Sauntering Down the Memory Lane - Three Decades Later

Wije & I were in one group and once a GF flight came pretty late and with big dead loads in & out too

To add more misery, the flight was overbooked as well.

He & I managed to finish our work ahead of time and sitting on the ledge of the old departure building near the gate.

Counters were not closed then and we were waiting for someone from GF to come and get the clearance to board the flight.

Usually, KP does this and instead of him, Kamalini M came to the gate and looking at the aircraft which was parked right in front of the gate.

Wije asked her what she was looking for and then she said KP had told, "Today I do not have to worry about the Ramp" and she was looking for who was handling the flight, as it was all quiet then no activity under the aircraft.

One of the Best Compliments, we ever got.

Wije was elated and said "How can I delay my own aircraft", confusing Kamalini more.

To put her at ease, he said to her "Look at the Registration of the aircraft".

It was A40TW Tristar.

Sadly, she did not get the joke.

Not only he was a good worker, but he was also extremely witty too.

It was a pleasure working with such guys in the past.

Rolling stone gathers no moss but it will get well polished.

It is a Choice !

Remember when elections come nearer; "Air is full of promises and promises are full of Air" only.

The past behaviour of someone is a good yardstick to measure the likely future performance of the same person.

Remember as to why we all had to leave the country to earn a decent living and the future of your young kids too.

If you think that your action today will ensure a good future for your kids and family tomorrow, then you are free to do whatever you choose to do.

But do not forget that you will be held accountable for your kids someday of your action today.

Take the right decision, not for your own future because we are almost at the end of the wick now.

But kids today do / should not have to endure and experience the same that we all have gone in some form or the other.

Let them go out and see/conquer the World in their terms and not on anyone else's terms.

It is time to change the "Pecking order" of society today.

Will they stay a "Bonded Slave" forever or a "Free person" is not luck, Karma vipaka or whatever you want to call it, but a Choice.

Make the right choice for those who have no voice or choice right now because they are just Kids today.

Demand accountability and meritocracy to be installed in the country.

I am sure, my family and I can survive in such a society and thrive too. 

Ask yourself, will you be able to fit well into those big shoes?

You be the judge.

Follow your heart.

Good luck.

This is My Clothesline !

Good old days, every house (should I say almost all) in the villages had a fair amount of front garden as the land was not an issue then and they were spread well in any village.

One thing distinctive in the beautiful front lawn was in one corner of it, there were Clothes Lines to put their washed linen to dry under the sun.

No Gizmos, like Washers and Dryers then and all were hand washed and dried under the Sun always.

This clothesline was used subliminally to showcase one’s possessions and status symbol as well.

Fast forward a few decades to the front and things have changed quickly.

With the population, explosion gizmos have taken over the world.

Houses are so close to each other now that one can hear his or her neighbour snoring in the nights and not many front gardens anymore.

With this change of scene, the Front Lawn clotheslines too have gone missing.

For a period of time, many were lost not knowing how to expose their stories and wealth, of course subliminally with the missing clotheslines in their front lawns.

Then the Social Media platforms have come and taken over the world today.

Nowadays it has become the vogue and it has surely replaced the much loved and much missed front lawn clothesline.

Today, many use them as their clothesline and use them for the same subliminal purpose.

Sometimes, someone washing his or her and or someone else’s dirty linen is visible but the majority still uses it for the same purpose as a few centuries ago.

For one purpose only and that is to subliminally showcase one’s wealth and status.

Those who had no big front lawns with clotheslines then do not know what to do with these Social Media lawns now other than being envious, resentful and bellicose.

This is my front lawn clothesline now but I do not hang other’s washed dirty linens here.

Instead, I showcase my Mood and Wealth here.

But if my clothesline upset any in any way, it only tells who they were real and not me.

My clothesline, my moods and my wealth.
