Strawberries,cherries &guess what..!

I am not a computer addict in the strictest sense,though I accept that I normally remain highly engaged with my computer.I hardly play any 'computer games' other than an occasional game of Solitaire. My social networking site begins and ends at "Linked In". I don't indulge in "Orkut",and neither 'Face book' has any time made me 'compulsive' enough to register.
On the other side my wife normally keeps herself disengaged in the strictest sense from the computer. However when she starts playing "Bloobs" or "Free cell" then 'we' the rest in the 'family' very often miss the 'evening tea' and at times made to skip the "dinner". I would say she remains a 'classy' example of a "computer addict".
Now ever since my wife, joined the "Face book", she has turned herself something of a "Farmer". I find her completely engrossed in buying, cows, pigs sheep and going across to her neighbor's farm for cleaning the "weeds". "Farmville",the Face book's latest "game application" is keeping everybody, go "clicking" the "key boards", crack at "dawn". To cut the crap, I now find myself suddenly engaged in 'ploughing' my farm.Call it 'wifely' influence..!
Currently I am busy growing 'strawberries' and 'cherries', but I need to grow grapes, for that I need to reach a level "19". Now if you are a 'wine" lover you will understand the importance of "grapes". well while I am at it let me put on this number..."Strawberries, cherries..and an angle kiss in spring"...I bet we know "summer wine is made from all this things"..what say "Nancy Sinatra"...
Congrats..."Face book".....I am all set to rock on my "Farmville"

In conversation with Bapu....

With 'Sare Jahan Se Achcha' and 'Abide with Me'the Soul-stirring martial tunes and solemn drum beats at the majestic Raisina Hills the "Beating the Retreat" ceremony marked the conclusion of the week long ceremonial functions of India celebrating her 62nd year of Republic.As the illumination lit up the edifices of Imperial India..my thought reached out to that day into the history of independence that finally dropped the curtain on a life called "Gandhi"...the man whose experiment with truth may not have jelled with today but his name has truly become the brand that remain most misused & manipulated both in trade & politics.As I key-in these lines I can read out the conversation that would have transpired between the "soul of Nation" (SON) and "Mahatma Gandhi"(Bapu)....Read on what I read..... SON: Bapu it's me,are you sleeping....? BAPU: How can you ask that...don't you know this day in the year 1948..I was gu...

But 'PAPU' Can "Vote"...'Sala'..!

"Sala".. is a generally accepted slang for both 'hum' the "Hindustani" and 'tum' the "Indian". Together this "HUM TUM" make the "Aam Admi"of the world's largest 'democracy'. This is our "INDIA".I agree with the TV ad that almost says "My India Strongest" in spite of the "Everest" of issues that surround her. Normally in this country the fate of the 'ordinary' people ie 'Aam Admi' always remain woefully harassed, pushed and frustrated through the year. However at the close every 5 years this 'Aam Admi' suddenly become extraordinarily powerful and remain wooed by all 'big,small and sundry' political parties of the country. Yes it is time for General Election. In the coming months for the 15th Lok Sabha, 714 million eligible voters would be 'bee lining' to the ballot boxes across 29 states,6 union territories to elect 543 members . 'Jaago-...

Just about...being a "Father"

A new world greeted them with smile and happiness when they... "Just met" and soon for them the wedding bells rang... Now, they are happily lost in their own world & together are learning to set- up a 'Home’ of their own... away from what was a home for them a little earlier in the year....That's "his" daughter & "his" son in-law. ..Being very adorable, the house has become little less chirpy after her moving out….. …."He" now does feel the boredom...but will never show it off... Because "he" is the father ...and expected to put on a stern face & always remain a 'matter of fact' person..... He is all set to explore & build-up a learning curve that may see him well in life in about a couple of years from now. After his graduation he may probably start living away from home in a distant land in pursuit of excellence...That's "His" son Being the darling of the house, "he" is...
