Home Sans Children a House

 

Home Sans Children a House

 

The magic thing about home is that it feels good to leave,

 and it feels even better to come back.

Wendy Wunder

 

Entered my home beautiful, Lord Ganesha sitting in the front yard to through away evils, foot mat dark grey with black border as if new; cleaned shoes, proceeded, a computer on a modern office like table; chair normal but office design; used for consultancy work when needed,   more often for Twitter, Blog and Facebook and of course the Solitaire Cards and floor shinning bright. Bed room with pillows placed proper and bed sheet wrinkle free like five star, side table with medicine box and a jaggery container, white shinning almirah closed with handles sparkle white, side mat quite stylish and shoe rack with freshener. Everything in perfect order. Wash room extraordinary cleans all gadgets working well, water pressure full and so is with other room and wash room. Drawing room has all the rankings a Hotel Five Star Lobby can have clean sofa with ample cushions and art pieces to decorate with a stylish curtain fully stretched, a transparent centre table for munching with without coffee mugs. 

Our cooking area is special, extra ordinary, spacious with all the facilities that should be available in a kitchen, tastefully decorated and a small bright white temple with “Laddoo Gopal” at the centre; with an air-conditioned to take care of hot summers and a heavy exhaust fan to through away burnt Punjabi Tadka as it is customary with every dish: has sufficient storage space with a glass top dinning table adoring a bouquet. 

In fact, every part of our home is in perfect order like in Five Star rather, as I call it, Seven Star: always good for a few days then we long for Dal Roti of Home Kitchen served with love and affection not for hefty tip, where there is cozy quilt of my children and grand children, good morning, shrill, anger, laughter, coming, going, frequent changing, food likings and dislikings too, breakfast, lunch and dinner and in betweens,       munching, chocolates and chew gums too, untimely visits to gyms, friends, and favourities too, Swiggy boys at odd hours with paper bags full, courier boys with packets morning, evening and at night too, Uber boys counting minutes in front: we busy without a goal and day passes in a wink brings sleep without Alprax 0.25mg, morning is fresh with good boiled tea prepared self for sip and also for my better half. 

Grands have gone far, to chisel with higher studies, their careers bright and grand; our blessings always and advice galore: has lengthened our days and nights too with little to do and listen: nobody to knock at night and come from back stairs to say “Good Night” loud.

“What is a home without children? Quiet.”

Tolerance a Character Gem

                                            Tolerance a Character Gem   Without tolerance, our world turns into hell. Friedrich Durrenmatt   Men are respectable only as they respect. Ralph Waldo Emerson   Good-humor makes all things tolerable. Henry Ward Beecher   Since others have to tolerate my weaknesses,  it is only fair that I should tolerate theirs.

Pulsifer   I have been keeping this write up pending for many days, trying to find out the exact meaning of “Tolerance” in day to day life vis-a-vie various groups and individuals we come in contact daily and found it was too complex and depends on the response of the receiver made up of so many complexities and genes in addition to indiv...
