Relationships that last forever.....

It has been quite sometime since i wrote a few lines. I felt a need to express my feelings to people who have added great value to my life in the last decade or so.

There are many more people than those mentioned in my posts who have contributed to my present living. But amongst them, if i were to choose those who made significant direct impact on my life, these are the people.

They have been there through my ups and downs. They have cried with me and have made me smile and smiled with me. They have added value to my life like nobody else and they just continue to do so with every passing day...........

80 is the new 40 - C'mon Pops, my evergreen hero :)..

As I sit down to put my thoughts today, words fail me. Not because, I have nothing to write. I am unable to figure out where to start from. But start, I must. Write, I must. I have never been the best when it comes to expressing my emotions face to face. I have always hidden behind the garb of writing/penning my thoughts down as an easier way out. Maybe, that is my comfort zone 😊! But this post is not about me. It is about a thoroughbred gentleman, because of who, I am in existence today – My dearest Appa 😊! I have tried to bring as part of this blog some known and unknown facets about Appa in no order as such. For those who know him for longer than I, please feel free to add in your best moments with him in the comments section. For those who don’t know him, I have tried to put some thoughts interlaced with memories. Many happy returns of the day, Pops! 80 does not come easy and to everyone. As we celebrate your 80 th birthday today, I bow in absolute gratitude to the God Alm

Can we be the voice of the Poor & Needy?

We as a nation were in euphoria, when our Honorable Government took extreme measures to evacuate our fellow countrymen stuck in different parts of the world to bring them back home safe amidst Covid-19 pandemic. Air-India and India Air Force charters were the bankable options. As has been the case previously, they performed admirably in the current crisis. Most notable amongst these were Operation Wuhan (723 Indian Nationals, 43 Foreign Nationals & 15 tonnes of Medical assistance including Masks, Gloves etc.) & Operation Italy (263 Indian Nationals). This was indeed praiseworthy as the Government showed empathy and care for Indians across the globe. A job well done and we as Indians rightfully felt a sense of immense pride! In the course of the past month and half, we have seen the Covid-19 crisis getting grimmer and more serious within India. Janta Curfew (14 hours of self quarantine on 22 March) was a success and a failure. Success because many of us self quarantined o

25th March 2020 – Unique Ugadi (Covid-19 ke side effects 😊)

Image
To begin with “Happy Ugadi” to everybody, quite late in the night after the festivities have ended. Ugadi is celebrated to usher in the new year as per the Hindu Panchang (calendar). A new year filled with hope of newer beginnings and success. Ugadi is usually celebrated in the South Indian States of Karnataka, Telengana and Andhra Pradesh. The same becomes Gudhi Padwa for Maharashtrians, Cheti Chand for Sindhis & Sajibu Nongma Panba for Manipuris.  These are unprecedented times for humanity. The entire world seems to be reeling in distress with limited visibility on the cure for the virus. Healthcare systems and workers are under stress like never before. Humanity has not experienced a situation like this in the past 50-70 years. Conversation yesterday with Amma went this way – “in my lifetime, I have not seen a situation like this where the country has to be locked down.” She got into the Club 70 last year. Just to provide a context, the wars of 1962, 1965, 1971, 1999 were
