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.

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

On a daily basis I keep seeing a number of blogs online and have been impressed by a vast majority of them while a few leave that sour feeling . If you search on Google with the keywords " How To Blog" you will come across a huge number of links that will give you access to a plenty of literature on how you could blog and how you can actually make a fortune by blogging. My take on blogging is that it is a very simple art from with no rocket science behind it. It is so simple that even a novice can take to it without any training . However there are a few prerequisites for blogging. You would need a good command over the language that you are blogging in. Here I am not talking about rich vocabulary but simple sentences without any grammatical/spelling errors. No Flowery language is required, rather easy to understand and comprehend language will do. You would need lots of patience to get to the top. Blogging is not a reach the summit types with your first blog. It i

An Ode to The City of Joy and My Dear Departed Father 1.0

  As I try to revive my  tryst with blogging, I ponder over what could be the best way to pen a few words. While blogging might be out of vogue, and out of fashion, I realize that my love for words will continue unabated. I commit to writing more, and loving each bit of it, the best way of doing a Sri Ganesh is to write an ode to the City of Joy and my dear departed father, both inseparable parts of me. In fact my late father Shri K. Subramanian was a true Bengali, even his last days his eyes would light up and shine bright at the mention of Kolkata or a Bengal Sweet Delicacy. When he was into his last few days, and it became increasingly difficult for us to make him have his food, my wife Hema asked him if he would like to have Mishti Doi, immediately the hundred watts bulb in the pupil of his eyes lit up and he repeated "Mishti Doi, Mishti Doi". I would want to admit a hard truth here. In the early days of his passing away, I was downcast, depressed, buckets into tears, my
