Irony

Rama and Sita are considered to be the ideal couple in Hindu mythology, but we all know about the hardships they had to endure. They did not "Happily live ever after". Is it becos they remanined true to one another always? I think I'm missing something.

Tiny dancer

Love this song by Elton John! Its just fabulous!!
Oh and I finally listened to Stairway to heaven! Loved it too! :)

Life...

Heard the following line was quoted by the lead singer of the band Moksha who is no more apparently!!
"Life is a sexually transmitted disease"
Come to think of it, it cannot be more true sometimes.

Shakespeare

Was having a casual conversation with friends about English grammar and I realized that Shakespeare is the only English playwright/poet/writer/actor that i know! Maybe I know some more ppl, it still hasnt dawned on me yet!!

Baby smell

Just love the way they smell. Esp after a bath. They smell of johnson's baby powder :) I'll go buy one today!!

Lok Sabha

The Lok Sabha representing the Indian people is a very funny place. Where else can one see politicians throwing punches at each other! Poor speaker has a very tough time managing the rouge MPs of our nation. Today I witnessed one such episode on tv. It was hilarious!

Tatha's bureau

My tatha's bureau(cupboard) was the object of my childhood curisoity! I always always used to wonder what he kept in it!! He used to always open only one door and do some thing or the other, what he did I still dont know, but I always wanted to peek and see what treasure it held.
So after he died, we i.e. all his grandchildren held a grand ceremony to open the old, ancient (one belonging to the British Raj days) Burma teak wood cupboard. And boy oh boy did it smell only of napthalene and nothing else! But my tatha being my tatha was extremely neat and organized. What we found left us very disppointed cos it had only some papers which my astrologer tatha used as reference material, papers he used to keep track of who owed him how much money and whom he owed money. Of course we also found some of his cute hats and walking sticks and coats that he proudly wore only when he went to the US! :)

Coming to the cupboard itself, well what i can say, it is my tathas and has been in our family for the last 60 years!! It is an antique piece which today is standing very nicely in my bedroom. It still smells of napthalene and reminds me of my tatha so much! :) Hats off to those carpenters for giving it such a fabulous finish. It is incredible!! And I am proud that we i.e. my sis and me dint let my pati sell it off to some one else! :)
