Brief history of time: my edition

This was a day when school friends got together...the diabetics had cake and sweets, the teetotalers had drinks and the gym going ate a lot of fried food and ended up a "bit" drunk ...all in all a lot of rules were broken today in the excuse of it being a one off...the child of the lost ark returned home for a brief visit...we wish her mom good health...! The place where we ate was called Mulk incidentally.

 

 

  It has been ages since i took the opportunity to swing the flag around...this year just happened to be the one...many people post independence feel patriotic about this day...some feel like they can take their freedom for granted...me on the other hand...i don't really go all out in the colors of the flag...but I'm quite a bit nationalistic...quite a bit conservative...and quite a bit of a kid singing those happy songs in my mind...leading the  mind readers to their own "graves" in my own sweet way...best part is they don't even mind :) maybe they don't understand...the matrix is never meant to have all the keys to the universe in one place...they are distributed all over the place...and well hidden...some in plain sight...life has been one roller coaster ride...from those streets where they sold our lives for a dollar...to these streets where the grid is too kind and provides protection and affection...we are wary and we are aware...for it is not everyday t...

  Anagha was in town and everyone was generally taking each other's case...it seems my not being able to afford marriage presently is a hot topic! :) Anyways, i was there for all of 10 mins as i arrived directly from Pune...thanks for waiting up folks...!

  Today is a sad day...i had to put my pup to rest...it has been a solid 13 years of memories...be it having to kiss her bye every time while going to Pune...or having to follow her into the garden to "protect" the other cats loitering around...or having to put up with her middle of the night woof...or trying to teach her to fetch the ball only having to do it myself...i will always cherish the proud stubborn lively mischievous dog that she was...it is sometimes crazy that we lose the ones we care about the most...i guess...she has her peace now wherever she is headed...i wish her freedom...i wish her a beautiful next life...i wish her a better life than this one...i wish her everything she ever dreamt of in her unending dreams...i wish her life be written in a book of gold in her next life...may you fly with the angels my love...i don't really know how to end this write up...for once I'm speechless...and in tears...!

With the few people in my world that i still care about :)

  At the Versova Sea Food Festival 2024 with my cousin...outstanding food and arrangements as always...! Thanks Sachin and Datta Kaka for suggesting where to grab some food :)

Its not everyday when your college group gets together after a span of 25 years to celebrate the occasion of a reunion...each one of us has travelled through time at zip speed and the past 25 have been a breeze...everyone had their own experiences to share...our guest of honor was our principal from college days Dr. Kranti Kumar or KK as we affectionately used to call him...folks travelled from all over the world ranging from Australia to the US the long way around...it was a nice time and hats off to Sheetal and Prakash to start early last year to get people on one WhatsApp group...not everybody these days has time for WhatsApp groups much less for folks who have not had time to meet up for 25 years...somewhere i guess that thread of a connect having gone through the rigors of an engineering college like TSEC led them to accept the invitation during their super cramped up India visit...folks patiently introduced themselves to KK and then it was KK's turn...dinner was served and we...
