Whether one should watch 'OMG - Oh My God' movie or not?

For that matter, this applies to all movies...

  1. The like or dislike of someone may not be same as yours.
  2. Any movie may be liked/disliked according to one's mood and company while watching.
  3. If you see a movie after someone's opinion, you may find the reverse.
So, if you have time enough, money enough and company of your choice, see any movie and forget the rest!


Expectations from "Facebook Friends":

  1. Do share your thought-cycles, emotions and events... friends expect that!
  2. Do respond to the post you see on your home page by comments and whatever you feel like... That is a must for any friendship!
  3. Do send your greetings on birthdays, wedding anniversary and other important events... If you do not feel like posting to someone, he/she is not your friend, better delete that name.
  4. Do not share too many quotes, songs or articles; they make the home-page filled with such materials, and important messages get hidden... think over this, it is important.
  5. If someone else has opened your Facebook account for you and you are never operating it, better ask the same fellow to delete the account. Your friends may not know about your passivity!


Whom to praise? My medical college hostel-partner for six years (1969-1975) and co-student of M.B.B.S. study, Dr. Chhotubhai S Patel passed away at the age of 62.

In spite of vehicle, telephone, mobile and other modes of connectivity, I visited his home only twice in the last 35 years and the third visit was after his demise. This is the real life story of two friends staying barely 30 km away. My friend was straight forward, kind and had all the characters of a good friend. My son Rahul and my daughter Vaishali can tell me just the opposite story of their connectivity with their friends and frequency of meeting their friends.

Then who is to be praised? The older or the modern generation..??

One has to earn enough to realise that money cannot buy happiness. First you have to reach the stage of needful money earning - that is a must.

So, the poor cannot realise this fact!
"Reply"!

Every letter, SMS or email addressed to you should be replied to as a mark of good courtesy and respect for the sender.

What is your view?


Before demanding death, have you received the "No Objection Certificate" from your children?

At a certain age, a person gets tired of one's life and starts waiting for death. During the lifetime he has passed, it is quite possible he/she had a great career, so-called success and enough earning. But a sense of frustration, unhappiness and dissatisfaction prevails leading to depression demanding the end of the life - death.
My three true stories with explanations for poor English word power.

Because of exposure to television, internet, mobile and other gadgets of telecommunication, modern day child is far more intelligent than her/his parents and grandparents. He has great vocabulary not only in English but also in Hindi and Gujarati. But what was it like in the past? To know that you have to go through this article.
Camera is an optical instrument used for photography.

We normally hear about, or find the below four types of cameras:
  1. Conventional with manual focus and picture-roll.
  2. Digital one without roll with most of the functions performed automatically.
  3. Video-camera having only video facility, also known as cine-camera and
  4. Camera in mobile-phones and hidden detective camera.
One of the most important chapters in the Indian history (and equally so for Pakistan) is the partition of the nation in 1947. This article is a review of the book “The Tragic Story Of Partition” by H V Sheshadri.

ABOUT THE BLOG

When I started writing on my blog, I used to ask myself if I should write at all. If yes, why? I would like to share my views on this topic with you.
I write for myself. This may sound egoistic, but it is self-explanatory as well. Because I want freedom from my thought cycle, I get mental catharsis by just writing out whatever it is. While having some serious events with myself, say the death of my mother first and then father, writing down makes a record of my emotions at a given time which I’m never going to repeat.
I do write for my daughter Vaishali, son Rahul and their friends. I want to tell my experiences and let them know about me. I have done this in Life At 60 article series – it is my mini-autobiography, telling all about me. Article on Marriage, Parents in old-age homes, etc. are other such articles.
