How TIME Flies

The Tsunami in December 2004
The Floods on 26th July 2005
The Bomb Blasts on 11th July 2006

I still remember, I was transfered to Nariman Point on the 6th of July. I had to spend half day at the Lower Parel office and post lunch be at Nariman Point for that particular week. Hence I missed the blasts at Matunga. I was very lucky, but not everyone was.

Today, I remember that dreadful day when so many lost their lives for no fault of theirs. So much destruction, pain, tears, loss. BUT, the terrorists are still moving scott free. Will they have a feeling of guilt in them, or will they be only too happy to attack once again?

Wah Taj Boliye



The Taj Mahal has the love of not just our Indians but many from abroad too, as is obvious from the voting system. I stayed awake till 4 am to hear the announcements and was elated that this amazing monument continues to remain a part of the Wonders of the World.

But and I mean a huge BUT

This marvelous work of art has to be maintained and what better way than we as citizens do our duty of not throwing litter around or scribbling on walls and spoiling this beautiful masterpiece.

Three Cheers to Shah Jahan and his team for being extremely creative in an era where there were not many creatively educated persons.
Grafitti for the Week!


Make Love not War
Because Condoms are cheaper than Guns
How Friendship Breaks?


Both Friends will think the other is busy and will not contact thinking it may be disturbing.

As time passes both will think let the other contact.

After that each will think why should I contact first. Here your love will be converted to Hate.

Finally without contact the memory becomes weak. They forget each other.

One fine Day they will meet and blame one another.

So Keep in touch with all your Friends.
I AM THANKFUL:

FOR THE WIFE
WHO SAYS IT IS DOSA TONIGHT,
BECAUSE SHE IS HOME WITH ME,
AND NOT OUT WITH SOMEONE ELSE.

FOR THE HUSBAND
WHO IS ON THE SOFA
BEING A COUCH POTATO,
BECAUSE HE IS HOME WITH ME
AND NOT OUT AT THE BAR.

FOR THE TEENAGER
WHO IS COMPLAINING ABOUT DOING DISHES
BECAUSE IT MEANS SHE IS AT HOME,
NOT ON THE STREETS.

FOR TAXES I PAY
BECAUSE IT MEANS
I AM EMPLOYED.

FOR MESSES TO CLEAN AFTER A PARTY
BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE
BEEN SURROUNDED BY FRIENDS.

FOR CLOTHES
THAT FIT A LITTLE TOO SNUG
BECAUSE IT MEANS
I HAVE ENOUGH TO EAT.

FOR MY SHADOW
WHICH WATCHES ME WORK
BECAUSE IT MEANS
I AM OUT IN THE SUNSHINE

FOR A LAWN THAT NEEDS MOWING,
WINDOWS THAT NEED CLEANING,
AND GUTTERS THAT NEED FIXING
BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE A HOME .

FOR ALL THE COMPLAINING
I HEAR ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT,
BECAUSE IT MEANS
WE HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH..

FOR THE PARKING SPOT
I FIND AT THE FAR END OF THE PARKING LOT
BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM CAPABLE OF WALKING
AND I HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH TRANSPORTATION .

FOR MY HUGE ELECTRICITY BILL
BECAUSE IT MEANS
I AM Cool.

FOR THE LADY BEHIND ME IN CHURCH
WHO SINGS OFF KEY
BECAUSE IT MEANS
I CAN HEAR.

FOR THE PILE
OF LAUNDRY AND IRONING
BECAUSE IT MEANS
I HAVE CLOTHES TO WEAR.

FOR WEARINESS AND ACHING MUSCLES
AT THE END OF THE DAY
BECAUSE IT MEANS
I HAVE BEEN
CAPABLE OF WORKING HARD.

FOR THE ALARM
THAT GOES OFF IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS
BECAUSE IT MEANS
I AM ALIVE.

Live well, Laugh often, & Love with all of your heart!
So much depends on You

"I got two A's" the small boy said,
his voice was filled with glee,
his father very bluntly said
"Why didn't you get three?"

"Mom, I've got the dishes done"
the girl called from the door.
Her mother very calmly said,
"Did you sweep the floor?"

"I mowed the grass" the tall boy said,
"and put the mower away"
His father asked him with a shrug,
"Did you clean off the clay?"

The Children in the house next door
seemed happy and content
The same thing happened over there,
but this is how it went:

"I got two A's" the young boy said,
his voice was filled with glee,
his father proudly said "that's great,
I'm glad you belong to me"

"Mom, I got the dishes done,"
the girl called from the door.
Her mother smiled and softly said,
"Each day I love you more."

"I've mowed the grass," the tall boy said,
"and put the mower away"
his father answered with much joy,
"You've made my happy day"

Children deserve a little praise
for tasks they're asked to do,
if they're to lead a happy life,
so much depends on you!
