Snippets Of Life

Dear Satchi,

This was a long, long reading and watching. I find courage to write long posts after going through this.

I am deeply touched. The first two sections were amazingly well-written and video-graphed. You are telling us in no uncertain terms what life is all about and how courageously one can keep oneself alive. I have often put up the quote below in IL. It is a translation I did of a poem written by Buddhadev Bose. This is not the whole poem. Only a part of it. The poem itself is quite long. If you wish, I will send you a link to the full translation.

As far as newpapers go, I find myself in full agreement with you. I am gradually losing interest in them. Even in the internet versions. With each passing day, the newspapers are getting ever more trashy. And bulky as well. Yet, for a good cause I suppose, I keep buying them. The maids who work for us, store them. After a month or two, they sell them off and make a bit of money. Actually, this is an indirect way of helping them. I could have given them the money as bonus, instead of converting the money to newspapers and then converting the old newspapers back into money. I have chosen the indirect route, primarily because I do read the papers once in a while. Am I not a man? And is not a man stupid?



Finally, your ufo idea is charming. I liked the sky, the colour of it, the clouds billowing. Perhaps they were there too. I need to borrow your glasses to see them. But an easier way to locate them is to borrow your imagination. Which I did.

You helped me tour the universe, time, space and all the rest of it. Sitting here in front of the computer.

All the best.

Hey Satchi, beautiful snippet. Kudos to the brave doctor and the boy and the family. It is such inspirational stories that motivates us.
Yes. newspapers are a nuisance. We just order it for the coupons, and use it for compost.
