πTHE DAILY OBSERVER-24: 27 June 2020 / 03:33 π
Customary morning greetings began the day but the forward from Mohinder Pratap on Opinion was easily the message of the day.It conveyed in picture and word form that while it is kosher for one to hold an opinion, it is not so for an opinion to hold one. Do not let your opininions become your master, do not be judgmental. Shiv left after morning greetings and a prediction of a probable day of emotional outbursts and floods. Just picture the bus driver in his Fifti who takes out the DTC bus from the depot after wiping the windshield for the first trip of the day. That is Satbir. He has taken it upon himself to set the tone for the day with a greeting, some news and some jokes. Saxy was also very happy to see an item number as the day progressed. He kept posting jokes periodically. Politics and serious debate were studiously avoided. Sawant posted a message from the CDC of USA on how to be safe from Covid. Navnit contended himself by fwding pdfs of a couple of newspapers. Satish presented a neat summing-up of TDO. Luthra threw a political teaser, hoping to see a slugfest but neither Mishra nor Murali took it on. Satbir proclaimed his maturity by posting an excellent video on the 18 signs of maturity and added that now he would be focusing on making others mature. Alan Clarke posted a useful video on how to keep the body parts healthy.The same had been posted earlier by Alfred. Rakesh Luthra stopped Sanjay Mishra in his tracks by replying - " you are right " in response to the latter's longish post on the Congress funding issue.
Rajbir posted a video on the importance and respect due to a father.A false alarm regarding RKM's birthday did not snowball for once, showing the alertness of readers and also that they are going through all posts.There was an interesting bit of info in Uttam Sarkar's post about an FIR lodged against some Sikhs for getting into the Babri structure and performing Ram-naam havan in 1856..This lead to some discussion on the tenets of Sikhism. Rajbir explained the concept of Akal Purakh. No explosion followed.So one comes to the conclusion that it is not religion or politics per se that is to blame.To blame are rigid followers who are not ready to see another's perspective - otherwise all roads lead to Rome. Hitech Murali posted about the Last Post. Chandan posted a new Bidi cure for Covid. Arun Parasar made everyone's mouth water with the photo of a mutton dish along with the caption- mutton with a twist. Further details on this twist are still awaited but Satbir says it is a lemon twist. A Bihari's mind is never far from his homeland.Freed from political issues, Sanjay Mishra posted a photo of the paddy fields of Bihar. Pitamah posted a video clip with a profound message on right treatment. Like an expert homeopath, he coats his pills with sugar and administers them in small doses. There are no side-effects, so do watch. Sanjay Soi lightened the atmosphere with his joke on ACRs. Andrews offered useful tips on what to do if you find your backside on fire. Navnit posted a useful video on the role of savings. Pratap Ghosh posted some thought provoking videos while Pushpendra had something to say about some veterans getting sold out on TV. Alfred added a message on" A soldier's dignity"- must-read for all.
Ganesh Athley posted a funny video on how Kejri won the race.Talk turned to investments with Hitech Murali's post on the subject. Nice to see Raja Kadam's post on Iyengar beer.Talk of the Iyengar and there he was in person. Murali who had been retrograde the whole day, made his presence felt with a whole series of posts on his pet subject of which he is a master--finance.He was joined by Shiv, Umar, Naithani, Chandan and Luthra in a lively discussion on investements which carried on till late. Meanwhile, it is learnt that Sanjay Mishra is looking for a tutor in that subject, preferably from Bihar. SBT, who had been keeping a close watch over the day's proceedings submitted the LO hour report and all went to sleep a little later.
Have a great weekend.
