'Oye Pangaa ho gaya Ji (I had an altercation)' - by K.J.S.Chatrath

It happened during my last trip to Tamil Nadu a few weeks back. I was taking a leisurely walk on Marina beach when I saw a tall hefty WWF type gentleman jogging. He was coming towards my direction and was very fast even though it is tough even walking on  a beach. Then he crossed me and in so doing brushed against my shoulder.

And I was angry. I rolled up my sleeves and challeged him. Seeing my solid biceps, wiry body and equally steely resolve, he hesitated. In the meantime a small crowd gathered around us and somebody pointing towards me said, 'Punjabi'.

As soon as the tough looking gentleman heard this, he came to me shook my hands and said 'Sorry Mister' and then asked, 'Are you from Punnjjab'. Yes, I said proudly and on hearing it my opponent started jogging in the opposite direction...

Well,  all this- the photo and the story are genuinely fake and have been concocted to shore up my ageing morale....

'Bland food and all that jazz' - by K.J.S.Chatrath

Vegetarian Thali Meal that I ordered at the India International Centre, New Delhi  last week.

I suspect the organisation believes that human beings have not been blessed with taste buds or that tasty food is a bad thing.

In preparing this food no oil, no spices, no chillies and even no salt seemed to have been used even though the tandoori roti was very good. Bland- in one word.

I tried the non-veg thali for another meal and found the chicken to be definately under cooked. 

Not my kind of food.

Pssst: I tried to keep the glass of beer out of the focus of photo, but quite evidently failed! And yes, beer wasn't  well chilled!

'Pappa, Pappu & Jeanneret' - by K.J.S.Chatrath

Quelle originalité!


Pappa: ( Reading the newspaper aloud) 'Pierre Jeanneret's house opens to the public today.'

Pappu: Who was Pierre Jeanneret, Pappa.

Pappa: He was a relative of Le Corbusier.

Pappu: And who was Le Corbusier, Pappa?

Pappa: Go and finish your homework.


# If a city does not have a past and heritage, it creates one!
