Day 1534
Jalsa , Mumbai June 30 , 2012 Sat 10 : 31 PM
The sporting is contagious. The Ef is curious. The family has given up. And the multi tasking suffers. Yet there has been an attempt to attend and give equal attention to most. To those that I could not cover with the yellow, my apologies. No preferences here. Just that a...
Day 1533
Jalsa , Mumbai June 29/30 , 2012 Fri/Sat 2 : 43 AM
Sports and sporting events are oozing out of every move or breath I have been taking for the past so many days. Appointments, schedules, meal timings have all had to go through a reschedule. Electronic equipments have had to be be updated and functional, in order that there is no stoppage because of them....

Oh ! dear, oh dear … Germany shocked by the Italians .. favored to win tonight, the Germans were just not in it from the very start. I think the first goal against them stunned them and the second within 16 mins took all hope away. This magnificent team, clinical and so polished in all...

My sincere apologies about the Blog yesterday … or should I say early yesterday … just forgot to press the post button and it remained in ‘private’ the entire night ! But some enterprising Ef’s who have had great liberty in admonishing and ticking me off at...

One of the most rewarding experiences in life is when you clean up or reorganize your cupboard, writing desk, a shelf at a critical location, the furniture in your favorite sitting area …. or …. coming across the change that shall take place soon on this...

Jalsa , Mumbai June 25/26, 2012 Mon/Tue 2 : 29 AM
There are requests in the time of the day, when associates, friends, media ask that I write on Blog topics that they suggest, giving reasons for it. I have stayed away from this demand. I have stayed away from it because I do not like being told what I should or should not write. I never pre plan or...

Jalsa , Mumbai June 24/25 , 2012 Sun/Mon 2 : 19 AM
The Football keeps me away from the Blog and away from any time schedule that is usually expected. But after a long arduous day at Floor No., 5 of the Film City, a location now often visited by the Panther or the Cheetah from adjoining National Park, getting cast and crew scurrying for cover,...

Agnes James : a very happy birthday to you for the 24th … Love happiness and prosperity always …
Quite undoubtedly the moment of the day has been the film ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’, which I have had the great privilege to see. Indian Cinema at its best, honest, stark and as painfully real as possible. For one...

Is the world lonely. Are those that inhabit it, living in sublime solitude. Do those that occupy this terrain, hitherto unknown to other parts of the Universe, feel isolated. Not just in their immediate existence, but within themselves. And do we aspire to perhaps, despite our loneliness, reach out to that one...

Jalsa , Mumbai June 19/20 , 2012 Tue/Wed 1 : 40 AM
Multitasking again and obviously not doing a very good job of it. Amid the fear of the Blog not coming back after they told me it was going off for maintenance routine overhauling, and the games being played in front of me, I have been torn between the two. Fortunately all seems well with the blog...

The need to avoid the multitasking, to concentrate, to give prime attention to, to avoid stealing the relevance of one from the other, to stress not the eyes and the neck from rapid movement – the two screens, Tv and Laptop, to follow in real time instead of recapturing the slowmo that replays, to...

Rajeev Sharma , wishing a very happy birthday to you .. be well and enjoy ..
Another Sunday and no sun .. it rains from the early hour and pours with vengeance, yet the routine of the well wishers does not alter. The weather is a bit of a dampener, pun unintended, but what can one say about this -

Football just got over ! And what a treat. Disappointment in one, and disbelief in the other. Poland lost to Czech Republic and Russia lost to Greece ! Russia out of the qualifiers and so are the Poles. So disturbing to see grief among the supporters. They come with prayer and love and enthusiasm and song and...

Change is inevitable and when one sits down for its execution, numerous thoughts ideas and interpretations come ‘Tumbling’ down. It is time consuming to get acquainted and at times disorienting from practiced norm. There is a sense of insecurity, not so much in your own capabilities, that shall be honed in time to come, but in the capabilities...

Such a delight to have given moments of delight to so many of the extended family on yesterday’s post. And to have gained so much from the roots of the many that come here to this platform. There was so much information that one never knew – of the migration to other...

Coincidences in life come without preparation or warning or design. I never did design the Sunday crowds, nor the coincidence of this bus passing by on particular date and time. Yet it happened and happened at a time when the photographer was without expectation. I was reprimanded for using the word...

How did the word ‘couch potato’ come about ? Ok … no need to explain ! I know when I see one, and I see one in the reflection of the laptop screen in front of me. Ha ! My occupation for the last so many days. An event comes to an end and another starts. Sometimes both run at the...

Birthday greetings to Tejas for the 8th of June .. happiness always …
You sit upon your chair, you think, you write and post it for the hundreds that come on to your site. You wonder whether if what you have written went down well with the Ef or not. And while you may have sent them all in a tizzy,...

Pushing now ! Pushing the body and mind to resume normal status. Its reassuring at times when the mind thinks the same as your body. It just spurs you up, brings back the spring in the walk, the world seems wonderful again, and most importantly you begin to feel that no matter what...

Home at last after a long but comfortable ride, a quick catching up on events and issues and into bed for an afternoon siesta. A film on the UFO on getting up, learning what has transpired since my departure and now the connect, the most important issue of the day !!

Time to cross the seas and the lands, to move yet again, without gain. The effort must never lack to try fresh avenues, discover agents of change perhaps, ones that may bring betterment in conditions. But if they do not, despondency must never be accepted. What needs to be accepted is the fact, the...
