Bagging happiness Article Published in The Gulf Today Uae on 1Sep 12 (266 th Article).
A few days ago, I was beside myself with joy on receiving a message from my bank informing me that my credit card number had been selected for a prize. Lucky me!
A few days later, the keenly-awaited bonanza arrived by courier. Since it was a beautiful branded sports bag from a reputed firm, I decided to give it to my grandson, who I was sure — because of his youth — would be simply thrilled to own such a “prized possession.”
When I told him over the phone, he couldn’t conceal his happiness, which made me smile. When you see the happiness of your grandchildren, you end up being happier. And, it’s that happiness than money can never buy.

Remembering a great astronaut
Your editorial Exploration of space is a basic human drive (August 28) was interesting. Letter Published in The National ,Uae on 29,Aug 12
The death at 82 of Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong was a great loss to the world in the field of space exploration.
He was the first man to land on the Moon, and that created a revolution five decades ago. I salute the departed astronaut; the world will remember him forever.

Reliving golden bonds Article Published in The Gulf Today,UAE on 25 Aug 12 (265)
Friendships stand the test of time — and distance.
One fine evening last week, while I was at home in my native place, I received a couple of phone calls from old friends who had arrived from the UAE on vacation to India.
Since they too were holidaying at my native place, and wished to visit me and my family, they wanted to know whether I would be in my hometown or away in Bangalore, where I make frequent visits to see my children, who are settled there.
I told them I would be very much in my hometown and that I would be happy to host them at my home any time.
Both are residing in Sharjah which was my second home for many years. It warmed the cockles of my heart that even after my departure from the cultural haven that Sharjah was and is, they remember me so fondly. I was ever so happy to relive the old memories.
I have made numerous friends during my long years in Sharjah, all of whom make me proud of the UAE connection established in various sectors - in journalism, and so many other walks of life.

Passion’s ever present Article Published in The Gulf Today ,UAE on 18 Aug 12(264).
Meetings with friends are usually taken up by discussions on a whole host of topics under the sun. During one such meeting that took place a few days ago, a certain friend was keen to know about the hobbies of each of his friends gathered that day.
When my turn came, I spoke of my passion for writing.
My friends didn’t quite understand the meaning of the word “passion.”
I explained that there existed a clear difference between “hobby” and “passion”.
Whenever a person is in the right mood, he or she engages in his or her chosen hobby/hobbies, viz., writing, drawing, painting, etc. But passion manifests itself regardless of the mood. Shedding light on my passion brought smiles to my friends’ faces.

A few days ago, a friend of mine called me to find out my reason for not joining him for the regular morning walk. After explaining the cause for my absence, he commented: What you are doing is indeed anyday better than walking.
The reason I could not indulge in the daily morning exercise for the past few days was my aged mother was indisposed and I had to care for her.
The same evening I received the call from this friend, who came to see my mother. While leaving my home, he nodded in appreciation. “Serving parents is the most beautiful thing in the world.”

Sad turnaround Article Published in The Gulf Today Uae on 4Aug 12(262).
A friend of mine who got acquainted with my native place through a well-known travel site wanted to pay me a visit. I was happy in anticipation of being able to receive him at my place within the next couple of days. However, a sudden call from him announced that he was postponing his visit — the reason being his city had been rocked by four serial bomb blasts. His family members were not keen on allowing him to travel.
I was disappointed that a sad incident as the one that had hurt many people and had, therefore, instilled fear in many minds had prevented two friends from meeting each other.

Blast brings back bad memories Letter Published in The National ,Uae on Aug 3 012.
It was sad to read Series of blasts rock city centre (August 2), and it made me think back to the 2010 attack on the Germany bakery in Pune, when 17 people were killed.
Whether this attack is due to terrorism is not yet proven, but the fact that the explosions took place on a busy road is important.
At least, only one person was injured.
It is painful to think that, despite the earlier incident, there has been no increase in safety measures from the government.
