The Bootle Bum Trinket. With grateful acknowledgment to Larry Durrell, via Gerry. Friday, September 5, 2014. Happy Teacher's Day daddy. That was the beginning of a lifelong journey of fun and learning for me. Time flew, and before we knew it, class eight was over. At that time we were not too sad though, as we knew that we would be back in class nine in a matter of a few months. Daddy has tried to teach all these to his students as well. His eternal sorrow lies in the fact that so few of the. He often la...

The Bootle Bum Trinket. With grateful acknowledgment to Larry Durrell, via Gerry. Tuesday, January 8, 2013. A very happy New Year to everybody. As promised, my first post this year is going to be about our trip to Delhi and Agra. The trip was short and we didn't go to very many different places. However, it was also one of the best trips we have ever been on. Vacations for my mother and I started on the 20. We knew then we would be late, but didn’t think it would be eight hours late! The drive to Agra wa...

http://urbiblogs.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
The Bootle Bum Trinket. With grateful acknowledgment to Larry Durrell, via Gerry. Saturday, April 27, 2013. My ICSE examinations ended on the 20. Of March. It has been only over a month now, but it feels like another lifetime. 20. My first day of school was 16. The school has a good library, from which we can take books of our own choice, unlike in my previous school, where just half a dozen books were given to us from which we had to take one! But the mall-culture is virulent here. It is there in Du...

Then, being made up of these same molecules, are we anything more than space ourselves? The last earthly route to heaven. The most powerful woman of the age dies a lone figure on the icy crevices of the mountains, left behind by her five husbands, and finally comes to term with the purpose of her life and death. Are codes of conduct made for the benefit of human beings, or i...

The Bootle Bum Trinket. With grateful acknowledgment to Larry Durrell, via Gerry. Thursday, June 5, 2014. The 'Great Books' of today. Lately, I have been reading some of the latest best-selling ‘young-adult’ books that have created waves among the readers of our generation. They have brought up certain questions and observations in my mind, which unfortunately are in great contrast with the worldwide enthusiasm and praise that have been showered on these books. Take the Hunger Games. But still regimented...

The Bootle Bum Trinket. With grateful acknowledgment to Larry Durrell, via Gerry. Friday, May 29, 2015. The best laid plans of mice and men. They say that Man proposes, God disposes. At no time is this dictum better understood than when tragedy hits. Lives change in a fraction of a second, and so many plans lie in ruins. Imagine my horror at that! I was so furious I could eat the man’s head. The dullard had no clue about the kind of anxiety he had put us through by his stupid choice of words! There are s...
