Happy Holi
to you all.
I was missing out on splashing colors and water balloons
this day and ofcourse "Puran Poli".
Thanks to the wife of a colleague who thought of the brilliant
idea to surprise us all by getting Gulaal to our work place :)
Yeah it was fun dusting it off over and over and eventually
just letting the tikka stay so you dont get splashed all over again.
That was fun. :)

The world is catching up
Dont you sometimes wonder about this ever-changing world - and that it would
be difficult for oldies to match pace with it?
Well, I think so at times. Even at my age (which is not too much btw), I sometimes
find it difficult to relate to kids have boy/girlfriends in class 3 or class 5 (whats with
that!!??).. or to see hardly year old babies press the right buttons on the laptops.
The younger generations are moving way too fast. It must be really harder on
generations previous to mine to catch up with this speed.
But not so apparently. Well my mom shocked me during my vacation by asking me
to bring me a man home instead of a woman! lol Well, its not catching up in the true
sense - but she at her age understanding the pace at which we are running and that
we are susceptible to adapt to the changing tunes is amazing. It still is pretty much
taboo in India to talk about same-sex relationships and topics are not broached
normally in the living room with the entire clan present.
But I guess she has no choice than to move with the times and atleast acknowledge
the changes if not accept them. I think I would had a mild cardiac arrest had she said
she wouldn't mind my partner being a female as long as she was human... lol
So long...
