Puff the Magic Dragon
This song *NEVER* fails to bring that odd-childish tear in my tired old eyes. So much so, I refrain from listening to this song in public!
Now the question that bothers me for QUITE a few years (Since Denali Training.), off and on, is: who am I?
Copied and pasted from FaceBook.
Is every *M*iddle finger worth it’s 3.2 grammes of weight that you KNOW that you don’t deserve?

Libra : – Most of the pieces should now have been fitted into an emotional jigsaw. There may be one or two items still causing some doubt, and if you have any sense you will rely on your experience rather than vague hopes. And that’s before you even begin to apply your abundant [...]
“Doobi doobi aankhon mein hain, sapnon ke saaye;
Raat bhar apne hai, din mein paraaye.”
My Father presented me with His Digital Diary, Casio SF-R20 in 1993. He took a backup of it in his newer model and gave the thing to me with all its paraphernalia, the two memory cards and the data cable et al.
I was pretty sure that He shall be with us for ever and hence [...]
Yesterday I went to the marriage and later reception of Jaideep, son of Gursharan Uncle. I met many of my Father’s old friends and was especially impressed by the unforgettable social skills of Raman Saluja and his devoted wife.
Had two large ones of Smirnoff Vanilla on both occasions. Came home and slept.
Now come the dreams! [...]
I went to the voting booth early as to avoid the rush. I should not have!
There are 20 votes at our address. (My Father was an MLA from this constituency and hence many people got themselves registered at our address)
ALL the names were there except mine!
Tried to inquire with the officials and they said, “It [...]
Yet another sleepless night.
It is 6 AM now. Unless I knock myself out, sleep does not endorse/embrace me in my present condition! And knocking myself out is something I am trying OH so hardly hard, not to do. For how long? I would really love to know. For how long?
A Woman’s Work is Never Done
Woman’s Work
Early in the morning she rises
The woman’s work is never done
And it’s not because she doesn’t try
She’s fighting a battle with no one on her side
She rises in the morning And she works ’til way past dusk
The woman better slow down Or she’s gonna come down [...]
Women, of our times, are liberated. Working side by side with men and machines. At times, 24×7 shifts, as in call centers and other BPOs.
Methinks, all companies try to make their product look better and costlier/expensive-er/un-cheaper than it actually is.
However, this pen that I got form Ahmadabad is a total paradox!
The dear designers at Zhenjue (there is no website) have actually worked on the design to make it look less expensive than it is.
This one looks like a gel [...]
How many online-networks
Must one join
To have arrived?
If
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating,

There is quite a lot that has happened over these few months and might even be written over here and shared.

Today, again the same happened. For how long, I do not [...]

.30 SpringField US Carbine, shot using Nokia N-73. I was trying to provide some basic protection against the elements, as the monsoon is approaching and the care-taking abilities of Police in India are well known.

I was with Aunty, who’s nursing my very high Blood Pressure. Then it was the 3rd consecutive Holi Day and my Father’s BirthDay.
This one goes to my most dear best-est friends who, presently, are going out of their way to placate and appease me, on these very frustrating and saddening days.
Valentime Day ??? I feel that is one stupid day there for the marketers and people who fall for them!!!
Love requires NO TIME to express and manifest itself….
In order to get chickens you have to HATCH the eggs and not break them.

Last night reminded me of the night when I heard the news about Mr. Rajiv Gandhi!

What is jealousy?
Jealousy is one of the most prevalent areas of psychological ignorance about yourself, about others and more particularly, about relationship.

Go And Catch A Falling Star
Go and catch a falling star,
Get with child a mandrake root,
Tell me where all past years are,
Or who cleft the Devil’s foot,
Teach me to hear mermaids singing,

And find
What wind
Serves to advance an honest mind.If thou be’st born to strange sights,
Things invisible to see,

When the body was first made, all the parts wanted to be Boss. The brain said: “I should be Boss because I control the whole body’s responses and functions.” The feet said, “We should be Boss as we carry the brain about and get him to where he wants to go.” The hands said, [...]

Dear Jack,
I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind, thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. I have no feelings whatsoever when we’re apart. I can be forever happy – will [...]

Hey! You!
There is, methinks, one “Hi” and ONE “Bye” per day in normal social intercourse.
Gawd only knows what her agenda was.
There was a “Hi” and then after a some time, maybe 45 minutes or 3 hours later, another one!!!
Then there was that innocuous touching that is considered to be the first tender steps of flirting. [...]

Deathwish
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A deathwish is English idiom for the complete disregard of one’s own personal safety, well-being or best interests.
For example, an individual who walks alone and unarmed in an area notorious for mugging may be said to have a deathwish. A deathwish does not necessarily [...]
