Good bye to Mr.Apricio A Pereira

Myformer boss Mr Apricio A Periera is retiring from Govt service on 30.5.08.
He was very good, considerate and a thorogh gentleman. I wish him all the very best and a happy retired life.

A very imaginative lady

A very original and truly amusing joke:

A farmer stopped by the local mechanic shop to have his truck fixed. They couldn't do it while he waited, so he said he didn't live far and would just walk home.

On the way home he stopped at the hardware store and bought a bucket and a gallon of paint. He then stopped by the feed store and picked up a couple of chickens and a goose. However, struggling outside the store he now had a problem - how to carry his entire purchases home.

While he was scratching his head he was approached by a little old lady who told him she was lost. She asked , "Can you tell me how to get to 1603 Mockingbird Lane?"
The farmer said, "Well, as a matter of fact, my farm is very close to that house. I would walk you there but I can't carry this lot."

The old lady suggested, "Why don't you put the can of paint in the bucket. Carry the bucket in one hand; put a chicken under each arm and carry the goose in your other hand?"

"Thank you very much," he said and proceeded to walk the old girl home.On the way he says "Let's take my short cut and go down this alley. We'll be there in no time."

The little old lady looked him over cautiously then said, "I am a lonely widow without a husband to defend me. How do I know that when we get in the alley you won't hold me up against the wall, pull up my skirt, and have your way with me?"

The farmer said, "Holy smokes lady! I'm carrying a bucket, a gallon of paint, two chickens, and a goose. How in the world could I possibly hold you up against the wall and do that?"

The old lady replied, "Set the goose down, cover him with the bucket, put the paint on top of the bucket, and I'll hold the chickens."

Haircut

I got my hairs cut today. The cutting was so bad that my family was shocked to see my new hairstyle (or hair less style!). They exclaimed that my present look is so ugly ( a candid admission that earlier I was handsome!). The best remark came from Vaish who told that the barbers should not be paid any money for suh a bad haircut. In any case, for some time I may have to silently digest the puzzling and funny look of onlookers!

Hearty Congratulations to Sir Badkar

I am glad to announce to the world that Sri M V Badkar has been promoted as a DIG in Coastguard and posted to Mumbai. Promotions are difficult to come by in Govt Service and often there are many obstacles for good work i.e., श्रेयांसी बहु विघ्नानी . I am lucky to see him rise in his career. He is very committed, sincere to the core, very polite and richly deserves every accolade. (Although I can go on adding every adjective, I am restraining, else you may think that my genuine feelings too as an exaggeration!)
My best wishes are to him, ofcourse in Sanskrit:
शुभमस्तु पंथाना: व्याप्तो भव सुप्रसन्नो भव सुप्रसिद्धो भव

Thanks to my dear Sudhir

After a long gap, I am here to update my blog. The specific reason is to thank my dear friend Balathbail Sudhir Acharya. He is my friend, philosopher and guide in the world of computers. Although, there are n number of reasons to thank Sudhir, the latest two reasons are:
1. Vaishnavi had pressed few keys and the display in my home PC had tilted 90 degrees. I pressed hundred more keys, yet the display was not set right. In fact, the remedy I attempted was worse than the disease. Hence approached Sudhir. अन्यथा शरणम नास्ति . He solved the same with his brilliant answer. All that was to be done was ctrl+alt+up arrow key.
2. I was struggling to get google ads i.e., adsense to my page for nearly six months. Typical of me, there was no progress. If at all you see few ads, it is because of Sudhir's master strokes.
Thank you Sudhir.
