AFTER 38 YEARS OF LIFE…WHERE ARE YOU???
Each of us heard the phrase “Life is a journey”! Life not a singular journey. Every person has a different experience and destination! Life is a journey that we must savour, cherish and treasure. Everyone has a different meaning to their journey. This journey is filled with heartaches and achievements. On 7 th July 1983 […]
HOW DOES THE POLICE KNOW IF THE WINDSHIELD HAS LESS THAN 70% VLT?
Dear Sir, Greetings. My name and contact details are stated herein. Allow me to state the issue: The M V Act 1988, states that the front and rear windshield should be more than 70 percent VLT (visual light transmission) and for other windows 50%.

Har Dil Tiranga
I do not like the concept of ‘Har Ghar Tiranga‘. Nor do I like the concept of 75 years of independence ‘Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav’. Both in my view are meaningless. 75 years ago, we got Azadi. That chapter is over. There is no point in harping about the ‘sacrifices’ made! All those people who […]

Now It’s Time to say Goodbye!
How is it to be there? How lonely is it? Is it still growing red at Sunset? Are the birds still sing on their way to the forest? Can you receive the letter I dared not send? Can I convey the confession I dared not make? Will time pass and roses fade? Now it’s time […]

What is life after age 40?
At 55, I am qualified to inform about going downhill after the 40th year. You get into life with the presumption that you will never get out. The beauty and handsome you thought were hot during school / college days, have all transformed into wildebeests. In mid-40’s, one begins to experience all aches, pains and […]
