It happened all of a sudden, if my memory doesn’t betray, in the mid of the year 1992, and honestly the incident, which I am to pen down, had far reaching consequences, and led me being human, changing my views and feelings towards life. As a struggling young man, desperately in search of a high paid stable job, I used to go miles, wherever there seems a small ray of light: opportunity. This deliberate act landed me in Shillong, the capital city of Meghalaya (India), also known as “Scotland of India”, to attend the final selection as Manager (Customer Relation) in “Polo Towers”, the reputed star category hotel in the heart of this picturesque hill station. What was the outcome is not the topic here, so let’s jump cut this episode. Police Bazaar, in Shillong, is a heaven for any and every idler worth his salt and as usual, it was my favourite place to hang out too. I was quite distracted by the variety of this place in contrast to memories of my own city and I often used to roam...

There's a lot to look forward in 2018, and here are some of the coolest attractions  from family theme parks to excellent museums.  😊😊 Let's check out...... Aerospace Bristol, England Bristol, is the home of Concorde. The supersonic passenger jet was largely developed here, and the UK assembly line was located here and all UK Concordes made their maiden flight from the city’s runway – so the last Concorde ever to be built takes pride of place. In 2017, a new £19 million  state-of-the-art museum  dedicated to Bristol’s airspace heritage opened to the public. Aerospace Bristol Human Tower Museum of Catalonia, Valls, Spain Valls, 65 miles west of Barcelona, is the place of origin of the Catalan tradition of building  castells  – human towers of up to ten stories, with the strongest forming the  pinya , or base. In 2018, the town is set to open a museum dedicated to the 200-year-old feat of strength and teamwork, and nearby Tarr...

I know you well . It’s true that I always had a little trouble with your name, but I do know your name, just I don’t know at this moment .  We’re  at a big party and have kissed hello. We’ve had a delightful conversation about how we are the last two people on the face of the earth who don’t kiss on both cheeks.    You are so charming. You had been to my house for dinner and I read your last book.  If only I could have remember your name. It’s inexcusable that I don’t. It’s something like Roger. Only it’s not. Rodrigo? That’s not in either. Your last name: three syllables, starts with a c. Starts with a g? I am losing my mind. But a miracle occurs:   The host is about to toast the guest of honour. Thank God. I can escape to the bar. I will spent the rest of the night scrolling through the alphabets in an attempt to come up with your name…  Have we met?  I think we’ve met, but I can’t be sure. We’re introduced, but I d...

Driving my car back home one evening, I rolled through a stop Sign  .  I was stopped by a police sergeant, who recognised me as his former English teacher. “Mrs Brown,” he said “those stop signs are full stops, not commas.” :)) ____________________________________________________________________________________ Days passed since I papered the town with my resume but hadn’t receive a single phone call   . So I decided to take a closer look at the copies my husband has printed at his real estate office. I quickly realised that he hadn’t put blank paper in the machine. At the end of each copy, written in bold, was a common real estate disclaimer: “The information contained herein, while deemed to be accurate, is not guaranteed.” _____________________________________________________________________________________ A customer called to complain that we had billed her for electricity on her long-distance phone bill  . One of our agents explained t...
