At A More Personal Level

Hi All,

This Blog is written from the heart . So no hard feelings for those who feel hurt - family and friends.


Taking a cue from Julie Andrew's song "These are a few of my Favourite Things" in the "Sound of Music", may I add,a few things I hate most in contemporary India:-


Flaunting of recently acquired wealth, vulgar pomp and show. Refined display of good taste on special occasions is , however, welcome.

"Bossy/ Overbearing Wives". Never seen one in the family.But I think sorry for several meek and submissive husbands both in the family and friends. Do I sound like an MCP?

I do not at all grudge the wife occupying an equal, if not more important place in the home, than the husband. She definitely must have the final say in all matters pertaining to the home.What getas my goat is wives transgressing limits to encroach on the professional/ social lives of their husbands. Need I say more?

I also hate " the Maha Kanjoos Log" who are forever trying to sponge off others on emotional, social and official planes to save their Pennies for the " next life" perhaps.

I also hate lack of ethics,hypocracy, integrity, and psycohphancy, especially among the bureacracy for progression of individual career goals.

I hate nosy neighbours, lack of public hygiene ,mean,illeterate, ignorant noisy ( honking) and unruly road users; jumping of quues and lack of respect for the elderly.

That's enough hate for a day, I guess!

Meanwhile, Delhi has been experiencing incessant rains past two days. Like the good old monsoon when " Moosladhar Baarish" and " Jhari lag jaana" were oft heard phrases. This should surely wipe out fears of drought and rain deficit in the capital region and the north western parts of the country also improving the outlook for Kharif and Rabi crops,and generally bringing hope and cheer to the farmers.

Taking advantage of the late monsoon revival, I have removed some of my favourite plants from the beds and planted them in pots.This is also the time to plant flowering and fruit trees and shrubs and to repot your Bonsais that require repotting.The copious rains will also hopefully reduce the water scarcity in NCR, particularly in Gurgaon.
Sorry no pictures this time.
