'Finally I am in love' - by K.J.S.Chatrath



Finally I am in love. At my age (72+) it does take a while. Yes it has taken me a long 13 years since I shifted to Panchkula. But I can say it now- frankly, happily and with pride. I am finally in love. Yes I am in love with Panchkula, the city where I live.  I go for a walk in a park in Sector 5 and notice the gradual changes of seasons reflected in the flowers and trees. 

Initially I used to feel a little over awed by Chandigarh with the admirers of Le Corbusier over-epousing his genius (?). Not any more. Move over Chandigarh, Panchkula has arrived. Slowly I have discovered the beauty and charm of Panchkula. But more on that later.

This is a Tecoma tree in bloom in this park these days. Tecoma is a genus of 14 species of shrubs or small trees in the trumpet vine family, Bignoniaceae. Twelve species are from the Americas, while the other two species are African.It is also called yellow trumpetbush, yellow bells and ginger Thomas. One finds these plants on both sides of Jan Marg in Chandigarh and also in the Rose Garden.

Panchkula has a wonderful cactus garden too. But of that in a subsequent write-up.

'Eyes too lie' - by K.J.S.Chatrath

I got up this morning and half asleep got hold of today's newspaper and made my self comfortable in my favourite chair. Soon a cuppa arrived. I opened the news paper, then folded it for a better grip. A few quick sips of tea but I was still half asleep. And then I saw this photo:

What the hell! यह क्या हो रहा है। I asked myself. The Hon'ble Chief Minsiter of Haryana being physically gagged! Or was he being force-fed? I never knew law and order was so bad, I told myself. मेरी नींद एकदम गायब हो गयी. My hands started trembling and I put the tea cup down.

Let me read it carefully, I decided. When I opened the fold of the paper the mystery got solved atonce.

The full, unfolded picture showed a hand holding a plate full of laddoos. Now the truth dawned. मान्यवर मुख्य मंत्री जी का मुंह मीठा करवाया जा रहा था.

मेरी जान में जान आई. में आराम से कुर्सी पर टांगें फैला कर चाय की चुस्कों भरने लगा और बाकि की ख़बरें पढ़ने लगा. ....

Yes, sometimes the eyes too lie.

"Dog lover? Who, me?" - by K.J.S.Chatrath



I am not a dog lover. In fact to be absolutely honest, I dislike dogs. But when I saw these puppies in the park in Panchkula where I go for a walk in the evenings, they completely stole my heart away. Well, let me say momentarily, till I recovered. Take a look... ...

 Dog lover? Who, me?
