  Nana (my grandfather) would have been 100 years old today...i still remember all the good times...he was as hardworking in his years, when i knew him, as ever...one with grit and determination...always pampering us grandkids no end...was a bit strict...though i usually was a very well behaved kid and never got a proper scolding from him i think its the best times that i always remember...the world has many interpretations of his life...some remember him as a strict boss...some as a good neighbor...some as a good friend...and some as a great relative...been an interesting life...mainly because i knew he always had my back...from buying me my first cricket bat to my first bicycle...my first carron board lesson...my first card trick taught...i cant count the blessings...always spending his evening with a drink of his usual whiskey and some snack to go with it...taking me along in his car for visiting far off corners of the city to inspect various industrial units and their security ...

A short vacation to Ranthambore and Bharatpur in Rajasthan...! - 1 :)

A short vacation to Ranthambore and Bharatpur in Rajasthan...! - 6

 This visit to Fatehpur Sikri was memorable for the reason that even though i do not know what the moghul empire did to my country, the fact remains that these will be part of our history always. The inlay used to be gold with real emeralds and diamonds...the idiot British looted it all back in the day. They say the wishes at Chisti's Dargah always come true as long as one never divulges them...so i made three wishes one with each string and raised a chaddar at his grave...this is an expensive endeavor from my perspective but as my family said...its a once in a lifetime chance...so i did it...! Budget be damned..!
