1140 ki local

So we changed the laptop keyboard and I still did not start writing. I have run out of my favourite excuses that is maids, children, house....All is well.And guess what, I feel low.I am not required to run around. I am not needed to fix things. This sounds like the theory of non existentialism. Hope Nietsche has the heart to forgive me.

Train journeys are interesting if I know my destination is close by. I can never locate the ladies first class so was in the general one. In Mumbai, we call it gents first class.I was the only lady and the guys were talking dime a dozen.We had a South Indian guy asking a student about his studies, he said he is appearing for CET. The Gujju next to him said "Oh haan ! MBA MBa." The student says sheepishly "This is for medicine. Mr.Gujju said "Aaj kal kissi ko business karna hi nahin hai, saare naukri hi karte hai." Mr South Indian said "Double degree ke bina kuch nahin hota hai aur jab tak aap padh ke nikalte hai , koi naya jyada hit degree aa jaata hai.You must try nature therapies in BLR." He explained yoga, organic food, neti and the concept of eating no salt no sugar diet to them. The thin and the fat gujju had never heard something like this. The thin one said "So they must be giving substitutes for salt and sugar eh." After trying his best, the Mr. SI said "May be you wont understand now, but after four years you may go to do this programme."
The train had reached Mahim, it was time to get up and start moving towards the gate of the compartment. All three people stay in my mind as I have my evening cuppa caffeine and linger over life, exposure, knowledge, innocence, sharing, listening all in a non judgemental way.

Nange Paon in Navratri

-
When I was working and staying in the hostel, I kind of stopped believing in most festivals and rituals. I thought all this was some weird things which people did, it had no scientific base and why should I follow anyone. In the college hostel, vacations were time to go home and not connected with any festival except Diwali. Sophia College hostel was a cocoon in the heart of South Mumbai. The campus with an old palace building was a quiet oasis with trees and birds, in the mayhem of Mumbai. No festival touched it unless the college celebrated it. The Polytechnic had rock shows and one Dandiya night every year, which it soon stopped having by 1988. Only celebration was the Vegetable Biryani in lunch on Sundays. The Polytechnic hostel did not even believe in pampering the children with food. Memories of bread being there round the clock for breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner. For them, while the non vegetarians ate eggs for breakfast, the vegetarian had bread. And then when non vegetaria

Shraddh period in Hinduism

-
According to the Hindu calendar, this is the shraddh period going on.  For fifteen days in a year, the ancestors are remembered and prayed to. No auspicious events / ceremonies take place in this time. People use the tithi/date of death to invite a Pandit and feed the departed soul. It means you remember the person passed away, give food to the Pandit and the crows. People keep a cooked meal on the terrace. They try to make the favourite food of the departed person. My memories are of my Grandma mixing and crushing all the savouries with her hands and when it was in form of  a paste, my Uncle would go to the terrace and throw the food for the crows. Crows in Hinduism are considered messengers of the departed souls. A lot of people feed Gathiyas to the crows for the full year. If your ancestors are happy, then your life goes well ,is the general belief amongst Hindus. The shraddh period falls exactly between Ganpati and Navratri. One does not buy a house or have a wedding in this time.

Antakshari

-
Today we were playing antakshari at the Holi get together. We did not know any new songs so naturally only the golden melodies were being sung. The whole generation playing antakshari was singing the similar era songs on the alphabets they got. I realised a couple of things. In English language there is no game like Antakshari. How many sentences end with I or The? How can you sing when most songs start with I, The, Once, When and How?I cannot resist explaining the game, we all grow up with, in India. Antakshari means Ant : end , Akshar: alphabet ie last letter of the word. Akshar also means God. It also means God has the last word. Its a game with two teams and we call the teams as  'party'.  We say "Baithey baithey kya karein, karna hai kuchh kaam, shuru karo antakshari , le ka Hari ka naam." Translated from Hindi, We are sitting idle, lets do some work, lets start antakshari, starting with God's name. In Indian games, there is a lot of religion or belief in Go
