Kishore Kumar - the legend lives on

We grew with the Voice...whatever the song, it went straight to the heart...made us laugh...made us cry...it just made us a part of the song...you never realized how many songs you listened to...you felt like a 'jhumroo', sometimes you were asking for 'paach rupiya bara aana', to someone special you serenaded 'ek ladki bheegi bhagi si', got into a picnic mood with 'dekha na hai re socha na', cried with 'zindagi ka safar hai yeh kaisa safar', but made you love life with 'zindagi ek safar see w hai suhana', romantic with 'sagar jaisi akhon wali' and 'raat kali ek khwab Mein ayee'. I could go on and on, but no words would describe or express the place in our hearts which is occupied by the one and only...Kishore Kumar...

A lizard is seen...


A lizard is seen...all hell breaks loose...a shriek fills the air...you realize it's your better half...next you hear a command..."Yatin, hya paalila baaher ghalva nahitar kaahi jevan milnar nahi...lifting a big stick I enter the battle field, which is the kitchen...it is already empty of all the human denizens...I see a very healthy lizard high up on the wall...it's eyes on me...i gingerly try to just poke the lizard to move...in a flash it is at the other end of the wall...i am encouraged and bang the stick on the wall...then the unexpected happens...the lizard jumps suddenly to the floor...i make a quick withdrawal to the hall...the lizard is again the king of the kitchen....as I gather my courage to again enter its domain...my heart beats quickening and adrenaline flowing...I see it going behind the fridge...2 bangs of the stick near the fridge and suddenly I see it scooting towards the window...another blow on the floor and this time"STRIKE" ... the tail is shed and the lizard is out of the window...i let out a battle cry which sounds like the cry of Tarzan mixed with the cry of a hyena...all the family suddenly converges on the kitchen...there are high fives all around and I am honoured with 5 gun salute of the cooker in the kitchen...oh, what an adventure...that day I am fed all my favourite dishes and treated like an all conquering king...Does this happen at your house too...

the rains

The rains have arrived...and so have the little frogs. Especially in the night, while driving the car, in the lights of the headlamps, you see them crossing the roads by jumping in front of the car. Even if you are in a rush, you slow down to let them pass. Frogs are just an example of the different rainy season species which come to life in this season. There are insects which you can see only during this season, many of them making your home their abode. And these insects are so short-lived that the next morning they are just part of the dust in the house. Another species which are seen in a new light are the avians...the birds, their feathers wet with rain water, trying to take shelter in any small space of your house, and you can almost see them shivering with the cold. And last but not the least, are the homo sapiens - us humans, who try to find little joys in the waterfalls by the side of the mountain roads  or take in the thrill of salty water of the sea, crashing against the side of the roads, especially at Marine drive and Worli sea face.                              so guys, where shall we meet to enjoy these monsoons...
