Daily Musings- Day Two

-



Yesterday was as interesting as Day One of my musings. The work place shifted and quite a bit of running around. First day out after a few months, I have lost count of how many....Its quite strange that I have even lost count of the days and the date. Monday is a Monday and Sunday is also a Monday. Occasionally I look at the bottom right hand corner of my laptop and notice that it is 16th July 2020. 

Casual Labor come in mask mode. I serve them up hand sanitizers to rub across their fingers, check that they have no infections before allowing them to start packing up. Pandemic time and people on the street have realized how serious the issue is. Everyone has masks on while a few have chosen designer colorful variants. Those who choose to unmask themselves are basked in foolish bravado. Work from Home has become even more hectic and tight as there are lot of things that need to meet the deadline. 

Long time since I dropped by at Ashwins home at West Mambalam. A Quick Hello from Prithi, a nice blooming smile and a generous enquiry to find out if all is well. Indeed All is Well, so far so good. Aadhya and Akhira the two little darlings wave a Hello as well. 

Customary enquires from young hopeful cricketers to get into Gennext Super Cricketer. I give them a patient hearing and answer to their queries. The Competition has moved into top gear and the productivity from the team, the judges/coaches has been mind boggling. The True essence of a reality show boils down to the quality of the contestants and the unbiased opinion of the judgement, Both have been top notch. 

Late evenings is when I love to indulge in Binge Watching, this time it is Abhishek Bachchans Breathe into the shadows on Amazon Prime. I was impressed by the way Junior B has emerged from the shadows of Big B. Comparisons were bound to be there between Father and Son but Junior B has definitely emerged in the web series. Curiously enough I connected with Mr Kuldeep Singh who has a major part to play in the series.

Day Three begins with yours truly cooking up Roast Potatoes, the wifey approves the taste and I live up to my promise of a short and sweet post. Hoping to keep tapping the keys tomorrow. Till Then Alvidha, Shabba Qair, Have a great day. God Speed and Take Care.

A Letter from a DieHard Fan of BigB to Shoojit Sircar

Dear Shoojit Da, At the outset let me state categorically that I am a Huge Big B Fan but after seeing Pink and Piku I must admit that I have become your fan as well. I have no qualms to state that I am a Indian by birth and a Bengali by heart. I have spent all my childhood days in Kolkata, studied in Don Bosco, Park Circus and so you can call me Kolkataar Chelay. The reason for writing to you is actually based on your tribute to Big B in your Article in TOI. I wholeheartedly endorse each word that you have written. You have worked with the legend and therefore there is authority in each word, and as factual as it can get. In my early formation years I have been much enamoured by him. I tried to walk and talk like him. In fact I have broken my throat hoarse multiple times just to get closer to that baritone voice of his. Thanks to Dr. Ghosh and his throat relievers I could get back to my own voice. Dr. Ghosh on seeing me itself would state " Kee Karthik Aabar Tomaar Omita

Durga Puja-Part 1

It is special and very special in a particular quote that belongs to me. I have a certain birthright licence over it. The quote goes as follows: "I am an Indian by Birth, a Tamilian by Heart but a Bengali by Blood" This is very profound in the sense that I had spent all my childhood days at Kolkata. I have been blessed to have witnessed the diversity of our Indian culture even as a child.  Now back to my Kolkata days, There is a love story brewing a very special relationship between me and my father's Vespa WBN-8251. You got it right, it was my dads scooter that took me around the different lanes and by lanes of Kolkata during the Puja season. I would stand in front, hold the handle in from and vroooooom we would be off on a joy ride in the city of joy. As a child this interim period between Mahalaya was extremely joyous to me for two reasons and that sort of forms the crux of the entire story today.  There is the rich Tradition in Tamil Nadu to celebrate th

Mango Diaries-Page Four-Times of Covid and a Tribute to Unknown Soldiers

  Mango Diaries continues to evolve and surprise me with its sweetness and ability to charm its audience. I guess more than anything its the positive intent and inspirational real life stories that causes that bell to ring. Anyways in this edition of Mango Diaries, I seek to focus on how I managed to steer this negative mind of mind to something very positive and cheerful. It goes back to the times of Covid-1st Wave, initially the dark times accompanied by an eerie stone like silence and nothing but the shrill and occasional sound of the passing Ambulance could be heard. It was at the same time I had also lost my beloved father. Barely had i consigned my fathers mortal remains to the flames, within the next few days, I found myself in the ICU ward of a Hospital battling Covid myself. Such tough times, no one was allowed to visit me, surrounded by other patients, it was extremely depressing. It had come to an extent where I even contemplated running away from the hospital but guess I ha
