April 21....15 years of Engagement!

-
15 Years of Engagement... of getting into an agreement of relationship.... with a completely unknown person... a chance taking affair... a gamble... 50-50 possibilities....

Sometimes I feel, so baffled about Indian (arranged) Marriages. How come a person readies him/herself to stay the remaining life with a completey unknown person?!

Uh!...
Let that baffleness remain and have no time to unwind it now!

Gonna celebrate the occassion anyway!

  In T ribute to Kargil Vijay Diwas! On this Vijay Diwas, the 25th Anniversary of the Kargil victory, the Nation pays tribute to the brave soldiers who exhibited extraordinary courage and resilience in extremely challenging conditions on the Kargil Sector.  527 brave sons of Mother India made their supreme sacrifice for Her honor!   Hundreds were injured, many with permanently disabling injuries. I take this opportunity to pray for them, thank them for what they did for the Country and future generations, and salute them from the bottom of my heart.   The Kargil War Memorial, also known as Dras War Memorial, is a war memorial built by the Indian Army in the town of Dras, near Kargil city in Kargil district of Ladakh, India, commemorating the 1999 Kargil War between India and Pakistan. The memorial is located on the Srinagar-Leh National Highway 1D, about 5 km from the city center across the Tiger Hill, Kargil. The central feature of the memorial is a pink sandsto...

89 Class Artificers and the ‘Get-Together Saga’ I belong to this wonderful group of people from pan India; Simply we are known as 89- That’s it! We are the 89 th class of Artificers who joined the Indian Navy as Apprentices in Jan 1987. Since then, we together have completed training, active service and eventually retired after completing the contracted defense service period.   Originally, we were 225- but now reduced to 214; missing 11 have left for heavenly abode earlier than expected. Out of the 214, few are non-reachable as they have ‘deserted’ from Navy long back, and lost their whereabouts, sadly! Much later to our retirement and thanks to the social media revolution, we started communicating with each other, again through various platforms. We have rebuilt our connections on the strong foundation of our once existed emotionally bonded relations. Many of our friends resurfaced from their seclusion and stopped being ‘incommunicado’! This phenomenon was not limited to...

  89 Class Artificers and the ‘Get-Together Saga’ - Part 3. On 30 th Aug, by noon time, the 'supposedly' air-conditioned bus reached the accommodation to transport us to Araku Valley. It will pass through the Airport to pick up the last group. Journey to Araku Valley is incredibly picturesque, offering stunning views along the way- if only, someone has peeped through the windows!   The road is filled with numerous hairpin bends   which add a sense of adventure to the trip. The weather was wonderfully pleasant and ‘sexy’. Occasional fog and the light drizzles frequently occurred should have added a refreshing touch to the atmosphere—  As the 'charging' continued on the bus, too, everyone was engaged! The driver made sure that no one slept, by sudden breaks and frequent bumps and jumps! Nothing could pour water on to the fun on the run! – even the leaking roof of the bus!    Fun on the Run! The lunch break at the enroute restaurant along the hill side was ...
