JAHANNAM IS FULL

  I am not sure who is incharge of ‘Jahannam’. Is it ‘Allah’ the almighty or is it ‘Shaitan’ the great. Maybe, the delegation of powers to administer ‘dozak’ has been handed over to the Devil by the ‘Khalik and Maalik’ of this ‘Kaynaat’.   There are no vacancies left in hell with the speed at which people’s souls are being dispatched. The Pakistanis claim that they are sending the BLA people, TTA, TTP and others to the most insalubrious place where wildfires burn, oil keeps bubbling in huge cauldrons’ to fry souls, souls are kept chained and flogged with ‘Koras’ and whips. There is nothing but shouting, screaming, pain, and suffering. What a nasty scene it must be!   God must have gone crazy too, as Jannat must still have some place but Nark must be full of Pakistanis. Not only for their deeds but for doing milawat, glaazat, chori, Dakaiti, jhoot fareb, kam tolna, rishwat etc, what one of their journalists had highlighted being the sole  character of a Paki...

BUDGET 2026

    It was a nice bright Sunday and my pension had just got credited. These days, banks are very transparent, they not only send a message of what they have credited but also tell you how much income tax they deducted. I am contributing to the budget of the nation.   Before the credit, concerns about monthly debits start on 1 st of the month. Bijli ka bill, doodhwale ka bill, paper wale ka, medicine ka, car wash, mobile & cable TV recharge, the list is endless. Maids have to be paid in cash which cannot be delayed.   Be that as it may. I was in no mood to switch on the TV for the simple reason that there is nothing much to watch and much better things to read. TV news and debates are harbingers of headaches and mental torture.   A single news item is flogged like a bedsheet treated at ‘dhobi ghat stone’. What is left is shouting, rage, showing down each other, anger, hate, and noise pollution. There is everything except news.   In the afternoon, I swit...

BIRDS AT HOME

  As January ends, imagine 31 days of the new year have just flown past. The weather has started changing. Spring is in the air and plants are showing hints of it.   Here in the Sun City, the transition from feeling cold to feeling hot is quite sudden. The morning breeze has a bite and the afternoon sun can bake you.   Birds are also showing changes in their behaviour. They are foraging more and sticking together in pairs. New partners are being solicited and the old ones are being wooed. The change in season is bringing changes in their activities and manners.   Keeping the birds in mind, I have got used to a pair of ‘Dhoban Chiriya’ the ‘White Wagtail’ roaming around and catching insects in the front lawn every day. They don’t miss shikar even on Sundays.   Morning walkers, passing vehicles and other birds do not bother them. The only thing which bothers them is cats. Cats are always on the lookout for birds especially those which come to pic...

CHABEES JANVARY 2026

  CHABEES JANVARY 2026   LT COL NOEL ELLIS   26/I/2026   Finally, “Chabbes Janvary Chabbes” arrived. Days of intense practice, drill & dance till the time each participant, man, beast, and machine recognised the road on ‘Kartavya Path’ like the back of your hand.   Practice ensures that the drivers, pilots, contingent commanders, and marching contingents can move blindfolded. Even animals understood the importance of the event. Horses and camels moved without a fuss with ‘dingle-dangles’ hanging on their sides. They even enjoyed the bands playing various tunes.   To see the ‘Double Humped Camel’, Canines and Eagles was a first for me. To march along with their handlers was a treat to watch.   By far this was the most impressive parade witnessed by every Indian since the inception of this grand parade. The rumbling and screeching of the armoured vehicles tracks, the lowering of their guns and the smart salutes by their comm...
