening'. I can talk at length about Tiger Wood's infidelity,though I may not be exactly sure about his 'handicap'. I can also just talk and talk about that book called "Eat, Pray, Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert. I also can debate 'minutes on end' about 'economic slow down' and on those 'growth engine' that thrust those "Richie Rich" straight to the Forbes's list. You see finding myself so updated,I never thought there will be any need to talk about "the weather" simply to "break the ice".
However with passage of time I realise that lots of filth and garbage has flowed down the rivers,seas and oceans across the globe,sending the entire 'earth into a crazy makeover. Very soon we will witness glaciers melting away and winters becoming sweaty & warm. Well the time has arrived for "me you and us" to stop to notice "the crying Earth and the weeping shores?" beyond Michael Jackson's "Earth Song".
"Let me,you and us" join to make "Global Warming" a serious universal concern and do what we should,so that someday tomorrow we don't start breathing fire & filth and suddenly stop "dreaming to glance beyond the stars" It's been a while,I know I shouldn't have kept you waiting for "breaking the ice". Let us all come together and join hands for a cause that can preserve our cultural and agricultural heritage for future generations. "The fate of the living planet is the most important issue facing mankind." so let us work on it.

    I was the youngest of the 4 siblings and the only son ,but that  never  made me precious and  pampered by the family. My father was in the army. We all  grew up in cantonment environment, hopping almost every 2 years  from one Cantonment to the other  Like from Allahabad’s Draupadi Ghat we came to Calcutta’s Fort William and  then to  Bangalore Cantonment  Bangalore was the only city where we  remained stationed for almost 5 years before getting  shifted to Delhi Cantonment in 1961, 4th of July to be precis It was the year 1959-60 and I was about 10 years old  studying in the 6th form in the Army’s  Regimental school . Around this time my  father decided to put me into “King George Military School” .This  was a ‘day’ Boarding School exclusively for Defence personnels . It is now called “Rashtriya Military School”. There was an aptitude test which I cleared but failed the written test. I was happy, a...

DE LHI Gasping!!

Delhiites have turned   indifferent to the " Toxic Air" that they breath  They have stopped bothering about the "smoke screen " that is keeping away   "Sun light"  from giving them the ray of "HOPE"  to keep their lungs "Sun Shined" . Like "AGE"  for them now  even the  AQI (Air Quality Index) has become a sheer number .They have long since stopped reacting to the AQI  shooting up. They have lost their "JOSH"" to protest for their fundamental right to breath. Delhi is the very seat of the duly elected "POWER".  of  World's largest Democracy  The "custodian" of this Democracy reside here  at   "7 LOK KALYAN"  but remain hardly visible in and around the city This  "custodian"  continues to remain the very "Most"  'Frequent Flier' of our Democracy and  the only  'STAR '  campaigner for the political party that he comes from.    Getting re-elected...

   When you already  know a little about the  book it does create an  interest “Blessed Curse” was just that.  This book is about an  Indian middle class household  that is holding together three generations in generous harmony with all those ifs and buts about the generation gaps  The book undoubtedly is  an inspirational read  especially at a  time when the concept of   “nuclear households", remains a widely spread idea among the Millennials  It recalibrates your mind to question , debate ,accept and  celebrate every generation’s point of view  This book is the story of Jagdamba Prasad & his wife Pushpa Devi living with their son, daughter in law and grandchildren in one of the colonies of East Delhi’. The author in this book takes the reader through good, bad and ugly about each generation. The beauty is, it does not come as a bout of episodes but as “cosy chats” between the members of the family...
