Hmmmm...: De-Mentor
http://silenceofthesea.blogspot.com/2008/07/de-mentor.html
Jul 8, 2008. It was a lazy Sunday afternoon. Kids of all ages, and from all backgrounds, playing cricket on the road. Mother is overseeing the garden. Daughter is giving her company. A green bolt from the blue whips through the air, hits the compound wall, ricochets from there, and in one swashbuckling move, sweeps Mother's favorite plant off its feet. The breathless sapling bends in double, and becomes a hybrid creeper. The little and not-so-little fellas crowd near the gate. Where is your house? Just t...

Hmmmm...: Economies on Rice.
http://silenceofthesea.blogspot.com/2008/05/economies-on-rice.html
May 9, 2008. On a sultry summer evening, with the humdrum humming of the ceiling fan coping up with a low voltage, as the background score:. A live and let live policy seemed to have established itself wordlessly in the household. Both mother and daughter are deep into their magazines, daughter curled up on a chair with a film review; mother squatting on the floor, lost in a vernacular women’s weekly. Father, his eyes still glued to a swashbuckling Dhoni, replies in all earnestness, “Oh no! A cross betwe...

Apr 27, 2008. Just Wondering - 8. Has Krish Srikanth become one among the "US Re-turneds? Or is he working part time at a call center? PS : Was watching Chee-ka twist and roll his tongue at the Set-Max Studios, as the CSK thrashed the KKR at the IPL match yesterday. Missing his inimitable cheeky Chee-ka Chennai commenting ishtyle. :(. Apr 22, 2008. Short Notes on Life - Memories. They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel - Carl W. Buechner. Apr 10, 2008. The auto dr...

Hmmmm...: May 2008

May 27, 2008. I get this inexplicable delight whenever I spot a best seller or a famous book, at the pavement book hawker’s. Call it a vestige of middle class upbringing, but the day is made if I manage to steal a deal after hours of harangue, fully acknowledging in a remote corner of my mind, the unprinted pages, the typographic errors and other minor flaws that lurk within those glossy covers. Maybe the lack of pressure to finish a book (now really owning them), or sheer intimidation by the length of p...

Hmmmm...: September 2007
http://silenceofthesea.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Sep 30, 2007. Chak De, So they say! I am really happy about India winning 'a world cup'. Even if it has been in a form of the game new to most of the contenders. And even if Lady Luck did more than smile upon the Boys in Blue (BIB). But not long ago, an underdog of a sport, unfortunately one that was once India's pride in the commonwealth, did a heroic resurgence after decades. A bunch of non-descript Indians won the Asian hockey Cup, with less or mediocre media mileage than they deserved. Our poor cousi...

Jun 23, 2008. Of Hawks and Eagles. Whenever you have a problem in life, become a hawk. Soar into the sky. Zoom out so much that the problem becomes a tiny little green pea. Stay zoomed out at this precise altitude for a while. Till you enter a stupor. Then zoom in again. Zoom in so fast, that everything around you is a blur. Stop Brake at a height where the problem turns into a piece of cake. Now, continue to zoom in. Make a dash, headlong, eyes closed. On the Lighter side. Jun 8, 2008. On the Lighter si...

Hmmmm...: August 2007
http://silenceofthesea.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Aug 25, 2007. Just Wondering - 3. Why can't the mysteries of Death also include the means to perpetrate it. Aug 17, 2007. Charity Begins at home. I am writing this on the last few days of my stay in a foreign land, on a business visit. A charity sale was going on in our office. It was a cookie-candy-pizza sale as a fund raiser for the Alzheimer’s disease research. Colleague: what is going on? Why are there so many cookies and Pizzas? Me: It’s for charity. To end up in the politician’s pocket? Some may li...
