Interesting reading.
Unfortunately not for me.
Reminds me of what my dad used to say as a phrase: "If you have hair, you can braid it any way"

Lahore - the border crossover

For as long as I have had the travel bug in me, I have wanted to visit Pakistan and specifically go to Lahore. I remember making a life list a couple of years ago and Pakistan figured top on the list of places I wanted to visit. I am asked by many - 'Why Pakistan?' - considering the strained relationship between our countries. I have the answer in two parts for them. a) My maternal grandparents hail from Lahore. As a kid, I remember spending almost every summer and winter break in Kanpur, where my maternal family shifted after the partition, and being nurtured with stories of Lahore, it's splendour and their life and times there. I was brain tattooed with Lahore and its stories. b) We are culturally akin. [I am a Punjabi] We speak the same language, have similar tastes in dress and food. We share a common bond of folk, sufi poetry and music - composed and sung in the same ragas across both the borders. And we share the same history. Punjab for the uninitiated is ...

Building Bridges

It’s been rather warm and sultry, rather very dull and uninspiring weather this past month and I stare at the sky for inspiration. It sure is mildly cloudy, few gravid with rain but they seem to have no intent of showering their blessings on us. I also receive a message from my friend, an avid sailor, halfway around the globe from Austin, Texas that there has been no rain for some time and the lake levels are depleting. Global warming sure is a reality and a tough one that needs to be addressed and understood soon by all of us. It is predicted that by the year 2030, the most precious commodity on planet earth would be clean water – not diamonds, nor gold, nor oil. My imagination goes haywire when I hear this. Many of us read and are led to believe that certain power hungry countries wage wars for oil, imagine waging war for drinking water. I shudder at the sheer thought and reach for my glass of water Back home, there is a lot of jubilation in the air on a new landmark bridge a...

Pedestrian Overhead Bridge

I drive from home to work every day using the busy six lane Sion Trombay road.For a short two kilometre ride I have to contend with 4 sets of trafic lights and no I am not complaining. At the same time when I am approaching my office, the three lane traffic in the opposite direction carying hundreds of office goers in public and private transport have to negotiate a section, before the Diamond Garden at Chembur ,which has a popular school in the by lane. There are no public transport bus stops in the vicinity and most school children seem to be dropped to school by private owned car's or by school buses.Most drivers have no respect for traffic lights let alone zebra crossings and this section was a chaotic crossing irespective whether you are a pedestrian or vehicular traffic. Till a few years ago, I could see that the school going children had a tough time crossing the road and getting to school.Recently I have seen a set of parents volunteering as traffic wardens and they rally ...
