December 28 .. birthday of Ef Dinesh Mishra .. Ef Waseem Sayed .. and Ef Niloy ..
December 27 .. birthday of Ef Diipesh Arrora from Surat, Gujarat ..
Love to all of you and greetings .. 🌿
✨
On this day - still awaiting confirmation - .. the Indian National Anthem “JANA GANA MANA” was first sung on 27 Dec 1911 .. 111 years ago .. Jai Hind !! 🫡🇮🇳
the year on its end gets a closer look over the horizon .. and one is tempted to look back .. look back in anger .. haha .. ‘Look back in Anger’ .. the play by John Osborne .. famous , enacted often for theatre .. but in the reality of life there is the absence of looking back .. what shall one get .. why anger .. you destroy your own interior in doing so .. let it not prevail upon you .. may it be absent in its destructive spirit and convert itself to the happiness and the joys of the World, in its beauty and existence ..
a resolution ..?
Naaah ..
why a resolution at the end of the year for the next .. why .. why not a resolve during it at any given time and place .. resolve then and there .. why shift the deed to the 31st of December/1 st January .. are they specially made for the resolve of its manifestation .. ?
So .. the leisure of the furlough obtained for the few days spent in the meets of some extraordinary ideas and technologies existent and coming in the future seen heard assessed and considered ..
a frightening process of what is going to come in the years ahead .. the AI, the VR, the AR .. and so on , with an explanation that defies my limited brain reserve .. the MetaVerse, the NFT and what ever have you - not a single alphabet of the dictionary left to challenge these fresh new inventions ..
under consideration .. and WIP or as one often hears POC .. whatever that means .. all a blurr .. the simplicity evaporated .. but for them they maintain that the simplicity is of the invention and the science and technology ..
well .. we await the final presentation of what they mean ..
and prepare for the days ahead ..
my love

.. the sensitivity of them that profess friendship and nearness is challenged at times and the instigation is a date looked over .. despite a daily concern and prayers for them each day for the past 2 years ..
they profess indifference and show disgust and are pained ..
the indifference must be in their minds .. my daily prayers much like the dailies of this Blog have remained constant .. and there has been immense acknowledgement to it as well ..
so one cannot understand this sudden gush and their harsh words ..
apologies given .. and after much consideration a consolatory response ..
life in such conditions disturbs .. it shows me in bad light and there shall be repercussions ..
i attempt not to be bad at all ..
but it is now given fact that being too good to all is a fallacy ..
but nature born with cannot change , and neither shall I .. doggedly I shall bring reassurance and love and care .. to win and succeed
my love

Birthday - EF AMIT NADKAR .. Jalpesh Piyushbhai Desai .. Rani ShardaSunday, 25 December ..
this is a special birthday for all the Ef and our wishes for wellness peace calm and love ❤️❤️❤️
There is the seeking of apologies for the late consumption of time for the post of the Blog that should have been out yesterday in the night .. but not just that but the next day the one today has undergone some delays .. so am rushing to connect ..
Yes .. yesterday was a bit occupied by the pending works of many many days .. and the bad habit of mine that , instead of leaving it to a team of managers and secretaries to attend to many of the aspects of our routine and connects , I must see and do them myself ..
reason .. ?
you are writing and connecting with me , not my management , if at all I can safely contend that I have one ..
that personal information is most important, because I do not want to be looking up to a guest with gaping mouth, when they seek an answer to the letter or post or picture or gift that they had sent me with affection .. and I cannot remember of know of their existence .. that is rude on my part ..
the well wisher, the audience is the master .. no opinion makers can replace them .. they make us .. and it is only but the needed ‘charan sparsh’, the touching in reverence of their feet , that must be honoured and respected ..
So .. there was a visit to the ‘tube’ with the strange electronic sounds that record what the body is doing inside us .. it is a rather long procedure and can get claustrophobic for many ..
I ..
well I .. begin to construct a ‘dhun’ inside .. with the rhythmic convulsions of the electronic that plays in its planned graph and rhythm .. 🤣🤣
that done .. and all being well .. got taken up by the exuberance of ‘liberty’ of ‘freedom’ of the absence of ‘routine’ and not having the Damocles sword hanging above you for the absence of any of the above ..
is it not true that we often use words and expressions to express a moment and have never wondered where it came from ..
i take a considered note of it and and wished to know why the Damocles Sword expression was used and why and from where ..
well Damocles was a legendary courtier who ever extravagantly praised the ruler of the Syracuse Kingdom of the Ruler - Dionysius 1 , who 🤣🤣🤣 not very taken up by this extra territorial praise , and wanting to show the courtier how precarious this praise was, made him sit on the banquet table and hung a sword over his head, on a string of hair !!! 🤣🤣😳😳😳
and that is where this expression comes from ..
alright enough of ‘gyaan’ .. more importantly .. all is well .. with the TV and the serials that are being witnessed at odd hours and for timed intervals .. and the pattern of exercise and breathing is done in and the .. connection continues ..
my love then ..
and how wonderful to have the so called divas of design and dress and clothing and couture , seek your information on what we wear and from where !! 🕺🕺

Birthday - EF Irfan Nuyani .. Anu Uttam .. Saturday, 24 December .. all our wishes and love for the birthday of our Ef and dear friends .. all luck, prayers and affection .. ❤️❤️❤️
the glory and the eminent exaltation of .. NO WORK .. !
the desperate feel of the timings of the morning hours and the freedom to be up and about if the desired be prepared , to remain in the absence of routine and regulation ..
to not do anything .. to not think anything .. to not wonder what would be in expectancy .. to be not just to the curriculum of the daily ..
and to spend the time in idle sleeper drome vestibules .. the bed the couch .. wherever .. to be on the graas of the early morn in the barest of feet .. taking the sun .. taking its limited ray per sec .. to shut the bright eye and consume the ‘praan’ as they would say among the yogis of the century .. and allow it to guide reflect and bring in the balance of life within ..
there has been reward and accomplishment in this direction and path ..
idlewiese .. from edelweiss .. from the German edel = noble; wiess = white
a white tribute to the noble gesture of recalcitrant stature and attitude .. of normalcy , in normal times ..
there is a learning in the times of silence .. be not afraid to express within ..without , shall be fodder to the impotency of the informant .. and each of which would be the viagraed much needed potent ..
many amused by the verbal express of the expression .. and why .. ?
well figure .. !!
i can feed my hungry pet .. for he or she has the animal sincerity and dedication of assurance and trust .. the hemisphere may not .. it floats the ‘without’ .. and in time with the inventive wisdom of the enhanced .. it shall be the knowledge of all .. in word and deed .. !!
INDEED .. !!!

Birthday - Ef Amarjeet Kumar, Patna, Bihar .. Friday, 23 December .. best wishes and affection from the Ef family .. love ❤️❤️
बड़ी कोशिश की , की निद्रा रुपेण संस्थिता रूप दे जाए हमें ,
रात भर तड़पते रहे , की नींद आ जाए हमें ;
न जाने क्या वजह थी की , वो हमसे दूर भागती रही
अंत में निकली वो ही , जो वो सदा थी , निमुंही !
सोचा बेहतर होगा , यहाँ आ जाएँ हम ,
ध्यान कई दिनों से था यहाँ कम ।
अब भले नींद आए या ना आए , हमें
आप सब के साथ , बस ,समय मिल जाए हमें ।।
and so we are back home and in the confines of your own pillow and sheets .. and so much more .. home is home .. even though it be away from the luxury of starry hotels ..
the work ended earlier .. and gave me time to be in the back logged conditioning .. to respond to the many that had been left ignored .. to rectify work that had been kept away and incomplete ..
a rule that guides us all .. until and unless the personal accountability of your home facility is observed, it can and shall ruin its running .. what we can see the occupier cannot ..
life has this lesson too .. what you wish to do , needs to be understood personally .. leaving it to the choice and decisions of management can never be the same ..
reminisced the grand old man Oberoi, the doyen of Hotel ownership and its management during one of my early visits to Srinagar on a shooting schedule, and my stay at the Oberoi Hotel .. early one morning looked out of my window to see Rai Bahadur Oberoi ready and dressed in his elegance inspecting the flowers in the garden by the lawns of the Hotel, along with the Manager, and giving instructions as to how the flower beds needed to be improved for better flowers to grow ..
personal .. inspections .. despite the fact of his prominence and standing to be looking into the smallest of factors of the business, says a lot for the nature of the grand doyen …
so you wish to factor, that, in your mind when time is available, to observe personally what goes on in which department .. and to report its inspection ..
simply so admirable …
greatness does not come by chance , it requires chanced hard labour to be in achievement !
and the return .. back to check personally how Jalsa and Janak and Prateeksha are doing ..
much in shortfall ..

.. silent birthday greetings to Ef Rupam Sarma , and Ef Shailendra Shrivastav .. be well and in the strength of happiness .. ❤️❤️❤️🌿
.. she slipped away as elegantly and quietly as was her temperament this morning as I watched the doctors struggle to revive her delicate heart, time and again .. pumping here delicate frame in vigorous pushes to get her to live again .. and again .. and again ..
we stood .. holding hands all of us near and dear .. the nieces and the children in tears .. until ..
I spoke up ..
leave it doc .. leave her .. she wishes to go .. stop .. do not make any more efforts .. each effort was painful for her system and painful for us to stand there and witness .. each time that ‘straight line’ would appear .. and then shift to the graphic responses of the physical pumping ..
stop it I said ..
and they did .. the singular tone of the straight line on the monitor .. indicating to us all and the World , that she had left .. slipped out .. as someone recently mentioned about the passing of a near one .. and gone to a ‘better place’ - words that we often hear being used in consolation of the departure ..
a gentle hand on her forehead .. a million memories flashing by in the silence of the room in the hospital .. and then leaving to being her home ..
the hall in Prateeksha was made stark .. cleaned and washed .. her portrait , her beautiful face , by the side of a few white flowers .. a silence about ..
and she lay there for the last time ..
her nieces came .. and brought in the Granth Saheb Shabd in recitation, sitting by her side all night .. I lay on the floor along .. it was traditional .. to spend the night with her , till the cremation the next day ..
.. and then her body to the flames ..
the collection of her ashes .. and taken to the sacred places which she believed and prayed at ..
the prayer meet .. with recitations of the Granth Saheb by the recognised Granthis ..
and her portrait .. by the side of Babuji , in his room ..
adorning ..
the sound of shlokas and prayers each day and the flowers keep them company .. her and his books of prayer along side ..
in reverence .. the room remains so ..
permanently ..
and she remains permanently with us ..
Amma ji .. the most beautiful Mother in the entire Universe ..
Amitabh Bachchan
.. and no pictures of her today in remembrance - none could do justice to her beauty .. 🌹

Happiness and the fulfilment of all your good desires .. love .. ❤️❤️❤️🌿
oh the joys of the little pleasures of life .. like finding the correct way to tie your wrist band for support as age and injury make it difficult for them to function in their maximum strength ..
oh what a joy to be able to replace the app emojis on the face page of the mobile according to the sequence you want it to be ..
oh what a joy to be able to set your Apple watch in order to read your heart rate and to be able to control your bluetoothed music being played on the device during work outs ..
oh what a joy to be able to hear your playlist on the bluetooth car device as you drive to work, spurring you on to give the best , and to reminisce those moments with loved ones as the ‘dhun’ plays around you ..
oh what a joy to find out that simple press of button on the laptop and get back to the page you were working on ..
oh what a joy to be able to put all this down and allow the common ness in this description, to find a voice here on this public platform ..
and despite the hour being close to the AM of 2 o’clock in the morn of the next day the 20th , to be able to reconnect with the Ef ..
.. and they send me this .. and there is gratitude and well being reflected all over for the honour ..
yes what a final to the FIFA .. edge of the seat .. hearts pounding .. and the joy of watching winning hearts and the absolute distress in seeing the emotional break downs of those that lost their hopes ..
when exhilaration and emotion gets stifled, there can never be a more distressing site ..
the only reconciliation is .. next time ..
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
