How to feel tall

 

I received this morning cheer:

I asked a monk how to feel tall.

He just smiled and bowed.

Now, there are monks and monks. Some are new, and some are old. This one must have been old. Only an Old Monk can induce such a spirit of humility.

If you know what I mean:

Commonplace in National Capital Region (NCR)

 

A friend sent me this beautiful picture yesterday. It was a photo of the mysterious mist engulfing them, as he and his batchmates from Medical College, made their way to Kodaikanal, a beautiful hill station in Tamilnadu, India. They were onwards to their Batch Reunion.

I reflected that save for the undulating terrain, this scene was commonplace in the National Capital Region (NCR) of India nowadays - both by day and by night.

Your love is too much to bear

 

I will go

And never return,

If you make me cry,

With all your love.

I will go

And never return,

Your love is just

Too much to bear.

AI definition of a veteran

 

I received this beautiful quote from a friend:

I wondered if it wasn't a AI definition of a veteran, specially the last part that maps exactly with Sparsh, the pension disbursing system for Indian veterans.

Labour

 

Someone sent this prophetic message:

America is in Labour. In 24 hours we will know if it's a boy or girl.

I said, 'Amen to that, with the caveat that it could be an 'Other' too.'

By the way: UK has been in Labour for some months now, and will remain so for many months.
