The tallest tree in our neighborhood has fallen. The tower at the end of the street, a WW II veteran, someone who endeared us with his stories, his indomitable spirit, his impeccable sense of humor, and above all his kindness. Life takes its course and comes to take back what it gives, that is a given. But to live a complete life, almost entirely on our own terms is a gift for a select few. Some of that depends on us being ready to accept the gift, os even if it is offered to a few, even fewer are able to get it. This was a man that got to it.
T.R will be missed, his patriotism to raise the flag on every national holiday, being the first in our neighborhood to bring out the stars and stripes. The stars and stripes will rise again this Labor Day, but amongst those stars, one of them will be T.R. Very few people live to become something of a mythical being, this man next door stood as one of those. Yes, he fell to life as we all will, but almost all the way, he stood with his head high, walked up and down the stairs himself, lived in his own house and did not depend on anyone.
Hats off and salute to the Captain!

In all these years, I had never wondered about Vibhisena’s wife. I got called to her attention via the dud movie, Adhipurush, where she plays an important part in Lakshmana’s recovery from Indrajit’s vicious attack. She is the one who raises to Rama’s attention, the existence of the Sanjeevani herb that can serve as an antidote to the poisonous wound. This beautiful character garnered controversy for the wrong reasons. Sarama is known to have had a close relationship with Sita when she was at...
RamHappy 47th AK
AK would have been 47.. but alas! Still in my fond memories. Rushing to catch the same 5B bus as she would, walking back from Adyar Signal for a short furlong or two to Parameshwari Nagar and then a long trek back to my place.. Some things last such a short clock time and yet they last a lifetime in memory. This is an inversion of the Pareto principle where the most memorable incidents are also some of the most extreme emotions that one feels, whether pain, joy, success or of course, love. Re...
