Remembering Maa

Image
 Maa It's been 5 years now emotionally and 1 year physically that you left us. 5 years because you were never the same after Papa went away. I have seen what a devastated, depressed person looks like. I never saw the same sparkle in your eyes when you laughed, never the same zeal in doing anything. I never in the remotest of my thought imagined that I will ever see you like that.   Since 2014, I never prayed or bowed before Goddess Durga as she took away my father first and then you in 2019. I kept complaining to her for not seeing our pain and loss until few months before I realized that she saw your suffering and your pain which was much beyond ours. You taught us everything but you missed to teach us how to live without you. I have lots of things buried in my heart because there is no ears around for me.  Today i came across this poem which matches my grief. I am certain that both of you are together now, I am sure both of you are still tirelessly praising each ot...

EATING FACES ARE THE HAPPIEST FACES

Yesterday I was at Haldiram's - Noida (a very popular eating joint) with my family. As usual, there was full packed crowd and every one was busy either taking their orders or arranging their places to sit. Suddenly, I observed the faces there. Despite of packed crowd, no one was getting annoyed or irritated unlike what i observe in other crowds.

A very simple example, the traffic signal. One second delay to move your car means, a line of horns getting blowed at you and the passing car will give you a frown. But see, the crowd at any eating joint and observe the difference!!! Poeple are happy to wait for their order. Even if the delievery of the order is late, and kids start getting annoyed, the parents will try to cheer them, and will make them learn to be h...

The austerity mantra: Rahul Gandhi

Image
It is a new process started by our politicians......We call it AUSTERITY........ The Gandhi scion travelled to Ludhiana from Delhi on Amritsar Swarn Shatabdi Express. The motto was to save the government funds in the era of recession. It is indeed appreciative that our khadi wearing people have finally entered the cost cutting mode alike the common mass working in the private sectors. I agree he saved a lot of money but my question is was it really a worthy effort! He travelled by Shatabdi convincing us that he also wants to understand the problems faced by common people...... Here i shoot my questions to Mr. Gandhi..... 1. Do you really think that people travelling in Shatabdi / Rajdhani represent the COMMON people? 2. Do you realise that how much problems it would have caused to the poor (common) people, present at the railway station at that time because of your VVIP arrangements? 3. Do you realise that while your guards stood in the C-3 coach, what real time problems they caused to...
