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 ...

Someone once said "despite the best efforts, you refuse to die"...been a while...i keep thinking of all the events around me...i wonder if God allowed it just so i could study and learn how the code flows all within in this human context...i know that there are "stars" out there that can see through my eyes and listen through my ears...don't know where they got this "tech"...i have always believed that the mind readers have been a very gullible bunch [that chicken and rooster story is going to be so very short lived]...downside is over the past twenty years after returning from the US...i could have been real high in the establishment...karla@tinker tailor soldier spy comes to mind...but is there a point of allowing them to get information from my eyes and ears...iv'e tried my best to keep my silence...and iv'e tried my best to stay away from all approaches...don't know if mother India will excuse my "laziness"...i know i wo...
