Me 74 and Undoubtedly a Senior Citizen - 754

                  ME 74 AND UNDOUBTEDLY.                                             A SENIOR CITIZEN 

                                 



Two very contrasting and totally unrelated events of the recent past hold a very special sway  with me .

Among other things I realize that the advent of the new year makes me older by a Year 

Being quite healthy with the Almighty s Blessings is a sure boon . More often than not with advancing age ,  one often reaches a Milestone from time to time but Health Issues do become a Millstone not only around your own neck but around the neck of your very near and dear ones .


Though retired , I am generally an active person who is always on the look out to dabble with anything new and interesting . Writing in both English and Hindi has always been my Passion as also Visiting and Exploring new places both in India and Abroad .


In these days of instant and easy access to the Social Media Platforms like the WHATSAPP , E MAIL AND FACEBOOK , I have been flooded with BEST WISHES from Friends , Relatives and former Workplace Acquaintances . It does  feel nice to note that there is something in me which seems to have caught their fancy which also include  the younger ones . I have never been averse to join them in a game of Cricket , Football or even Table Tennis . 

Most States go by the age of 60 , Maharashtra goes by 65 and some Advanced Western Countries by 70 years for one to be eligible for the Senior Citizens Benifits  .


I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN BY ALL THE ABOVE 

                           STANDARDS 

Nonetheless , I would love to have the best of both the Worlds . I would like to consider myself as STILL GROWING AND NOT AGED .


PS : MY FACEBOOK ACCOUNT SEEMS TO BE HACKED , OR AN ATTEMPT IS BEING MADE TO DO SO . 

KINDLY IGNORE ANY UNWANTED OR SUSPECIOUS MESSAGES .

AYODHYA YAATRA DAY 1 - 702

Image
 AYODHYA YAATRA  DAY - ONE     Sundar Holiday Travels  As instructed  by Mr Ashok of Sunder Travels , we were dot on time at 9.00 thanks primarily due to smooth flow of traffic from Vadapalani to the Chennai  Airport .  Other Yatrees also slowly trooped in . Ashok seemed to have his way with the Indigo Airways . Group Check in saved us a lot of time . Lunch packet Distribution done we were on our way and were before time at Lucknow .  Lucknow was a lot different from what I had imagined , airport was spotlessly clean as was their baggage handling services .  Mr Ashok saw to it that we were off on a Bus to Ayodhya in a flash . It was a near Two and a Half Hour journey and we reached the Resort by 5.30 pm .  Our Chennai to Lucknow Flight  was by The  Indigo Airbus A 320 Flight 6E 515  Aircraft with a capacity of 180 Passengers.  That , we from the Sunder Travels made up for the larger part of these Seats made ...

Ayodhya Yaatraa Day -3 - 704

Image
                  Ayodhya Yatra - Day 3  The highlight of the day was to be the Holy Dip in the Triveni Sangamam .  For the uninformed Triveni Sangamam is the place where the Three Rivers Ganga Yamuna and Saraswathy converge into one . It is the place where Veni Daanam is given after a bath in the River .  The 20 Minute Boat Ride takes you to this place of convergence of these three rivers . The Boatmen help you to take a dip in the water . Old set of clothes are discarded symbolising the discarding of everything bad and the start of a new fresh life .  Ganga is slightly murky while the Yamuna is clearer , Saraswathy is Antervaahini and it converges under water .  The Dhambadhi Pooja after the Dip in the Holy Waters  was performed with all the diligence that the occasion demands . The Sastrigal performed the Ritual which is an almost second time Marriage where vows are taken to lead a life in all happiness and be...

VAIKOM VISIT- IN GODS OWN COUNTRY - 686

Image
 VAIKOM VISIT - IN GODS OWN                     COUNTRY  Kerala has always been my favourite place of visit over the years . Its cleanliness , its greenery,  waterways , not to forget its spirituality and beautiful people in more ways than one  have always held  a special attraction for  me . We , that is me and my Better Half have visited Kerala before  and visited many of  its  Temples and Tourist Attractions.  One place missing in this list has been the Viakom  Sri Mahadeva Temple . We decided to embark  on  a visit to this place and Mami was spot on to point out that there was a direct Train from Ambasamudram to Vaikom Road by the 16792 Palaruvi Express starting from ASD at 11.57 PM and reaching Vaikom Road Station at 7.30 Am the next morning . Nothing could be better ,  We made the Reservations for both the Up  and Down Jorneys on the 11 th and 13 th Jun...
