story teller: The Story Of Last Prisoner Of War
This link was sent to me by Mrs Rita Chauhan (then Rita Panwar) who taught me in school when I was in Class 9. Now 41 years have passed and she still keeps in touch with the naughtiest of her students - me!
Read this story - it deserves to be read and that is a tribute  to "Joe" who was an Indian Army taken prisoner by the Pakistan army and incarcerated there!

I am now well on the way of getting the first of my Children's Books published which is a relief to my friends and family since they were quite certain that I had become a slacker as soon as I left my bank ha ha
Well, I had been a slacker for the first 6-7 months and really enjoyed being one. Now the Illustrator - a very talented young art student from Serbia has been awarded the contract and the images are now being made - one is on the link too though it is still under revision - so hope to have it on Amazon and Createspace Bookshelfs by June end. I hope you all buy some copies - I think you will like them. Once again, the link to the Preview of the Book is :-

THE SONG OF THE SOUL OF THE PARTY - a poem by me

THE SONG OF THE SOUL OF THE PARTY

by Deepak Menon

The intensity of the blow which has

NOT FALLEN YET,

Has crushed me from within with

ITS IMPENDING THREAT,

Has ulcerated my mind, body, soul

Reduced my existence to despair

AN UNDYING DEATH.

**

For die I can not, nor

EVEN DESPAIR STILL,

Tho' bent within and knotted without

OF SHATTERED WILL,

I must forever crawl, however cringing, towards

the dawn of hope always hidden beyond

THE NEXT HILL.

**

But hope of what, I dare not even

CONTEMPLATE,

Each victory won, does, to

EQUAL LOSS RELATE,

To cherish hope is to shatter hopes

The face of doomed love is

CLOAKED WITH HATE,

**

So close I my mind in

AN IRON BOX,

So turn I my heart

INTO COARSE ROCK,

So paint I my face into

A WOODEN SMILE,

Stifling the pain with

LAUGHTER AND TALK.

Deepak Menon

MICHELLE AND ABHISHEK GOT MARRIED TODAY - 11 MAY 2012

I attended their wedding at the Centenary Memorial Methodist Church today and time stood still - no it rolled back 35-40 years - for starters - James Rodney Hersey was there - 87 years old and still looking a very sprightly 50-60! The full complement of the Grays were there with Phyllys John and both the daughters Barbara and Jenny and their husbands and children - such an incredible thing meeting them after all these decades! I posted the card and left for the reception at Dwarka with Abha, who missed the wedding because she had to attend a high level meeting or something at the bank - but she met a lot of of people there.
And the reception in Dwarka was a very very nice affair - lots or really excellent food and lots of dancing and fun too.
I am not uploading photos one by one and hope someone will comment and fill in the names of every one - there were lots of relatives and children I did not know - remember we met after over 30 years.
Will be back to post more here and lots and lots of photos

And I say there is nothing like free will ...

Why Fatboy Slim skipped us - Hindustan Times

Link That is another "tongue in the cheek article by Serena in the Hindustan Times" and I enjoy her not so subtle yet effective style of writing with ingrained humour which definitely brings a smile to my face .. and I will not shift to Mumbai because I need "space" for an afterparty - a concept I learnt from her earlier article on the subject! 

Does the world need a universal language?

Link
I think that this is a really interesting topic - the link above leads you to the Buddhist Travellers Group of which I am an uneducated member amongst the many philosophers and sages there .. but I have commented there too - and my comments need replies too - hope you all reply too

The Asteroid that Flattened Mars

iframe width 480 height 270 src http://www.youtube.com/embed/JgMXPXdqJn8?fs 1 frameborder 0 allowfullscreen> /iframe>

This is one of the most pragmatic and thrilling video films about Mars that I have seen ever since I started searching for information about the red planet - Mars. The narration is clear and lucid and designed for every one to understand without any technical jargon to confuse people who do not have a technical science background or exposure to such an environment. Do spend some time to see the video and hear this wonderful narration with your speakers on. You will remember it always as most memorable.

Skip these five at after-parties - Hindustan Times by Serena Menon

Link

The little link above will take you to one of the many articles that Serena Writes for her Newspaper - and now that after reading it I know that the "After Party" is the in thing to keep us active and drunk with the joy of life - when do we have our first phase of "After Parties" .. will someone plan for me?

Extinction of Plant and Animal Species

I SUGGEST THAT EVERY ONE SHOULD READ THE ENTIRE ARTICLE AND SPREAD THE WORD TOO...It is a mater  of DESTINY !
