Want to keep the blog business going- not to post my views on a so-and-so topic as much to keep in touch with my fellow ilanders, whose presence in my life i value...what they say about man (and woman) being a social animal..

Ok, I give myself 5 minutes to pen something down. Quite pressed on time, like everybody else now-a-days. Sometimes makes me wonder how so many ilanders find time to write all those lengthy posts.

Ok, so the blogging is disturbed by two ladies who ring the bell asking- Paanch saal se chhota bachha hai? ...The Pulse Polio Campaign. Well, I live on the 2nd floor and there is no lift here and I gape in admiration at the honesty, hard work, and determination of these volunteers! Hey, who the hell said India is full of corrupt people! They might as well have not checked- they didn't make me sign a document and climbed all those stairs for just a verbal confirmation. Nobody would know. Hey, I'm going to volunteer for this work occasionally, I tell myself. Somehow their question does bring a smile to my face each time I tell them, "Nahin hai."

Hats off to the work of these people.
