Somewhere Over The Rainbow....

She left three years ago to do her Graduation in Economics, from the University of Durham. Aparajita, will be graduating this July and we, very much want to be there for her. We want to be a part of her future when she receives the degree. We can tell you with so much of pride, how these years have gone by.  We told her that she should always aim high and she took it to heart. The Market Square in Durham She wanted to make both of us proud so she attempted her IELTS and other subjects which would lead her to admission in the prestigious Durham University, in the United Kingdom.

We were tracing her flight in our computer every moment of time. Our little girl was all alone flying to some foreign land where there wasn't anyone to show her around or receive her.

The Craving

Nearly ten years ago I used to go about like a mad man searching for the love of my life and I could never co relate to any human being then or any other.

Can we tell the Chinese not to light then during their festivities? Or the special playfulness at Halloween? We have celebrated Ganesha in a sarvajanik(community) way in Mumbai, where the youngsters gather funds from one and ...
