And how Time has changed!

I was forced to wait for over an hour with a lady relative at the waiting room of a famous Ob/Gynec specialist today. There was a TV screaming instant recipes for all kinds of snacks and eats. Obviously aimed at those few women who want to dish up nice food in the kitchen, it was a huge bore for me. And then I found a couple of mags - Time and India Today. What fascinating stuff I read! Here is a sampler:
1. A heeled shoe, all glitter, which is actually a church! Wow. What would be the fate of a modern temple to Ram? It would be shaped like a beer bottle!
2. A 100 year old writer Hermann Wouk talks about Israel and his sense of priorities...
3. Time waits for none. And none reads those heavy books anymore. So one liner summaries from War and Peace to Moby Dick!
4. The fate of cancer patients in India - 70% come too late 70% die in the first year. And a chronic shortage of specialists...

Interesting time indeed.

The links given there are real, the story seems true but it is pure fiction.  In the beginning I thought anyone could see through my humour but later I found people believing what I had written. A Hungarian Jew even approached me to take the research further as he was searching for his roots!

I wanted to show somebody that one can say anything and publish anything and quote all kinds of evidence with no real core of truth.

Such specious arguments and fabricated truths are rife on the Internet and as they say, “Buyer Beware”!

Have a nice day.

When Summer Cycles In

Our summer comes early.
Before the rest of India feels the heat and dust.
So much so Chennai blokes feel happy Banglore is as hot as Madras.

Summer is here when we hear the ice-cream and elanir vendors down the street.
When we see vehicles shimmer at traffic lights.
When we clear the dust off ceiling fans.
When we ask for butter milk instead of coffee.
When sabhas remember Ramanavami.
When newspapers and mailboxes talk of holidays.
When kids are seen in street corners on their way to summer camps in colourful clothes.
When power-cuts make an ugly appearance as an offset for IPL peak-loads.
When mangoes make their appearance with suspect colours and fancy prices.
When we sleep on the terrace.
When kids cycle like crazy all around.
Yes, summer cycles in here. It's fun time!
