Passing Thoughts

It is not very uncommon to see upturned umbrellas due to breeze during Mumbai monsoon. It was one of these occasion when I thought this :

Was this feature knowingly accomodated in the architecture of the umbrella to shield the person from getting off-balance due to the force of the wind OR is it just a serendipity.

SHORTS V/s LONGS

As the 158 Years of a firms History is fast getting registered as HISTORY, I may find myself SHORT on OPTIONS but LONG on Experience.

"Some Experiences cant be gained Intentionally, I am privileged to have some."

I Was There

Years later, when I read these lines, I would recollect that - I Was There when it unfolded.

The Phoenix lost his strength to be reborn.

Believe me First Hand Experiences are not that GOOD.

A Day at Shepherd's with Nanny's and Granny's

I must admit I woke up rather reluctantly on saturday to the Chimes of my morning alarm. 6 AM is a bit early considering the rather long and tiring friday that has been. The devil said "Keep Sleeping. You dont even know if the philanthropy event is still there or if it has been cancelled."
He was true. I was not sure as i was not able to follow the meetings and communication by the co-ordinators due to rather busy week.
Then came a voice - "Go and check. it only means 3 Hrs of to and fro travel. If at all the event is not there, you can always come back and sleep your heart out."
It was reasonable.
So I went there, reached in time and to all my wishes there were 11 other volunteers too. It was a pleasant time with all elderly ladies at the Shepherd's Home for Widows.
We talked to them, served them, played with them and entertained them by our jokes,songs and other performances.
On my part i told a few jokes and did an Impromptu bhangra.



It was heartening to see a few octogenerian ladies singing and Dancing to the tunes.
We parted at mid day with promises to return.
