  BONDS   LT COL NOEL ELLIS   22/VI/2023   There is a beautiful garden and a walking track right infront of our house. Many people, including us, make it a point to make full use of it. For me, it is capturing pictures after my walk, greeting and meeting people. How human relations develop is worth a mention.   A boy was born across the street. We have seen him grow. He is about to turn two. We have grown a bond not only with him, but with his parents and Grandparents too. Every morning, mom & dad bring him to the garden. He waits for us to call out his name and wave to him. His smile can win anyone’s heart. For him our colour, religion, language, age etc just doesn’t matter. What matters is our bond.   It matters how we greet each other. Good morning, Jai hind, Namaskar, Namo-namo, and bye-bye are said in the same breath. He folds his hands once and then keeps waving, travelling on his father’s shoulders. His eyes are fixated at you...

  KEEP THE HOPE ALIVE   LT COL NOEL ELLIS   17/VI/2023   Life is uncertain and we all know about it. People are there this moment and the next moment they are gone. Some people go, only to return due to some miracle. One should never lose hope. That’s what I intend to discuss today.   We had carried a ‘purple water lily’ all the way from Alibaug in a bucket to this place. It travelled in the truck with our luggage to the Suncity in the cold of December. The change of climate and jolts during transit must have affected it for sure. Till the time it was in the bucket it kept flowering, once we put it in a bigger tub it flowered a few times and then started to perish.   One fine day it had all gone. There was not a trace of a leaf or root left. Our hearts cried but that was all the time it had to stay with us. We would open old pictures of it in full bloom and rejoice and thank it for the pleasure it gave to us when it blossomed. ...

  MARWARI LOGIC   LT COL NOEL ELLIS   15/VI/2023   One has been observing the ‘Marwari’ way of life. Now that one is amidst them, it is fun to understand them exhibiting those qualities.   They believe in the principle of ‘Chamri Jaye par Damri na Jaye’. ‘He’ is a miser of the highest order. Some of these traits have been discussed below, so read on.   Our colony is on a National Highway. While broadening the highway, the cut to turn into the colony was closed. Now, one has to take a U turn about a kilometre ahead. Knowing a Marwari inside out and his calculations based on the cost of petrol, there is no way he would traverse the extra distance.   He would rather take a short cut through the first cutting before the colony and drive two kilometres on the wrong side of the road, risking his own life and of all those on the highway. To add to the haughtiness, he flashes his headlights, blinding you while keeping them on high beam that too at full speed. ...
