Bad news from Singapore

May the departed soul rest in peace and may the guilty of this meanest of the mean act rot in hell for ever. Innocents getting brutalised...Where is the 'so called' God?

Some politeness that the common man deserves....

Saw this in a small village in the interiors of Nainital District of Uttrakhand.

New Year Resolutions

Any day is as good as another for starting to improve one's life style...So let us not get into the "My New Year Resolution is..." crap....

'In memory of Mercy' by K.J.S.Chatrath

Today's The Tribune published from Chandigarh carries an item with a photograph "In Memory of Mercy: Kim Kardashian's snow-white kitten Mercy, which was a gift from rapper beau Kanye West, three months back, has died..." I wonder how many readers of your newspaper bother about such news (?) Mr. Editor?

'The last long trip and not the THE last long trip' by K.J.S.Chatrath

Hello, Travel is what keeps me going...I do realize that with passing years, body's capacity to take long journeys goes down...I have been feeling it but trying to ignore it...Now perhaps a time has come to become more realistic. Tomorrow, I am going on a longish trip to Mexico, Cuba and while returning, stay in Paris for a few days. The actual flying time to Mexico City is 21 hours....I think it is going to be perhaps the last long trip that I am taking (I am not talking about THE last long trip!) So for the next five weeks there would be no new posts on www.fiftyplustravels.com, www.gravematters.in and www.anaap-shnaap.blogspot.com. And on return I would be having lots of pictures, stories and tips to share with you. I was hoping that you would wish me a 'Bon voyage'..... With warm regards....KJS Chatrath
