Geet gata chal, O sathi gungunata chal!
A hearty welcome to AK Roy Chaudhri back into the fold.Just before midnight,PK Sharma cracked a couple of jokes, Shailendra posted an overview of the Galwan situation and Vish topped it off with an excellent one about raising cocks. Rajeshawar Sirohi was there, loving it all and cheering.This guy is now on the watch 24x7. Galwan occupied centre stage yesterday and the strategic as well as political implications were discussed in great detail.Seeing Shailendra's post, I felt I had seen it earlier and sure enough, found on checking that it had been posted by Vidur in the afternoon in a different format. Ever thought about why a hangover is termed so? Satish Pande came up with a brilliant explanation in the evening which rings true. Seems the origin is British and the term was used for the lowest form of accommodation provided to drunken sailors who had over-indulged i.e.a low rope over which they could hang for the night. Now where else but in this hallowed site would you find such all-important wisdom? The better part of my own service career has been spent nursing a hangover and desperately trying to get rid of it by gulping down buckets full of nimbu-pani.
Nirbhye clocked in early yesterday and remarked that he had met Pandian in Chail. For some strange reason, this caught Duggal's eye and he remarked on it instantly. Something in these columns seems to have given Duggal a wake-up call! Anyway, this rang a bell in Katoch's head and true Pahadi that he is, he dashed off a picturesque description of his beloved Chail that could easily fit in a brochure for Himachal tourism.When his heart is touched, this guy writes as well as he sings. His write-up on Chail took one right into Devbhumi Himachal. Alan Clarke expressed his feelings freely and said that though he did not post much, he was going through all the happenings in this site, which was encouraging indeed. I am sure there are many other such strong, silent admirers. Alfred posted a motivational video on falling and getting up. Vidur's appeal for someone to elaborate this theme surprisingly found no takers. I had half a mind to tell him that this question could best be answered by someone who had suffered a knockout punch while boxing.For strange reasons( maybe retrograde Mercury), Murali refused to pick up the offer. Alfred posted a video released by China's Global TV and remarked on its change of tone. At last our own China expert, Navnit jumped into the fray. He seems very perturbed about the situation and spared no effort in freely expressing his anguish. He posted a PDF file in support and also a long letter on the subject written by US Gill. Talking of that letter, as I was going thru it, I realized that the language sounded familiar and it was not Navnit's. I was reminded of NK Sharma's reaction long back in reading US Gill's work- "I get nervous when I read that kind of English" said he. By afternoon, Murali's retrograde seems to have taken a backseat and he expressed his views on the China sit and other subjects. A sharp observation came from the Enlightened One himself - traffic on this site has not only increased but also improved over time. Murali put it down to Mercury retrograde. Satish's post on Experience of business management in China is an eye-opener.
Bharat Bhushan very proudly announced - "Look at these young motivated Lions. Abi dadi b puri fati nahi hai lekin jigra Babbar Sher hai. Let them loose on China or Pakis, these guys will tear them apart. Actually un ko tamboo main he mutwayen gay."
Sanjay Mishra took center stage and took on first Satish and then Shiv, Bharat Bhushan, Naithani and Saxy on matters political as well as astrological.The conversation is heated and informative covering a number of political personalities and nuances of astrology. Vish posted the PDF version of Bolton's book. Sanjay Soi posted the video of his live FB session which is a must watch.The in-house Voice of Kashmir, Bharat Bhushan has posted a video where a son of the soil makes a passionate declaration regarding the Galwan situation.This was followed immediately by a mysterious video posted by SBT. Pushpendra Yadav has posted a link which leads to my FB general page. Sukhi Chau posted a video on the future of bartending and KJS Sidhu appreciated Modi's kundali posted by Shiv. SBT's query regarding the exact length of the China-India border remained unanswered. Meanwhile I notice that Pandit Tripathiji has joined Shailendra in posting - The Gunner's shot posted earlier by Vidur. All in all, a day well spent. Gyaneshwar Maharaj was at his best - pointing out the drastic improvement in both the quantity and quality of posts on this site.He put it down to the fact that people and memories are more important than possessions.Point to ponder indeed.
Have a wonderful Tuesday.
Thank you very much for uploading TDO.
