Unmuddlings!!

As I wait for an associate who is running an hour behind schedule, my mind wanders to the ribbon cuttings and feel good pep talks that are a part of the parcel of senior most government official’s job. With private India shining, we find such dignitaries needing to go all over the place – for varying rhyme and reason and carry out their variety of song and dance [no offence meant really, just a puerile description of khadi or kanjeevaram clad ribbon cutting and bhashan]. What follows them everywhere they go, without fail is the bandobast and the protocol. Sanitization as someone would call. Painted bamboos, cavalcade drills, badges for the hosts [gatepasses!!], state level functionaries for protocol, history of the co-guests in the dias....and a good more such real thrills and symbolic frills. But tell you what something equally critical, gets washed under the carpet. Considering the wishy washy nature of a large number of real estate deals, entered into by many influential members of ...

Quite a Hustle!....Activity…everyone…but for one or maybe but for one dozen…all standing up…as if the class teacher has entered the class…..Good Morn!!! Miss… [as we used call that in school; not the somber ‘Madam’ – maybe the teachers themselves coined it to make their elegant selves look / feel younger :)……well that takes me to Select City Walk, Saket…..and the variety tricks incl bold dressing that all aunties do to look younger and more attractive…n the outcome is not bad at all……well I must add, I found some excitingly aesthetic dressing by youngies too last time around…] And the lou...
