TRULY THE GREAT DAY!

It was the great Sunday for the family as all the children from abroad visited their Home town for the first time.. After a good breakfast, the eldest son proposed,

“Let’s do something new today.. We'll move out with mom and dad.. Let me buy the latest Smart Phone released in the Market for our father.. His phone is centuries old.. Any how, a good Buy Scheme is now 'ON'..” 


The Mom intervened and said,

"My Little Ones have come home after a long time.. I want to take them to their favorite Ice Cream shop and Toy Sores and buy what they want.. In the evening, I want to take them to the near by Play Ground.. There's no need for me to come with you.. Please take your dad, buy him what he wants and make him happy!"

And the family instantly okay-ed the proposal and moved on.. They soon visited the Phone Shop and the son selected the costliest phone for his dad..

"You are a busy man and you need the better phone.. take this yourself and give your existing phone.. That's enough for my work!"

Said the dad..

"What's the next Program?”

Asked the son looking at the other members of the family..

“We'll have lunch at our Favorite Restaurant………”

Suggested the elder daughter..

“That’s a nice idea.. Let’s go there!”

Soon the family settled in the Restaurant comfortably in their seats and the dad said,

"Dear! It's you young people that should eat well.. I'll just share a little of yours.. First order for yourself!"

“I will buy his favorite Tea at……..”

Suggested youngest daughter.. Soon, the family visited the famous Tea Shop of the city and settled at the Table.. The favorite Tea was ordered.. It was some fun for a while..

“Our next plan is do some shopping at the Mall.. I'll pick a few shirts for dad!”

Said the younger son.. No doubt for the next one hr, the man was patiently sitting in the Guest Area of the Mall taking care of a few belongings as the family actively shopped around..

“Why not go for that Movie released yesterday.. It’s running in one of the theaters in this Mall itself.. I read the latest Review………”

Proposed the elder son..

“Yes! That’s really a great idea.. Anyhow, with children we can never go together.. Let's see if the tickets are available.. Hope we are not late..”

The elder daughter concurred with that.. Again, no doubt to say.. For the next two hrs, the elderly gentleman was struggling to sit the Theatre amidst blaring sounds and the chill environment.. Finally, the family returned home happily at dusk..

“We really had a Great Day for our Father.. How did you like it?”

Asked the second son.. The gentleman smiled and said,

“Yes, my dear! Truly speaking for the fun part of it..
  • I got the phone which may not be smart but saved you from the Schemes that trap you through installments, 
  • I had lunch at the famous Restaurant of course, it does not matter how famous it may be as I always have to pick up my diet items only from the menu, 
  • I joined with you for Tea in your Famous Tea Shop and I got a cup of hot tea at such a price with which money I could have purchased my favorite tea in an ordinary Tea Shop for a fortnight, 
  • I relaxed myself at the Mall sitting and taking rest even though you asked me to see the entire Mall and 
  • Finally I had a great difficulty of sitting through the full length of your favorite Movie not able to understand the speed of life on the Screen! 
But my Sunday, was truly a ‘Great Day’ as I could see all along the full expression of unlimited happiness on all of your faces coupled with so much enthusiasm and interest.. And back home, my grandchildren were eagerly awaiting to play with me! I'm sure with any other type of involvement, my day couldn't have been truly better at this point of time in my life!"

THE 2 NOBLE PERSONALITIES THAT I CAME ACROSS IN MY EARLY LIFE!


No doubt.. The 2 core Topics Viz., Mathematics and Strength of Materials are the 2 Subjects of Study that truly form the backbone of Mechanical Engineering Studies at any point of time.. My own experiences in this context..

They were the early 60s.. I still distinctly remember those times..

Up to Class 7 of my Schooling, just looking at Maths itself was a big terror for me as I could never understand the head and tail of the Subject till that point of time.. In fact, in my 6th and 7th Classes of Schooling, my parents had a certain doubt whether I would pass at all the Exam in Maths..

Luckily, by God's Grace I crossed that stage securing the min pass marks and soon was into 8th class when Composite Maths was introduced fresh which added only a further tension in me making me totally disoriented in my studies.. The Algebra in front was nothing but the Greek and Latin to me and I was totally a lost person when I started comparing myself with the then Classmates of mine in coping up with that Subject..


At that stage, we had a new Maths Teacher who happened to be truly the God Send and was the total Savior of my further Schooling..

Even now I don't know how it worked.. Under the expert guidance of my that ever revered Maths Teacher, I started picking up the subject very fast and soon developed a certain interest in that direction.. My Teacher was truly good, soft, understanding and beyond gentle in guiding making me not only understand the subject but equally rekindled the budding interest in the very subject to such a high level which I can't imagine till date..

Further story followed as expected as the taste of pudding is definitely in eating alone.. I picked up there so fast, soon got into Engineering when the toughest Maths became my favorite Subject and 95 to 100% was the min score I got in all 7 Maths Subjects of 5 yrs which paved my way to securing the First Rank and a Gold Medal at the University Level and later in PG Maths at IIT, Kanpur where the Grade was sure the very much expected 'A'..

Again to say here.. What ever the choice be in answering the Maths questions, every time, I invariably used to answer all without an exception in the allocated time and then only leave the Exam Hall..

Further, I can vouch a 100% that a dedicated Teacher of that time had truly laid that single foundation of kindling a deep interest in me in the Core Subject in the right time.. My Regards to that Great Personality ever remain in my Heart..

Once again going back subsequent to my 12th Class of Schooling, I secured a seat in my Engineering College in Mechanical Branch.. Here, again one of the toughest subjects was the Strength of Materials and it was a terror for the Civil and Mechanical students to face the Exams in the Subject..

At that point of time the 2nd time in my Academic Career, I got the very Right Lecturer for teaching the Subject who with all dedication started explaining the Topic from the fundamental Concepts of Load and Deformation and thus laid again the 2nd strong foundation for understanding that Subject which had finally led me in the third Part of the Subject to secure a 100% Score..

Looking back, I very much feel even to date that the experience with these 2 Excellent Teachers during my total Academic life was truly amazing as they had such a unique skill and deep interest to mold an average student up the ladder creating a true interest in their own pet subjects..

I can say here with great regard and respect to these 2 Personalities that they were really the Great People of my life whom I came across and whom I can never forget for a life time!

LIGHTING UP THE 'SPECIAL LIGHT!'

The Head of a family along with his Family Members made all arrangements for welcoming a Visitor to their home.. From the time the Visitor arrived to the time he left, the Head and his Family Members took every care in treating the Guest with certain attention and discipline from their side.. Satisfied, the Visitor left the place and the Members were extra relaxing in their own way commenting on the Visit and the Visitor.. The Head remarked,
  • "Why not even now continue, the minimum discipline we maintained all along during the Visit of the Guest to our place instead of expanding beyond?" 
If I once look at this oft repeated behavior of mine, it instantly strikes me that my Backyard is not really that clean, it alone prompts me many times to expand myself endlessly beyond my limits and equally it's the right time now that I keep this Backyard of mine truly clean by disciplining my mind to a certain extent..

A little explanation in this context..

In life, unless the Backyard supports, there's no true shine on the Frontal Appearance.. Since the Backyard has taken a secondary preference forever, the Front glows eternally with dazzling colors and is ever in lime light..

Again, since the evil has no place in the visible area i.e, when I am noticed as it instantly attracts attention and will straight away be questioned, Backyard is forever the convenient place to off load my wrath, negligence, laziness and all that unwanted..

But the problem is that my personality at any time is a combination of what I am outward and what I am at the back; never the single front alone.. So, it's high time, I start cleaning up my Backyard in this life right from now on wards and try keep it as neat as possible.. The time is running out and this moment alone is the best moment to make a beginning for this Sacred Task..

  • On this coming up Diwali, let me light up this 'Special Light' in my heart in addition to the usual glowing lights around me, illuminate myself within to observe my own mind which is ever bent upon playing its games of ill fame and thus start checking it well in time so that the so called my Backyard remains clean and orderly as much as possible bringing out True Peace everywhere around!
A Happy Diwali to all my Friends and Well wishers of Indiblogger and FB!!

THE 'PERFECT EXECUTION!'

The Little One was too active..

The Mom decided that he should be taught his Potty Training in the right time and quickly say bye to Diapers.. Surprisingly the boy never said, 'No' there and changed over from Diapers to Potty in a short time.. The Mom was very much pleased with the change at such an early age and decided to reward her boy..

She promised, 


"Dear!  You will be played daily the Cartoon movie Tom and Jerry!" on I-Pad whenever you sit on the Potty.. OK?"

The child understood nothing but in no time got attracted by the Gadget and the Bright Screen..




Later, as the movie was played, he used to finish his potty activities so nicely with a smile on his face and that had become a great habit with him..

It was Sunday Morning..

There was a long Power Shutdown for 3 hrs and the I-Pad was found dead with nil charge..


As usual the child sat on his potty and was looking at his Mom to play his favorite Movie.. Suddenly the Mom understood that she got into a fix not knowing how to amuse the child immediately..

She said, 

"Dear! Complete your Potty.. Then we'll play your Tom and Jerry.."

The boy never understood what she said but started a big cry showing at I-Pad

"That One.. That One.."

The Mom was helpless for a while and the whole activity of Emptying came to an instant halt!

But God sends help in the right time to those who truly love Him in their Hearts..


Her two Little Nephews who heard the cry of the Boy rushed to the place instantly and enquired their Mousi what had happened.. The Mom just explained the elder boy the Problem.. He instantly understood the Little One's demand and his Mousi's problem..

The next moment he said, 

"Mousi.. Take out the I-Pad.. Myself and Rahul will play Tom and Jerry in front of our Cutie!" 

Saying thus he called his younger bro and asked him to become Jerry in action himself assuming the Role of Tom..

Further, he turned to the Little One said, 

"Cutie! Now I'm Tom and Rahul is Jerry.. Look.. He's running and am chasing him.. Start.. 1.. 2..3.. Go.."

Thus the next moment, the Great Drama started just like that in front of the boy in the same place..

The Tom jumping ferociously and charging at Jerry and the Jerry tricking the Tom, escaping and running in the Static Positions..

It so happened that there both the kids played the drama so well all along shouting, jumping, crying and screaming to the extremes in no time, the Cute Little Boy got amused beyond with that Realistic Play and burst into a loud laughter saying aloud.. "Again.. Again.. Again.. " continuously..

The next moment to the relief of the Mom, the Great Task was successfully completed by her Little Boy, she instantly simultaneously clapping hard and praising aloud the 3 Kids together.. 

"Well Done!"
