                                     \\No milk of human kindness
                                 Hard brutal  are they, no sentimens
                             world full of  cold blooded, vicious men.
                               Why but why this revenegful  attitude,
                                    all  for the sake of supremacy.
                                     Power loot, pelf  and revenge

Homage

 A. P. J.Abdul Kalam, ,Ex President of India passed away last evening while  delivering a lecture at the  Indian Institute of Management, Shillong. He was known as the ''People's President'' because of his love for the common man. He was especially fond of children. By his passing away, India has lost  a great scientist, an eminent statesman and a very kind human being. Right from his childhood he had shown signs of his  greatness. Given below is a video clip, depicting  signs as great son of India:

 

We salute this great son of the soil. May his soul rest in peace.

A child bit a dog

 After reading the title you must br wondering that I have committed some mistake in writing. No, not at all. This actually happened.
                 We had a labrador female pet dog, Elsa. She was so sweet, humble, very loving and obedient. She never liked to sit alone. She loved to be the center of attraction. We had employed a trainer for her. The moment he came and pressed the call bell, Elsa could guess that it was her 'teacher' at the entrance. In a jiffy  she would  hide  under some chair or a table. The trainer would give one call, and Elsa would crawl fearfully in front of the the teacher. All of us enjoyed this daily drama.
She was not at all aggressive.She looked like a tiger, giving an impression that she was very wild but in reality she was as innocent and tame as a lamb. One day some guests had come to our house.Their daughter, about three old, was with them. The child had a small toy car. She was playing with it. For some time ,Elsa was watching curiously, then, perhaps she wanted to join the fun. The child pushed the toy and it reached the other end of the room. Instantly Elsa rushed and put the toy in her mouth. The baby girl was stunned. She caught hold of Elsa's neck and bit her  hard. Blood started oozing. She was terrified.The toy came out on the floor and Elsa swiftly ran under a table for cover. She neither barked nor tried to bite the child, Inspite of her pain and suffering she did not react. This was our Elsa.So lovable, so patient and so docile!
            Have you experienced some such act of compassion with your pet?

Laugh a while!

                               
Today I have selected  the best comedy scenes from some old Hindi movies.These  movies were box office hits, when they were released. All the four movies  were released in the decade 1970 to early 80s.
   (1)                              
The first  comic scene is from the movie, Angoor, released in 1982. It was a comedy based on Shakespeare's famous play 'The Comedy of Errors''. It is a story of two sets of twins,which creates several comic situations A sample is given below. Have a hearty laugh.Sanjiv Kumar and Deven Varma, both have done justice to the role that  they play.

                                                                                                                           

     (2)  
                          The next  comedy  is  Seeta  aur Geeta. Hema Malini plays the double role of Seeta and Geeta, which leads to great comedy. Hema Malini's acting is one of the best  as a comic actress.                            

(3)  The third  scene is from Sholay, which created history in Hindi film world.It was a big hit, which broke many records for continuously running for  more than five years in a theatre. The dialogues of the movie were very sharp and crisp. The movie was one in all. It had tragedy, comedy, emotions, and masala, which appealed to young and old. There were all the top most stars of those days. Amitabh Bachhan, Dharmendra, Sanjiv Kumar, Hema Malini, Jaya Bachhan were the leading stars. The scene depicted here is very entertaining.

                                     

(4) The last one that I have selected is a very humorous movie Golmaal. It was a pure comedy from the word, start.Amol Palekar was the hero of the movie.The scene, which I have selected shows Utpal Dutt and Om Prakash in a very interesting comic situation. Enjoy.

Beware of strangers

                                                                                                 This is a true incident which  happened  yesterday. I have a  friend,Sheela.We are good friends. She is too simple and innocent .   Yesterday  she   came to our house . Both of us had a gala time. We listened to a flute.  She wanted to leave at four but I told her to wait as the driver was  about to reach and he  would drop her home. She agreed. Soon there was a call from the driver that he  would reach home late.  There was no point to delay Sheela.  She took an auto. Next to driver another fellow was seated.  Sheela was not comfortable. Suddenly she noticed that the auto driver was on a wrong direction. She told the driver he was on a wrong route. The driver stopped and gave her a wicked smile. The person sitting next to him came and sat on the back seat with Sheela. The driver raced the auto. The man sitting near Sheela pulled her near him. She protested, he gave her a slap. She started shrieking, ''help,help.'' As luck would have it,  the driver of a police vehicle coming from the opposite direction saw the poor girl. The police constable rescued her.
