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"

    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...

The Blessed Curse "Nostalgic flashes" !

   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...
