Vice-versa in thirty years
1950 My father has a motor-cycle, he calls his younger friend Mr. X to wash it periodically and that's also a way he can give him some pocket money. Later my father gives the motor-cycle for repairs, The Mechanic tells him come today come tomorrow, And in the end he just gives up on the motor-cycle...

Someone completely well and fine one day, down with fever the next day,
said to be seized with one infectious disease the third day, and then another infectious disease on the fourth day, and yet another on the fifth day, and then lo and behold, pneumonia and other secondary complications set in. Boy, it can make the world go topsy-turvy for the relatives who are being...

When we have a different politics where trust, co-operation, discipline and
egalitarianism rule the day, we will have a new world. Some day, some time. And then the sun will have set on a new dawn. This post from me is come from me in dream mode. What's going wrong where? Do we want bombing? No. Yet we either justify the bombers or the bombed even though there may be...

It's been a hard day's night....reposted
It's been a hard day's night.... It's been a hard day's night but the night was a hard night too. Because there was so much else to do. So the day on such occasions sets for one the next morning at dawn. And one is ever so clumsy on the next dawn then. Dazed and not knowing whether you are coing or...

Is there a difference between dawn and dusk
Dusk is the dawn of the night isn't it? And dawn is the dusk of the night, isn't it?

If you saw a man who always moves around in the most expensive car
suddenly moving around in a bullock-cart, what would u make of him? What would u think? That he's gone bonkers? That sanity has prevailed on him? That he's gone bankrupt? That he's using his finances wisely?

A woman's role as a healer- what does that mean?
I just realised that our perception of healing has got so technical that we haven't taken into account the work that women do as healers in their families day in and day out. There are also the indigenous knowledge systems among women which for the most part go unrecognised and undervalued today....

When someone does something that you least expected he or she would,
it comes as a surprise and you almost feel as if the sun could set at dawn. I remember a school teacher who told me she'd stand on her head if I got a distinction in the matriculation exams and I got a distinction, and studied well, if anything just to prove it to her. This drove home the point to...

When rabid communalists talk of the need for secularism, or war mongers
talk about a call for peace, there is cause for concern or joy? As hope lies eternal in the human breast, you wonder: Has a miracle happened or has realisation dawned on them through a hard life experience? or is it about being a wolf in sheep's clothing?

I went away from your life, I won't come into your life anymore.
This is an sms I received a few days ago: I went away from your life, I won't come into your life anymore. Yes, I left about a month ago. I don't know whether you are happy or sad. Yours lovingly, 2005. But who knows given that grass grows in Siberia and it snows in a desert, who knows? 2005 may...
