I've been meaning to blog about this for a while now. When in my aunt's house in England, we had cereals and fruits and nuts every morning. I enjoyed that breakfast.

Everywhere we went in the UK, I saw old and elderly people. Many of them. Lots more than I've seen walking on the roads in India.They were invariably elegant in dress and manner, most of them had smiles and a kind word for Puttachi, and they carried themselves with grace and dignity.Some of them were so old that they were stooped, wrinkled, barely able to walk, and yet they came shopping alone. One old lady took one minute to walk one metre, holding on to a walker. No exaggerati(...)

Say No To Hitler Style Relationships

Author:Barkha      Blog :Barkha Dhar's Blogs on Social Issues    Date: 2/18/2010 4:02:00 AM

 If anybody had to get a hindsight of who Hitler was not just as a leader, but as a person, then learning about him through his sayings would be a flashback of terror. Most of his quotes on waging a war, emotions, leadership and governance, revolutions, and struggle indeed are passionate, but also pugnacious. Hitler seemed to be a man defined by extremism and belligerence, which certainly was a boon to the Nazi rule. Hitler, as a leader would be always remembered as a great war(...)

The joy of walking

Author:Shruthi      Blog :Hallucinations!    Date: 3/5/2013 3:43:00 PM

One of the nicest things about our new place is its proximity to Puttachi's school.  Though I drive her to school (as of now), I bring her back walking. The lovely thing about coming back walking with her is that I hear all her school news, hot off the press.  We are lucky to have a quiet, tree-lined road part of the way, and as we walk, Puttachi swings her bag, and skips along, ponytails bouncing, and she chatters away.  Contrast this with driving back - my eyes are (...)
