<span style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">A gangling 60-year Amit looked up to Karan, the director, from above his thick, blue frame of progressive lenses and nodded. 'When is she coming?'</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">'She'll be here anytime now,' Karan chuckled and winked, 'you going cold feet after all these years?' Amit opted to ignore. It wasn't that he was dying to see her; yes, there was a bit of apprehension, a little discomfort maybe, he wouldn't deny; and then he knew how habituated she was to coming late to sets, sooner she arrived, sooner they'll be done for the day - it was out of this mix of eagerness that he asked; Karan was way younger to understand.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">'Guys get your gears ready, chop chop,' Karan clicked fingers to shepherd his team to the centre of the set.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">There, there, chop, chop - lamb chop, pork chop - these kids, this gen, and their ways of expression, Amit shook his head in disapproval; a tad supercilious he was, he admitted, about how well they manoeuvred feelings, emotions with an art of language in their times. Chop chop didn’t stand a chance for his demeanour - not when he was young like Karan, not now when his 6' stature stooped slightly as though to bow before his ripe years in respect.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Was it to defy his conviction or had she mended her ways, Amit thought when she, Rekha, appeared dot on the hour she was expected. Her elegance hasn't ebbed, Amit silently admired as his eyes followed her shimmy to the podium in a light blue linen gown, her auburn tresses tied in a top notch. Assistant and helpers flocked to her like flies to flame. She removed the dark brown shades with a nimble touch of her left hand and her dewy gaze grazed his through a sea of heads; dimple in her left cheek dipped just enough to acknowledge his presence.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Soon after, Karan was on his toes - the air of the set was impregnated with the usual bustle of shooting, and Amit was in limelight with Rekha, first time after decades, amidst 'lights', 'camera', 'action', and other instructions thrown around by Karan. Hours passed like they never passed before. Their silver screen prowess that swept thousands of fans off their feet in their late teens was working magic once again on the floors of the sumptuous set. Wrapping up a successful take, Amit offered, Rekha, 'Mind a cup of ginger tea?'</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">'Like old times? Can't see why not,' her beautiful eyes danced with a naughty grin. Flaunting her flair in gorgeous black-gold silk that she slipped into for the her scenes, curving up ruby red lips, batting her </span><span style="font-size: 14px;">thick dark eyelashes, she added, 'Are you nervous catching up after what, twenty years?' Her laughter rang in his ears pushing him down the memory lane. Once they held hands, lunched, dined, and dated - mostly on the sets that were their workspaces and occasionally off the sets. One remarkable shot in the tulips-wrapped variagated fields of Netherlands had especially brought out a camaraderie out of them that till date he couldn't tell apart, discriminate, if it was love or simply acting. And here they were again, miles apart metaphorically, seemingly lonely in their own busy worlds, or so he thought.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">After a formal exchange on each other's families, they talked over ginger tea with the verve of past times about their roles, how to amalgamate their sequences seamlessly, what else the capable director could possibly do with their sequences, and what pains they might face with the punctilious producer of their upcoming movie that brought them to the common floor. The old times were gone, but the old spark, he realised, hadn't.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Weeks passed, the initial awkwardness of meeting a familiar, close what - friend, ex-fiancée, no he could not put a finger on the relationship - after a long time had settled. Amit was once again at as much ease discussing how to perfect the scenes as he was forty years back. Was she too, he wondered.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"> ~~~~~~~~~~ </div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span>He wouldn't be tired of it if the shooting went on for ever. But good or bad, in favour or against, change rules all realms; they were soon gearing up for the concluding take. Amit was early to the sets, script in his hands, he was glancing more at the door than at the wad of print outs in his hand - the door that'd swing any moment making way for the beguiling racy Rekha. Through his impatient waiting, he reflected how flawlessly Rekha still wore bold</span><span> makeup and attitude that crowned her as the queen in glamour globe. Beauty conglomerates those days couldn't think outside her presence in their glossies and promotions. Newbies in the industry still had an ocean to pick up from her grace and skill of holding every attention even after all these decades. His train of thoughts were pulled to a halt as she stepped in draped in </span><span>ocean green risqué chiffon accentuating the greenish gleam in her eyes. </span><span>The dot at the corner of her left upper lip never attracted his attention as much before. He was finding it increasingly difficult to keep his head straight as his presence gravitated to hers. H</span><span>e hurried to the sets lest his actions or words turned to a fiasco. Karan didn't spare much time either to commence the final take. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span>The frame was domicile of a wealthy merchant; a magnificent chandelier emanating soft yellow glow was perfect for their on-screen clandestine meeting. Outside was gloomy, a light drizzle pitter-pattered on large French windows, adorned with silky valances. </span></div></span><span style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span>'And what did you think when you simply walked out of my life to marry Jaya? What more did she have that I didn't? Where were your lovey dovey commitments gone - you are the <i>Hriday</i> <i>aur</i> <i>Jivan </i></span><span><i>Rekha </i></span><span>(life and love lines) on my palm that I'd keep safe in my fist? Were they all empty, hollow?' Her</span><span> tremulous voice echoed in the sets while her </span><span>querulous vengeful eyes gave way to tears. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span>The light pitter patter was gradually gaining strength, pounding on the French windows. </span>He knew he'd be in the eye of this storm some day, yet he couldn't resist when Karan offered the role to him, detailing every bit of the script, story, and co-actors. Amit steepled and buried his face in his hands.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">That was only a part of her script, he calmed himself, I must stick to mine. But nothing could reign his unbridled thoughts. His memory ran him through his capricious years of youth - falling in love with Jaya, moving to his ritzy house at Jubilee Tower smothering any vestigial warmth for Rekha, delivering box-office hits year after year while at the helm of his thriving business, nurturing two adorable children, and then sliding down the hill of fame - nothing lasts forever. He had assented to do this film in an endeavour to overcome the tough trough of life he was in - the trough where he agreed to meet his enigmatic ex with an anticipation to ignite the silver screens once again for their audience. He was sure their flair would garner love, profiting the business, and in turn spiking up his revenues</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">It wasn't part of the act, yet he found himself striding to her, lending his lean shoulders caressing her deep wounds, and mumbling, 'Life isn't always fair.'</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">'Camera, close in,' Karan whispered to his troupe.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">'Look, I can't fix things, but I'll do what it takes to mend as much as I can,' Amit uttered, his voice muffled in grief.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">'And bring back all that I missed in the years that have brought me closer to my grave?' Rekha was relentless.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">'Cur, cut,' Karan had allowed a bit of leeway to the veterans of the industry to drift off the script, but not this much. The storm outside was raging, wind and sheets of rain hammering the French windows in an endeavour to break in. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Karan wheeled his camera away to give them some time to reconcile and recover only to face an irascible petite Jaya walking into the studio. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">'Ma-mya-m, you?' Karan stuttered.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Jaya glowered at him and padded through the tunnel of people to her spouse, 'Shall we?' A cold stiffness cut through Amit and Rekha as they staggered to their feet.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">'Jaya, look, it isn't what you might surmise, I, we...,' Amit spluttered.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Jaya gestured to stop, slipped her fingers into Amit's knotted slender ones, and pulled him away - away from the set, away from the crowd, away from his old flame. There was no turning back. Outside, the unabated storm was picking speed or slowing down, nobody could say.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Dona, Sydney, Feb 2024</span></div></span>

Forty years back (don't start guessing my age), I was terrified to look down, even from the comfort of my mum's tight reliable hold, while seated in one of India's oldest chairlifts at Rajgir. None of the renowned ruins of Nalanda or Buddha's stupas from that trip made it through the years of my memories except for a black slipper that might have slipped off from some scaredy mouse's wavering feet in the trench, way below the ropeway. Lesson learnt - I gave a wide berth to any rides, except a few unmissable occasional ones, once a decade, like Space Mountain at Disney Theme Park and a small roller coaster 🎢 ride at Gold Coast Theme Park. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Enough dust settled on that memory to allay my fears and to prompt me to believe I was more courageous, ropeway must be a lot of fun now. I defied my younger self's trepidation and hopped onto the chairlift across Cataract Gorge at Launceston, Tasmania, just a couple of weeks back, camera readied for video recording of the South Esk River beneath, bubbling and vivacious out of First Basin on its way to Tamar River. But as soon as the ground started receding, I heard myself, 'okay, I thought this'd be enjoyable, but it feels quite scary.' Camera off, minimal guards of the chair tightly clutched, and eyes shut, I was on the verge of tears. Oh God, somehow, take me to the other end, I'll never ever repeat this mistake. Before my prayer ended, I felt air weaving through a slew of my hair, heard the rushing of the stream bringing life to the dour of the gorge, and the dangling chair wavering at one of the nodes - I assumed I was gaining a height of 8849 m above sea level. My prayers intensified, I was petrified, and if my phone were a living thing - crush-e-fied. Had I opened my eyes, I probably would've realised I wasn't as high up there as I was imagining. But if I opened them, I don't know, I could've been a nincompoop and jumped out of fear (I did just that from the pillion of a racing bicycle in similar state of mind decades back; but this was a different game). In short, I was between a rock and a hard place. Upon landing safely, I thanked God to give a new start to this precious life, thanked myself for the grit in bringing back my phone, and vowed not to embark upon any such nerve numbing rides. My spouse wasn't far. While I believed I was braver, he took the ride accepting and acknowledging his acrophobia, and agreed to be accompanied by our son who apparently provided the necessary moral support. It was his idea of shutting the eyes that I borrowed from the discussions that ensued from his consternation right before the ride.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The end of chairlifts, right? Wrong! Why would I essay this anecdote if it were the end? </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">A week later, I bumped upon a colleague who waxed eloquent about the beauty of Mt Kosciuszko and Thredbo area. Wide-eyed, I listened and urged my spouse to dig a bit for more information. Boy, we were stumped to discover that a long and expensive chairlift, which we both detest, takes aspiring hikers to Eagles Nest, Australia's highest restaurant. It marks the start of a 13 Km return (4 to 6 hours return) grade 3 walk, to Mt Kosciuszko, the highest peak of Australia sitting at 2228 m above sea level on The Great Dividing Range. It's one of the Seven Summits, and easiest too. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Taken aback at our colleague's feat (for not many we know of hike or trek), we confirmed with him the following day, 'Did you do all of these?' </p><p style="text-align: justify;">The college blurted, 'Why would we? Explore the lower trails near car park. That's good enough to give the feel of the place.' </p><p style="text-align: justify;">'Now what?' My spouse and I were about to abandon the idea of another hike only days after the treacherous Mt Hauy walk at Tasmania compounded with <i>life-threatening</i> chairlift - only for us for I saw others casually chit-chatting to their partners and swaying their feet when I squinted to check how far I was from the end of ropeway at Launceston. But our 16-year old, blood boiling with adventure, wouldn't let us. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Fast forward a few days, history repeated itself. We started for Thredbo via Canberra and Jindabyne on 26th Jan - Australia Day long weekend. Brushing off the promises made to God, we hopped on to yet another chairlift, Mt Kosciuszko Express Chairlift, on 27th Jan early morning, around 9 am. Railings of the chair tightly clenched, eyes shut, two stupefied souls on either side of a teenager, oblivious to any fear, started off for Eagles Nest. The only difference this time - phone was safely tucked away in backpack, and the chairs were commodious enough to accommodate three of us - we were in the game together. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQMTabaehiG_eDqWPRe5bqDJ22tRYIOyZ_0_rI8PVyfkCtyBI8ZnnIA6gTSvEbmxoYJSEd6xONdeQdbdfM4EtOe-L9qJ2NmRANkBljE_D9SfVDQKDJia3_yVxgzGA6m-tcM4spFBkYkGv0kfU_bmPB33eQEM6oPQVsQcvHfGsti4y74Qrr8GWD_AQnz6g/s4032/IMG_8232.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQMTabaehiG_eDqWPRe5bqDJ22tRYIOyZ_0_rI8PVyfkCtyBI8ZnnIA6gTSvEbmxoYJSEd6xONdeQdbdfM4EtOe-L9qJ2NmRANkBljE_D9SfVDQKDJia3_yVxgzGA6m-tcM4spFBkYkGv0kfU_bmPB33eQEM6oPQVsQcvHfGsti4y74Qrr8GWD_AQnz6g/s320/IMG_8232.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3P2E2T7qW3W5tICLwUMWFsFpJkLHjAeckRkhDbGB_5sZEYJszStCvczLHduVtXItsURsMCgjyIgMBl38pJvXVfidHpSmiCVpkWkqtOXJJvdImtrOO-6xqhAj8WUgnfIGn73rj3fpilrWsUlvtuv1ngWmtOnqFztCqjZysIFgdlcNeVWly1gpS-Z5SJVc/s4000/20240127_092224.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3P2E2T7qW3W5tICLwUMWFsFpJkLHjAeckRkhDbGB_5sZEYJszStCvczLHduVtXItsURsMCgjyIgMBl38pJvXVfidHpSmiCVpkWkqtOXJJvdImtrOO-6xqhAj8WUgnfIGn73rj3fpilrWsUlvtuv1ngWmtOnqFztCqjZysIFgdlcNeVWly1gpS-Z5SJVc/s320/20240127_092224.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOAj_vMeaod3ZAEgDK6PDHxAeNBP-lwCOOjJFKVHLNgE72eWD5AAwAciL1kP3ai_nPy3QbKXFhCVWZQqTKTU7P8mYRPm0Rxkpcw3vbkoOqfhMgzkGq9Sp8hDtszjtN3Ue1_895OpU9RjrG4nYEjhyphenhyphenUXUUVULR_ixN270niAVDiYJiT3HWj5iuTY2GAHZc/s4000/20240127_092228.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOAj_vMeaod3ZAEgDK6PDHxAeNBP-lwCOOjJFKVHLNgE72eWD5AAwAciL1kP3ai_nPy3QbKXFhCVWZQqTKTU7P8mYRPm0Rxkpcw3vbkoOqfhMgzkGq9Sp8hDtszjtN3Ue1_895OpU9RjrG4nYEjhyphenhyphenUXUUVULR_ixN270niAVDiYJiT3HWj5iuTY2GAHZc/s320/20240127_092228.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Hiking to the top of Mt Kosciuszko was by then on our cards.

The 13 Km return walk from here, was strenuous yet rewarding as any hike is. A metallic meshed path, Kosciuszko Walk on Google Maps, meandered through alpine landscape and lakes, bridged over rivers and marshes, and constantly ascended to lead us to the Summit Walk, about 1 hour 15 minutes from trailhead at Eagles Nest. We stopped by at the Kosciuszko Lookout, Lake Cootapatamba Lookout, and the lookout that marked Australia's highest toilets to photograph the unique flora and fauna (read ravens only) of the region. Another gruelling 45 minutes hike on rough gravelly path with little sections properly paved, lead us to the summit. By then every breath was a grunt and the chilly wind was cutting through whatever part of face was exposed. We queued up for photo session at the trig marker of the summit. Several coveted clicks later we joined the hoard of hikers sitting around for snack break to have waffle, banana, chips, and water. There wasn't much about the peak itself - it wasn't anything unseen before, except for the feeling of achievement to have assaulted Mt Kosciuszko that we were steeped in. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

We even spotted our 3 white towels we left for drying (unlike in the US, air drying is permitted in Australia as long as they are at or below the parapet level) in the balcony of our acco at Kasees in the little settlement of Thredbo. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju9OW9Fr_ljq5BJV7n9S-WjhwKKetczEBljFGBj21e-IFxgDTfgwio0OxTZXH2EtTwzxgyObCsVf2LGUtf14R6z_RBCyfNqlg9mK4P3w2DFDo_1lv3FZbgRIG-Y5ziGfGH_R_ESe0_30lxZlXDkG03l99WaLn-qziMkNPLVRBLz7ndTP-dmBf17JWJmQI/s3088/IMG_8323.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3088" data-original-width="2316" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju9OW9Fr_ljq5BJV7n9S-WjhwKKetczEBljFGBj21e-IFxgDTfgwio0OxTZXH2EtTwzxgyObCsVf2LGUtf14R6z_RBCyfNqlg9mK4P3w2DFDo_1lv3FZbgRIG-Y5ziGfGH_R_ESe0_30lxZlXDkG03l99WaLn-qziMkNPLVRBLz7ndTP-dmBf17JWJmQI/s320/IMG_8323.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <i>A goodbye selfie at the summit </i></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP8mmzZ7EPWhpG6NDj0ZCdRYM8Sksf-df9mPrDrEmxA2VWjzlB2q-ySnQoUuxeVkKRHdZMsFAAmeur7z1x-GPB1aLe_FKA9035bAm97ADHeBhjcvT316fLrtbj1C9eXuOGjeqI_PBsWn3dl8NyqdUFMj4RbGTmwtDR54C-4FgVrXwAHUKj48dR4dJIvJo/s4032/IMG_8327.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP8mmzZ7EPWhpG6NDj0ZCdRYM8Sksf-df9mPrDrEmxA2VWjzlB2q-ySnQoUuxeVkKRHdZMsFAAmeur7z1x-GPB1aLe_FKA9035bAm97ADHeBhjcvT316fLrtbj1C9eXuOGjeqI_PBsWn3dl8NyqdUFMj4RbGTmwtDR54C-4FgVrXwAHUKj48dR4dJIvJo/s320/IMG_8327.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifSL9MjOfz-ZPgeGGjx2736wnEg523UZ3du-VEKDidmpPTizlwGnSRfoaONu8-6Tr3hJYq6qpT0NoSw25dW6aRaQ0NsloDK1ldYsNjO8olHQVCbDU4J0gBzzsd09D7Q1vmoAo41H8Jo-6-YmOoVku_L0J_3ey_5MibQEkDPk1KfEKVeSmslHV8sSlpZj4/s4032/IMG_8328.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifSL9MjOfz-ZPgeGGjx2736wnEg523UZ3du-VEKDidmpPTizlwGnSRfoaONu8-6Tr3hJYq6qpT0NoSw25dW6aRaQ0NsloDK1ldYsNjO8olHQVCbDU4J0gBzzsd09D7Q1vmoAo41H8Jo-6-YmOoVku_L0J_3ey_5MibQEkDPk1KfEKVeSmslHV8sSlpZj4/s320/IMG_8328.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>Passing by Lake Cootapatamba landmark</i></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZKvj0UJXnYXIyAeSk9mrzNTX7vEFTdBUCCFp6M0vDPLC2795R6wStwEgvnjeRhAencer2Xyr9ZqqnNcXbW9cLVRn9efMvMXi6vrdovGjq0bU4A-FoSQdyOT2mWI336dBSNQ_pol4t8ywYn3Gntb-Ygj1S-fyAHYtjxAUkYRVaidqtPeksddo1VIxjo6U/s4032/IMG_8329.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZKvj0UJXnYXIyAeSk9mrzNTX7vEFTdBUCCFp6M0vDPLC2795R6wStwEgvnjeRhAencer2Xyr9ZqqnNcXbW9cLVRn9efMvMXi6vrdovGjq0bU4A-FoSQdyOT2mWI336dBSNQ_pol4t8ywYn3Gntb-Ygj1S-fyAHYtjxAUkYRVaidqtPeksddo1VIxjo6U/s320/IMG_8329.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>Trudging along the endless path to Eagles Nest</i> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Once at the base station of the ropeway, instead of relenting to the hunger, we quickly completed the more comfortable Merrits Gandola ride.

This being my digital diary, I'll chronicle our Tasmania, aka, Tassie trip here for future reflections.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">We were treading the paths to remarkable spots, climbing the steps to breathtaking views, and slipping into the turquoise water vicariously for quite sometime through YouTube vloggers while planning the much-awaited trip to Tasmania. Even after the trip, at quiter times, a person or a moment would pop up explaining snow wedge at Ben Lomond - wait did we pass by this guy? No, we couldn't have, he must be a vlogger - that'd jerk me back to my senses as actuality and virtuality impinged on each other. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">Yet, not a single second of the trip was deja vu - no lense on earth or vlogger on YouTube can capture the time-frozen enigmas of Tasmania. Mind-blowing beauty, heart-numbing thrill, pristine landscapes, unabated wilderness - you'll run out of adjectives. Being encapsulated by flavours of Tassie is by far the best way to appreciate; caputures I'd post here would only be my media to get to that feeling. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">While planning the trip, we gleaned information from a panoply of sources - talked to friends who've been there earlier, watched YouTube videos, navigated a labyrinth of web links to zero in on the precincts we'd include in our bucketlist - each one not only gloated of a distinctive glory, but also had a moderate edge of adventure - just right to satiate our propensity for little feats.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">There was no bespoke itinerary available as different people explore a place with their corresponding intentions and to slake their respective inclinations - hiking, fishing, baking, wine tasting, exploring historic sites, photographing, living off the grid, and so on. Thus, we tailored our own 12-day tour to do what we love the most - check the popular places , those that pop up in Images when you Google "Tasmania", and have a dash of adventure to them. Here I have penned down the highlights of our trip with captures of some exciting times.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">Day 1:</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">Our 6.30 am Jetstar touched the Tassie tarmac at 8 am. We picked our Toyota RAV4 Hybrid from Launceston airport and made our way to Bridestowe Lavender Farm - a dream spot that we knew would paint our backdrop with unique iconic quintessential Tassie summer colour. I put in quite a thought to my attire and my spouse brought out the best out of me.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOsl1XfmqqYuTizTHQNgFGji1CjCyJ4chgdsk_Zr4rJgmPlM9yLtxFw_zsINz3StQ1r11546GfUGsumWepJ6i9bDCVB6IwaIbt_VkGbVBXLhRfLQ7_80rZX-cyrbbst-yw5jZW8JOHbjnJwOmpHMX9ubqBL1WuxLRkWBhwLxXjA8Wjg_j6iY7kA4HraUQ/s4000/20231230_075658.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

What a relief to join my son, spouse, a wallaby, and a flock of peacocks after I jumped off the chair. Walking back through the trails and suspension bridge over South Esk River was enjoyable with ample opportunities and substantial time to soak in the captivating views of the Reserve while freezing a few precious moments in our captures.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

But when the sky is clear, weather is warm, air is crisp, calling of outdoor activities outstrip any inhibitions. We freshened up super fast in the contemporary ensuite and donned our colour coordinated black-white attires to gear up for the renowned Cradle Mountain. Ever since I saw the peak in picture, I imagined Tom Bombadil might pop out from one of its many rugged crevices and crevasses to save Frodo, and his fellow hobbits, Sam, Merry, Pippin. The description 'on some were standing stones, pointing upwards like jagged teeth out of green gums' seemed befitting, though far from 'disquieting' that the hobbits felt in the dusk. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Fortunately, by the time we parked at Visitor Centre, got our month-long park pass and tickets, got ferried to the Dove Late stop by one of the park buses that run every 15-minute (and the only way to reach your coveted spots in the national park after 8 am), we were beneath a dazzling overhead sun in a clear blue sky - what more, it endowed the serene Dove Lake with an enticing blue hue. Fuelled by the thought of photographs to be treasured for lifetime, we set out for two short walks to internet-star Boat Shed, and then to Glacier Rock Lookout - each a twenty-minute walk on either side of the trailhead of Dove Lake Circuit Trail. Slaked, we rested for a while at the trailhead till a bus carried us back to the Visitor Centre. It was time we bade good bye to the rugged peaks and set our directions to breathe the apparently sweetest air at Strahan by Gordon River. A lunch of footlong, packed from a Subway outlet at Launceston later, we drove to a quiet Queenstown nestled between the folds of hills blanketed by fog. Dinner was sandwiches of rye bread smeared with hummos, made and served by our son! Many thanks to him ftom his parents, completely tuckered out from the travels of the long day.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCjLBAT4_2vYYLn8-8Z7knPVNCs7MO5pyP9_74qqkeJyeqwEnIHYOxoqufse18p2FVAApVNPpotRTXZih3E7313WjWeMzQw8kZKWbqd1N8l5Y0pT3KDp3Sur9OSUQTl_tk6DqoKb_2-51kWFiFPG4cSbGcrKKxBuyon5S7IyfqNuTZkASZeSdudXBwc5U/s4000/20231231_113649.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

As if the over 4-hour drive wasn't long enough, we stopped by Horsetail Falls, Iron Blow Lookout, tried our hands on our new DJI Mini-2 SE drone at the incredibly scenic Burbury Lake, walked through the lush rainforest to Nelson Falls, strolled by the gravelly shores of a vast St Clair shore, took a break at Bonte Lagoon, and hiked up to Russell Falls and its upstream Horseshoe Falls on our way. Is it a wonder then that we reached our accommodation by the sluggishly flowing Derwent River at 7 pm? Hobart being the capital, it proferred plenty of dining options; we opted for tandoori roti, and Indian curries at Pickled Evening - starved of staple food for 3 days, it felt like a drop of water on sun-baked sand.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Moody Mt Wellington refused to remove her veil of fog and clouds. With unbelievably low visibility, it took quite an effort and time on our part to locate the wavy glass-stone Observation Shelter that floats up with every Google search of the spot. Bucket list ticked off, we quickly but cautiously descended back to the town, had our lunch at The Maharaja restaurant and retired home early afternoon for I was burning with fever. A couple of panadols and a mix of Subway/ Indian dishes for dinner sealed the day.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMA_2_gSVQdFDerGcIlc8lSjLe-JAmqpwSK00rYtefRMgTDsKRNr8jEzdjzFLqOsY4XYArVVbVp9YRaOiY-XnGN340grTFQyjADiYM7LZUubdKra6sKc9OQStwA7YbnJV5qNQbsOXSjY4jwCTV02gmL-PGWJBbqdlgQ9aDdgasivyNUTM1PxphFiIUzOw/s3461/20240102_114415~2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

That question dominated our morning; eventually, an unrelenting appetite for adventure got the better of me. I vetoed Hastings Cave and bolstered the confidence of my family to opt for Bruny Island. A short drive after, we were in a long queue for a ferry ride with our car at Kettering. Oncecat Bruny Island, we orchestrated our route to systematically cover the popular Wine Bread & Cheese, buy Manuka honey from Bruny Island Honey, assault the trail and cliffs to feature the much-planned The Arch in our photos, have handmade chocolates at the Chocolate Factory, use up the last drop of strength and energy to clamber up 235 steps to catch the panoramic view of The Neck isthmus. The highlight was definitely The Arch that many people either fail to reach or give up due to the aggressive waters that washes the feet of the cliffs protruding into the sea and blocking the easy path to The Arch during and 3 to 4 hours after high-tide. But our urge to catch a glimpse of this extraordinary and isolated rock formation was formidable. We scrambled over the cliff edges and dabbled in the waters of the roaring sea to cut our path to the coveted destination. Whoever is interested, is hereby advised to visit rest of the Bruny Island before coming to The Arch. That'd allow high tide waters to recede; that ebbing between high tide and low tide would provide a safe passage to aspiring hikers to The Arch through the adjoining beach. There is an alternate route to this secluded spot from over the Mars Buff, but that's a longer and harder trek than the low-tide path.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiotixaUqREJ65KyAbrZUA-QCv2NxO87KPJNjkbO78bj40ljrSyiriAir9AL2GBug9aRPws82560W2iAahuPxExpjM72AA_iGSTVflCsMaYXNvnWiErU9qGXxp3SY5a78j4YJo7-GEX0tlA7OzpKdWUFkkQsYuyWScvElinFcw-C6CKklW0O1INRLBgTMU/s4000/20240103_113755.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Day 6:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This day was planned light to give ourselves some rest between the dash of adventure at Bruny Island and what we anticipated for at our next destination, the alluring Port Arthur. We spent the day traversing lazily through Huon Valley - the road twining with the Huon River at places and playing peek-a-boo with it at others. Just like the Tamar and Derwent Valley, the southern part of Tassie is wrapped with farmlands lending different shades of green to the landscape. Livestock, columnar aspense, an occasional copse or coppice of conifers broke the spell of rolling hills and valleys as abruptly as they blended into the pastures. Our destination was the largest dolomite caves in southern hemisphere, Hastings Cave. We were humbled to check the stalactites and stalagmites that water has been carving for over 650 million years; the cave is still alive and water is at work even now - but the progress is too slow to perceive in our lifetime. Temperature inside is constant at 9° throughout the year making it cooler than outside during summer and warmer than outside during winter. The guide dis take us through several facts while leading us deftly through the labyrinthine passages and flights of staircases. Enfolded in the monochrome underground world, we forgot for a while the greens of fern trees and foliage that awaited our return up a steep ascent to a narrow doorway of the cave. Back at our acco, we ordered home-style cooked Indian curries, and rotis for dinner that was delivered at our doorstep. With that and a good night-sleep, we signed off from Hobart, waved goodbye to the waddling ducks that flocked to our back door every dawn and dusk, and whispered to the still-shrouded Mt Wellington, 'try keeping your veil aside when/ if we come back to you at another time.'</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

We were saved by the skin of our teeth from missing the cruise. Engrossed in the beauty of Royal Botanical Gardens at Hobart, and multiple lookouts on our way to Port Arthur, we reached The Masons Cottage studio acco sometime after noon. The room was allocated before check-in time as requested while booking four months before. There was just enough time to tuck our baggage away in the cupboards and drive to the cruise starting point. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTJ7476rrnqrHVnLUr7VnDFzCYL_SiVRXGKRq8Ly9yyBgE0jtUftMewZm4rQ-L0kjbuyCUKjMN4VPgnMYdKs67UfffgM1IlzmoxooQM5LCRtey3Ek5bq7V8zMwMenXVAJDprzP1MvbcGkue1klKHez8gVWCYa_9zpc1pivfKzbnr_TqpTqGLSLoa1j5r4/s4000/20240105_100426.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

We couldn't thank our stars more for a perfect day, wind, weather that we got on that day to reach the elusive Cape Hauy - yes, elusive, for the capricious Tassie weather enfolds the eminent Totem Pole, Candlestick and The Lanterns in cloud, fog, and rains every now and then. This was our holy grail of Tassie trip as these dolerite columns jutted out in every Web page that advertised Tassie exploration or articulated places one must visit. Every moment for four months since we booked the cruise, acco, and car, we contemplated in trepidation if we'd be blessed with weather conducive to the cruise one day and hike the next to capture the famous landforms from their base and top. Our delight knew no bounds to witness the staggering rugged craggy coastline, hosting the trio, rise from a sparkling pristine pounding turquoise waves crested in white. Further we looked up, the more dramatic it appeared. We squinted to figure out the little viewing area at the top in anticipation of the hike that was planned the next day. We suddenly weren't quite sure we'd hike for the humps of hill that rose from Fortescue Bay appeared unassailable. Nevertheless, we completed our cruise - encountered some unusually well interactions of dolphins, wowed at the sleeping, swimming, sun-bathing seals in two seal colonies, and got close to sea caves after the dolerite landforms segued to younger softer sedimentary coast. From Pirates Bay, a bus transported us back to starting point though the Doo Town that's known for the imaginatively and humorously named houses - Doo Little, Gunnadoo, Doodle Doo, and so on; the most famous is where we snacked the following day - Doo-lishus.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Hike to Hauy is too strenuous. Do you think we could manage with hardly any practice? The days we walk at all, our watches clocks hardly 5k steps, hiking isn't our cup of tea, is it? We saw the silhouette of the land rising from Fortescue Bay, dropping, and picking up height again at the end - you think our sinews ate capable of bearing that brunt? All such deliberations were tilting the scale to a 'no' until, 'we've been considering this so long, let's give it a try. Let's return from the point we face the slightest of difficulty, no questions asked, even if it means backing from Fortescue Bay or the mid-point of the trail.' My teenager son rolled his eyes, but consented to accommodate "ageing" parents; anyways - it wasn't an option for him to do it alone with caveats of unguarded edges flashing everywhere, in every videos, and reviews. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Thus we set off on 12 km unsealed road that leads to Fortescue Bay, entered our names in the register, and commenced the tedious trek. First 15 minutes was easy walk. Then the stone steps, infamous for their sheer numbers but appreciated for being comfortably carved, paved our way - a flight of 215 such steps took us up to the spot that marked Three Cape Walk (a popular 48 Km trek that hikers undertake to conquer Cape Raoul, Cape Pillar, and Cape Hauy in 4 days). By then my heart was thumping like never before - I stopped a couple of times to check if that constant thud was mine. My son offered to carry the bagpack seeing his dad struggling to keep up pace through the heat and sweat. Another flight of 115 steps, 80 steps, and 310 steps, interspersed by stretches of flat track, defied our steadfastness to conquer Cape Hauy, but we persevered - nobody willing to return. A mere 66 steps down and 35 steps up - we were at the juncture that bore the familiar signage (from vloggers) of mid-way to the Cape. Yay! One huge score to us! We rested, had juice, recovered a bit from the fatigue of an hour long walk, and stepped out with a new verve to scale the Cape. After a descend of an atrocious stretch of 600 steps, my trembling knees were clamouring for rest. The only reward was the ever-changing views of hills, bays, ocean, coastline; with the trees giving way to shrubs, the shade was gone; the sun was boring down upon us. But by that point we had vowed to see the end, we were unstoppable. Teeth clenched we walked up 225 more steps up and rested on an iron bench covertly covered by bushes - distant Cape Pillar, Tasman Island, Lighthouse were small yet significant landmarks we recognised from our cruise the day before. At that points, hikers returning from the Cape tried boosting our confidence, 'It's just a little bit more from here.' I don't blame them, but how little is bit little? Well, 45 steps up, 95 steps down, 175 steps up, 120 steps down, and final 40 steps up past a few unguarded cliff edge - by that time I was taking only 25 steps at a time. But the treasure in the end acted like a healing balm. We stood at the lookout, awed for a while - exhilaration of achievement, fatigue, sheer joy of seeing the trio dolerite columns were rushing through our senses. Out of the reverie, I quickly tried to fit the Totem Pole from its top through base along with the Candlestick and Lanterns in my photos. My plan was to match the surrounding blues with a blue jacket that I carried all along - I donned it and posed for some remarkable captures. My spouse and son got their share too. Unlike others, we spent quite a while there, knowing fully well we're never coming back. Returning is never fun, it's always harder and with the motivation to experience something new, drudgery catches up. For us, it was more than that - the monstrous stretch of 600 steps down that made our knees jelly was now gruelling and agonising way up. Each step seemed more treacherous than the one before. Our son went ahead and waited at the mid-point, at the Three Capes junction, and at the trail end - we took our sweet time to complete the trek in 5 hours (including return). We'd never forget the pain, but we'd equally treasure these vibrant captures. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOkW_byVUelHvhgeIIdqk2YTjWGvNDARkxL_Dm0RNUO7GOQRxjRYE_VNmN95z2rMJhymR8l-NGWrN8Et7M2_mNXGGUzMSdkc3BCEho1TM2RwDggsr8IzJ1ed-yKOm6fJk6uepsOZHf5iyP0S0tD89ICh6oK6VDmJWaL9Y2i6c8goO88o3FLYvQWwv71SE/s2712/20240106_084128~2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

Instead, we visited the Tasman Arch, Devil's Kitchen, Remarkable Cave (122 steps down), and Tessallated Pavement before emarking on an another driving adventure - 29 km of unsealed isolated road through Wielangta Forest Reserve from Copping to Orford on our way to next acco at Swansea. We were quite at the edge of our seats and kept fingers crossed to not get into issues with fuel or tyres. After checking in at Swansea Motor Inn (there weren't many choices, but I must admit this wouldn't qualify to even being decent), we explored the Dolphin Sands, and 9 Miles Beach. Narrow but sealed Dolphin Sands Road led us close to the well known Coles Bay - but with no means to cross the Swanwick Bay, we were far away at the same time!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

As expected, there were troughs in out travel and this rainy day did ruin our plan for Freycinet National Park. We didn't want to climb to the lookout to see a grey Wineglass Bay - it had to be sunny to view the picture perfect ocean blue curve. So, we altered our plan and decided to move to our next amazing acco of Bayside Hotel, sister of Olde Tudor of Launceston, at Saint Helens. On the way, we stopped by at Bicheno Blow Hole and were excited to catch the first glimple of much-heard-of unique boulders of the Bay of Fires. They were orange due to the lichens. At Bayside Hotel, the room brightend our mood and the rains relented by evening. We lunched on gummy (shark), chips, and crispy cauliflower bites at The Wharf Bar & Kitchen. Surrounded by the transparency of glass with open view to waters on all sides while seated beneath the warm glow of lights was refreshing. The welcoming ambience and staff, soft clinking from bar, and occasional laughter from the other tables exuded warmth that thrust this place to the top of our list of best restaurants at Tassie. Sated, we set out for the fiery coastline from Saint Helens to The Gardens. It felt surreal. What divine intervention could paint the boulders this way? They say lichens, but that explanation seemed dwarfed by the variations each spot gloated of. A short walk to Skeleton Point, and a decent drive to The Gardens brought out every flavour Bay of Fires (an apt nomenclature) had to offer. We stayed there as long as our eyes cadged to feast on the fiery orange by the mix of blues - translucent water of rock pools juxtaposed by ultramarine of deep sea. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Undaunted, we walked and dragged ourselves up the through the trail. A wallaby greeted us just at the start. Upon gaining some height, the Coles Bay, Dolphin Sands, and adjoining beaches popped up in our horizon. That was apparently midway, signage was loud and clear. 300 comfortable steps up led us to the jaw-dropping view of Wineglass Bay. The other side of the isthmus was meekly peeping as well. But the blue curve, impeccably lined with white sand, lay there before our eyes like a sapphire necklace, forgotten between the folds of Mt Freycinet and Mt Graham. We did as much justice we could to capture the beauty in our lenses - but the real beauty would belittle any captures, no matter how powerful the resolution is. Return track bifurcated at one points and the descend was negotiated with comfortable steps to the trailhead. Another item ticked off, we treaded the path back to Olde Tudor at Launceston via Campbell Town. We'd remember this place for wood carvings near The Red Bridge, an excellent lunch of fellafel kebabs at TAS SUPER Kebabs, and the recharging coffee at Bakery & Cafe - Banjo's.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikJ-PMw2rBlrZ-V8zXjxEQ9SFS9hkH6BC3ud7egO6cf3DMKJNie-Z_ZGjQW4f0ItxG8cBl8nmBIOkNdhyZIRK0UjoauoH-uIl7S9eSOl2x3Wm7h13kZMnGQbAzijdGernIxkvD9BfQGPi1-Gun60qKPz9xCEWHN4mxcAiJRR7jmHvA5L1VOByQEHVDTms/s4000/20240109_110514.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikJ-PMw2rBlrZ-V8zXjxEQ9SFS9hkH6BC3ud7egO6cf3DMKJNie-Z_ZGjQW4f0ItxG8cBl8nmBIOkNdhyZIRK0UjoauoH-uIl7S9eSOl2x3Wm7h13kZMnGQbAzijdGernIxkvD9BfQGPi1-Gun60qKPz9xCEWHN4mxcAiJRR7jmHvA5L1VOByQEHVDTms/s320/20240109_110514.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiidleMDloX6n4Dk9RAaYDHymiXCa5uicSU9X8noiKHul0byw9lvxXfVIIPX84xINVB6TlIKQx1_qS9K_zzKUnfOzU2oPEDQDVRuglX_Uf2TVzseF7-KJ5K55KATB6qUoWw-bBbN7D5y3hp5PQjJCumzotJ6iMJYByD4CInfQUSK5LQI3bnjjusdnkD5Zg/s4000/20240109_110938.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiidleMDloX6n4Dk9RAaYDHymiXCa5uicSU9X8noiKHul0byw9lvxXfVIIPX84xINVB6TlIKQx1_qS9K_zzKUnfOzU2oPEDQDVRuglX_Uf2TVzseF7-KJ5K55KATB6qUoWw-bBbN7D5y3hp5PQjJCumzotJ6iMJYByD4CInfQUSK5LQI3bnjjusdnkD5Zg/s320/20240109_110938.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsPeSx4n6rushsTED8rArvG0weP3JBS86n1-U5GRmMPdeJRlgx9Q_H1P0SMI3u52ONoJ9f63sXXgd0cdPJovoUq6ea4Un-YOhabynAi6C12hgqiJud8KsEx0pkJLuj7mbymsdaNUVpuqfiBsd_JZoGe2TpS5qLW_Mhx-82lr_qLmKn-nZazYvvcmW8Jks/s4000/20240109_125850.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsPeSx4n6rushsTED8rArvG0weP3JBS86n1-U5GRmMPdeJRlgx9Q_H1P0SMI3u52ONoJ9f63sXXgd0cdPJovoUq6ea4Un-YOhabynAi6C12hgqiJud8KsEx0pkJLuj7mbymsdaNUVpuqfiBsd_JZoGe2TpS5qLW_Mhx-82lr_qLmKn-nZazYvvcmW8Jks/s320/20240109_125850.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMaobUEVaCuCgGCMIYIyExVJAxAzs2z3nev-UGs-8DE0JmWrhIouupPZ0YJN_b5CBQUJWAFqoV8YKq8YfTDPI1tdduSpgbVcUtuTsnqFwGB_rmmQTpO9wfcCu6sBMR52BO20wlHWLCcHSy9ZCgXTxGoCn7LYFhxfRdPCFU3EfJlAdRwC3caGtcdL1e_2Q/s4000/20240109_130014.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMaobUEVaCuCgGCMIYIyExVJAxAzs2z3nev-UGs-8DE0JmWrhIouupPZ0YJN_b5CBQUJWAFqoV8YKq8YfTDPI1tdduSpgbVcUtuTsnqFwGB_rmmQTpO9wfcCu6sBMR52BO20wlHWLCcHSy9ZCgXTxGoCn7LYFhxfRdPCFU3EfJlAdRwC3caGtcdL1e_2Q/s320/20240109_130014.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Day 12:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Even 12 days seemed insufficient! We skipped Stanley, traded Hastings Cave for MONA at Hobart and Port Arthur Penitentiary Tour for Cape Hauy hike, dropped our plan to Maria Island - most of these were conscious decisions. But Ben Lomond simply exceeded our expectations. We were overwhelmed by its unbridled rugged allure and repented to not have allocated more time to this raw beauty. It always looked like Mordor - the dolerite crags with a grey jagged look appeared ominously beautiful. But what we didn't realise was that the trails to trek these crags were quite comfortable compared to the others we had for The Arch, Cape Hauy, and Wineglass Bay. Time was short, so we hiked for about a km through in the Legges Tor Summit Track that could've taken us to the top of Jacob's Ladder. We did drive to the base of the u sealed serpentine roadway but didn't dare to drive ip the 6 hairpin turns with a dramatically gaping and dropping gorge by our side. Overall, the substantial time we spent there was remarkable and was much needed to inculcate and internalise the feel of this sequestered National Park. The road that branched from Upper Blessing to the park, Car Villa, and other precincts inside were unsealed, safe, but unsealed road set us at some unease - we took that as a grain of adventure! Our return flight was late in the evening at 8.30 pm. So we got some time to munch and lunch at Sherpa - mouthwatering authentic egg thuppa, chicken thali, and noodles. Post lunch, we were at Launceston Cataract Gorge for sometime before bidding bye to Tassie.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMBDvZYCGHWXFVY4d5GOvOsE5L6QleIWkez6dwGn756ucS11WnoyiH72a_1vtwYqSjirXIdGcSAUpH80C7d4nPQ_RURnKi1k8PjPpnPD0H3PnCJ7IV-MWJtj1ZwP4cFOcMCAbymsDwyIJSu1Kdl4IXwJfL4LDZpEJDZ_gSitTsEsERMLgZnknJ_yvV2CI/s4000/20240110_110257.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

The only thing that pains visitors is the shocking number of roadkill - wallabies, tasmanian devils, wombats face gruesome deaths under cars at dusk. A particular signboard on our way to The Gardens said - Drive slow, everyone deserves a life - a picturw of tasmanian devil was painted right above. If people could avoid driving at dusk, Tassie fauna would flourish in their pristine habitat.</p><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: 15px;">Dona, Sydney, Jan 2024</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Of the many videos, and blogs that we watched and studied while planning the trip in August, a special mention goes to the below:</div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.discoveraustralia.com.au/holiday-packages/touring/tasmania.html?target=dsa-1457700910799&adgroup=133129021430&matchtype=&device=m&position=&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAhomtBhDgARIsABcaYyls58dmf126Py2C3sc7XTUeL36VptERPeUXMV_7AQy5S9r3esKTVtkaAtxWEALw_wcB" target="_blank">Discover Australia - Tasmania Touring Packages</a> page introduced and acquainted us with the places and views that tourists explore.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://worldofwanderlust.com/10-best-things-tasmania-summer/#google_vignette" target="_blank">10 Best Things to do in Tasmania in summer</a></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://youtu.be/-h1qHlZZDGE?si=BSWAPEaUyh_0BFyn" target="_blank">Cape Hauy</a> - The video that captivated us and familiarised us with the crucial junctures on the track; we knew exactly what to expect.

If their respective families could accommodate, they'd tag along too to spend a memorable day indulging in chatting, playing amateur games, and shaking a leg to the music of a popular band, invited for this earmarked day - 25th Reunion for the Class of 1998. It'd only be the first time for many to turn back to the doors they left behind when they graduated. The familiar Centennial Gate, the paths through the greens, stationery store, edifices of the alma matar silently stood the ravage of the years while the bunch of alumni explored the world outside stepping on the foundation laid by their beloved institute, none other B E College. As they return to pay homage to their years at college, my thought bubbles are a vignette of imagery in anticipation - group clicks in theme hoodie designed by Gabu, football match with fervour nothing short of EM-MB, queuing up for delectable spread in lunch, cheering in cultural program emceed by the best and most outgoing of our cohort, and the gaps filled in with unadulterated <i>adda. </i>If the names and faces of batchmates are blurry, it hardly matters as what could be more pertinent than this to jog the rusty memory? </p><p style="text-align: justify;">It's a no-brainer to fathom the stupendous and selfless work of branding team, and many others closely associated with the organisers that shaped up the reunion day and got it ready to be taken over the line. Their calls were answered with a huge uproar when every alumni, who could, decided to travel to snowball the euphoria. Some resolved as early as middle of the year to go for it and it was mostly them who commenced the activities gauging what a mammoth task they were undertaking. Others joined the bandwagon few to even only couple of weeks before - that was sheer <i>purki</i> (read a healthy mix of motivationand instigation). </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Due to prior plans, I'm unable to join; then why am I rhapsodising about it? Well, the joy of people boarding flights from all corners of the map, the eagerness in their eyes to connect to the long-parted cohort, and warmth of their smiles were too contagious to condone. Months ago when Patis' design was selected unanimously as official logo, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100094316125869&mibextid=ZbWKwL" target="_blank">BEings 1998</a> was opened on Fb, and people were being invited to register, who'd have known this was going to be one of its kind. In fact, our cohort has set a bar so high that it's now an inspiration for others to walk the path. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Every activity - writing about a friend in yearbook, spotlight on alumni in the Fb page, publishing stats of registration and spurring on a pseudo fun-competition among hostels and departments to boost the rate, dropping pics and videos of <i>ami ashchi</i> (boarding the flight) in group chats, publishing the schedule of the day with well-thought names of each event - not only lent momentum but also made each of us feel involved. Even a decision to join the party was an accomplishment for both the motivators of the cohort and the ones who finally gave in to their <i>purki</i>. It's nearly impossible to name all. But by now Kallol, Dhiman, Raja, Rana, Mahua, Madhurima, Madhubanti, Partha, Dibyendyu, Gopal, Aninda are our household names. To commemorate us, the event, and a few moments of the journey that'd be indelibly etched in our memories, I've put together these facts and frames in my to-go corner. Afterall, the journey is all that I'm sharing the verve equally with.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQV0NZTC7hgS9c6WKRw3tJDq1WMPJYoQPtva2WcOthVbLuKmuYF-tAiUEpOfiwvQo7hS4CSXLgpboPPuL68FxuLPdNQ0ygcAu2QFvavQKxEcLw6XOdoZxMFUp-nrtm-ATkvw6-lqbWK8bkXI5osoMOa799VIzaQJe2vIGyu9K9sBwJfus2aflUi9dpQ8c/s1081/Screenshot_20231222_014503_WhatsApp~2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

And where did I conjure up this definition from? Of course from the steady stream of updates from the bunch that planned to the tee and whipped up a vibrant, jubilant Batch Haldia 91 Reunion at Sunderban.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">No, I wasn't a part of it, but as I always advocate, Covid has taught us to appreciate vicarious pleasure and social media has provided the powerful tool to do just that. Nobody misses the fun! And so here I go as requested by none other than our young-at-heart pal, Arindom.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">How did it all start? Can't exactly place it - was it the exacting polling procedure to zero in on a spot through Google forms initiated by our budding entrepreneur Saugata or the artist Sabyasachi's dramatic graphical design of the tiger that'd be emblazoned on official t-shirt for the group when Sunderban was roughly thrown as the getaway venue.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-Lc-G1bwJSVhgLsNOvgelpTEuDRyqjqgKkKA55GCqLWczGFSmaAFGd7nngevJXJjukL-lhIQeSYowwo9sVtUNi37bz9JwIl4Jfjx5gwZEClE6q8R5ew7S4GToGKnz8hLZ5GLX1PiRMfAv16OM_6aOMOXClNWJkGrSvZR3OI1jRTs2zM8m9g8rc1YrvIM/s1080/Screenshot_20231218_104138_WhatsApp~2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1017" data-original-width="1080" height="301" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-Lc-G1bwJSVhgLsNOvgelpTEuDRyqjqgKkKA55GCqLWczGFSmaAFGd7nngevJXJjukL-lhIQeSYowwo9sVtUNi37bz9JwIl4Jfjx5gwZEClE6q8R5ew7S4GToGKnz8hLZ5GLX1PiRMfAv16OM_6aOMOXClNWJkGrSvZR3OI1jRTs2zM8m9g8rc1YrvIM/s320/Screenshot_20231218_104138_WhatsApp~2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Nonetheless, time took its course and the intriguing Sunderban was finalised by the popular voting. Kudos to the verve and silent efforts of the organisers - acco was booked, menu was firmed, t-shirts were printed. But for mute observers, such as us, the official excitement commenced when fashion maven Mahua declared the dress code. It went like this.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLYMiZ5nGq0CqGW_DerJNZV3784mPznlvs5qqOktT1QZb8w9DWYsY3yYIoFCIxYt2ofnYU-g9S2dYhxu0Qs_R-ATSmG4FT440cG6pTXNGgybqu3DxHD5Bu6M1Hss7yrBBGsq-qLHUeu6kOZgz46z70Il8BO5zYHp8j5cg5oofWFrPfYl63t-_vFBiTrFs/s1227/Screenshot_20231218_093237_WhatsApp~2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1227" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLYMiZ5nGq0CqGW_DerJNZV3784mPznlvs5qqOktT1QZb8w9DWYsY3yYIoFCIxYt2ofnYU-g9S2dYhxu0Qs_R-ATSmG4FT440cG6pTXNGgybqu3DxHD5Bu6M1Hss7yrBBGsq-qLHUeu6kOZgz46z70Il8BO5zYHp8j5cg5oofWFrPfYl63t-_vFBiTrFs/s320/Screenshot_20231218_093237_WhatsApp~2.jpg" width="282" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO_LZw08ZlKYmUI3v7okqWaatByr4bH0-Ey0tqx7Oh3OU8ZO_RScDs9ZcOtN0Oq5G8ujT4PxWbuj6mwS44GfMkKczebktUpmqrgxfm13Nvg1chLy9nhS058-wNP6BotMZLIXNuTpf2nW5z6H3fc5CQ2cDWIcNu0E4R-ql5aqnzLnFXQSF4bbfhVwpKPy0/s1543/Screenshot_20231218_093828_WhatsApp~2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1543" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO_LZw08ZlKYmUI3v7okqWaatByr4bH0-Ey0tqx7Oh3OU8ZO_RScDs9ZcOtN0Oq5G8ujT4PxWbuj6mwS44GfMkKczebktUpmqrgxfm13Nvg1chLy9nhS058-wNP6BotMZLIXNuTpf2nW5z6H3fc5CQ2cDWIcNu0E4R-ql5aqnzLnFXQSF4bbfhVwpKPy0/s320/Screenshot_20231218_093828_WhatsApp~2.jpg" width="224" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The most enthusiastic heart that was party to it, and no prizes for guessing the name, was our man of many colours, Rajib.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Mahua isn't somebody who washes her hands off with a declaration; she saw to the execution of her theme by assisting everyone, who needed suggestions and opinions in procuring the desired attires. This lent an edge to every AM and PM of the event with a unique shade that'd be indelibly etched in our mind - whether we participated or not. She coaxed and cajoled Manashi, Ipsita, and others, who were in two minds, into flowing dresses. The virtual spectators witnessed the entire saga and acknowledged in appreciation Mahua's sincere efforts and others' selfless support.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Thus the D-day started with smart casuals. Rajib, who was in a cosplay, parading like a Pharao with the gorgeous queen, Sumana, by his side at Cairo the day before, was suddenly by our side in t-shirt and shorts - what a transformation! (Unable to choose an adjective here - amazing, welcoming, friendly, or hilarious). Snaps of the undeniably elegant Subarna, in jeans and purple <i>tasar</i> top accessoried with simple jewelry, joining the journey, popped up on our group window. And a panoply of photos ensued from that cue. See for yourself!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsSpWL6ejD9q6rzm-amD2yNN6LiwlqSTTQ2S9e1BTF4TuPhcVJKPBytXeE-CnjYU6XB9cLjYR0EoFvf0kQIF1su2bb1Ier7SHtNIrLQq8rM53O2wBN6UjhO7fo474K6lUEn-2hG4tw7aYM3lZGRX3t_owL5AqoHFvhmZ3C8VlkQ0t4z63qt3l6dt88hFI/s1235/Screenshot_20231218_104630_WhatsApp~2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><i>Birthday, yet another one. I </i>welcome each of them with humble appreciation and thankfulness. This year, it was a scorcher since early morning and any plans for outdoor fun stood cancelled. I rounded off my journey as a quadragenarian quietly at home with retrospection of peaks and troughs that life has pushed me through over the last decade. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Blissfully cocooned in the safety net of parents, maids, and friends of a prestigious convenient gated-community, I never imagined what the decade would throw at me; afterall, I had no intention to step out of this safe haven post the US stint. But change is inevitable and it's wisest to accommodate and move on. Hence, when my spouse decided to travel and explore new horizons, I followed suit with my 8-year old to Sydney. The ways of life weren't alien, yet it was shocking to fathom how tough it was to survive on your own and take care of home, family. First two years were insanely stressful to adopt the education system and getting my son settled in a new academic ambience. Once we started appreciating how logical and bespoke the system was for each child, I started checking on career options. A new country often presents unimaginable/ unforseen impediments - was in the same spot in the US and knew better to walk through any gate that opened. It was a spaghetti junction of explorations - cloud technology, Big Data, tutoring, furthering academics - and none hung together. But my passion for language and maths finally took me to teaching - not my forte, but some inbred abilities saw me through a couple of difficult years. By then, I was already enduring physiological changes that ageing brings, rendering me osteopenic. But when Covid-19 lockdown ushered draconian regulations and harrowing days, it hit the nadir - sheer downwards incline from contemporaneous situation. Fortunately, it also turned out to be the starting point to an upwards cline scrambling to the current, somewhat plateauing curve. I switched back to the corporate groove, my son joined a school we coveted for, and we moved to our own unit (albeit on loan). Who goes cold feet at plunging gorges when a strong gurad of family, friendship, and God's blessings underpin the beauty. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Besides this remarkable journey, the decade was extraordinary in several ways. Communications and connections were revolutionsed bringing long-parted schoolmates, college friends, and ex-colleagues from all over the globe at finger tips. It was a delight to put behind past differences, envy, competition that seemed towering when I was younger but mattered the least through my ageing lenses. Once the initial awkwardness of joining the bunch after aeons was lightened, it was exciting and joyous to know of their families, their transformations, and new strengths. Not just the old ones, Sydney chapter brought new people who I'll cherish for years to come. If I wondered how long a decade could be - the answer was in my son's astronomical change from an innocent 7-year old to a capable young adult. Him taking care of his needs, presented me with additional bandwidth to rediscover edges that were largely unsharpened for years. Honing long-lost abilities of yoga, painting, reading, writing, and singing was cathartic, rejuvenating, and turned out to be effective means to connect with like-minded people. A new love I found was in plants - caring for them, knowing their nomenclature and habits, and using them as a powerful, impressive, natural decorative tool provided me with an avenue to feel restful. Kaleidoscope, my Insta profile, is a small social footprint that I just opened to mark this birthday; this'd serve as my time keeper to reflect on "<i>Where did the time go</i>" in the years to come.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Today I take the opportunity to sincerely thank my spouse for his unwavering support when I needed it the most, my parents and close friends who never hesitated to remind, suggest, and encourage me to be resilient, my current work-manager who provided me an opportunity of its kind, my supportive team members who I share a lovely and healthy camaraderie with, and Guru Maharaj - my sole source of strength. My heartfelt thanks to all who appreciate my little endeavours in creative sphere and motivates me to do more. Lastly, and most importantly, thanks to Sydney's labyrinth of excellent public transport without which a <i>car-phobic</i> such as me couldn't have found my feet in this adopted land. Of the many lessons that the decade had, an indelible one was to understand when to let go. It was unfortunate, yet meaningful to sever bonds with two close pals as we couldn't fit the pieces in the puzzles of our lives; yet, I'll be ever indebted to them for their profound and lasting impact on what I eat and wear. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Life will keep throwing challenges, body will give way, people will walk in and out leaving me in some mental state - all I pray of is wellbeing of everyone I know. May God protect and bless me and all my near and dear ones, acquaintances, every sentient life forms around me with health, happiness, and prosperity as that's what keeps me at ease. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">As for the last day in 40s, it was amazing to wrap it up with Presentation Night of Normanhurst Boys High School. With my son stepping into his final school year, such celebratory moments with his cohort, school, and teachers are now numbered. While I'm looking forward to seeing him glowing up beyond this esteemed institution, I'm also making the most of this association with the school - a soft and substantial part of being a parent.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Here's the tapestry of the past decade through some captures. <i>(Tap on a picture for clear view.)</i></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The star kids seem to be in their element on silver screen along with their equally capable co-stars. They have successfully pulled off that was expected out of them and they are clearly good at. If I have to draw a parallel, I'll go no further than High School Musical.</span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: 15px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Through a well-measured fusion of English and Indian ways in songs, dialogues, attires the vim and verve of youth has been put forward immaculately. The fiesty bunch of Archie, Betty, Veronica, Reggie, Dilton, Ethel, Jughead stood steadfastly by each other's side to protect their beloved Green Park, where every child plants a tree as they turn five - what a wonderful concept to establish a filial bond between the park and the community. In parallel, the little stories of their crushes, hurdles, ambitions, ingenuity, high octane college fests, and most importantly firming up their eponymous band were as engaging as their parents' stories of struggles and successes.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: 15px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">The denouement of race against time - reaching the 4500 mark of votes by 5 pm - is epic. It is sheer serendipity when the votes, stashed away surreptitiously by Dawson to sabotage the voting for Town Hall at the cost of Green Park, come flying and floating around the room gently in the beginning and rapidly soon after, setting the engine at full throttle to win the race. The antagonist and archnemesis, Veronica's dad, delivers the greatest quote of the movie - no one's too ypung to change the world; and that underscores the fact that underpins the story.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Of the cast, Agastya's portrayal of Archie's innocent confusion of feelings along with his love for the band, longing to escape Riverdale to join Oxford, and then doubling back to fight for the cause of saving the greens is laudable for its incredible ease. Khushi's articulation of Betty's accommodating nature, Suhana's enacting of Veronica's haughtiness and conflicting feelings for parents and friends have stolen the show. Their depiction of Betty-Veronica camaraderie encompassing meltdown to reconciliation has been quite eloquent and a delight to watch. Who could stop clapping at Vedang's painting of Reggie's swag and gift of gab that he powerfully utilises to rouse the community against constructing Town Hall in the Green Park? His appearance and performance have profoundly impacted the audience and will be remembered well afterwards. Mihir's capable articulation of Jughead's weakness for epicurean delights and his role to glue his pals together is quite reminiscent of Sid the sloth - heart and soul of Ice Age. Aditi's rendering of Ethel's realisation and return to Pam's as well as the passion in turning the community around against the new Town Hall has been a pleasure to watch - can't imagine who'd be a better fit for the role. Last but not the least is Yuvraj's Harry Potter look that pulled off the magic of reaching the wider group of entire community through his genius, powerful, self-made new fangled gadget - well done Dilton in saving the day!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: 15px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">As always, the crackerjack talent of Zoya Akhtar has brought the best out of the cast (not denying there is room for improvement, but that's true for any actor's journey) and offered the movie world another unique gem. To make the most of it, sit back and enjoy the new perspective that the director has put forth instead of comparing with the likes of conventional films. It's a Zoya Akhtar movie - it can't be anything short of a trailblazer. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Dona, Sydney, December 2023.</span></div></span><!--/data/user/0/com.samsung.android.app.notes/files/clipdata/clipdata_bodytext_231210_001823_589.sdocx-->Donahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02699399963166504239noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2292475162803939039.post-37553736226016773492023-12-01T02:40:00.000-08:002023-12-01T22:14:23.171-08:00Sukhee<p style="text-align: justify;">Sukhee - what an amazing movie - loved every sequence, interaction, flicker of emotion! What woman, working or not, is unfamiliar of the transient phases of life that Sukhee has exhibited, teenage angst to a range of flavours in nuptial life - aching to tie the knot, excitement of welcoming a baby, drudgery stemming from being a constant carer, spicing up life at times with long-parted pals, discovering lost edges. While the sweet reunion, Sukhee's confidence as horse trainer, and her steadfastness in turning familial bonds around stole the show, what I found interesting is how a stellar array of actors have pulled off such an engaging one out of weals and woes of simple quotidian life bereft of nail-biting CGI aided skirmishes or superfluous flaunting of glamour. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Dona, Sydney, December 23</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>Donahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02699399963166504239noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2292475162803939039.post-5058718257834207432023-11-29T04:57:00.000-08:002024-03-01T17:58:56.049-08:0050 by 50<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Durga Puja was round the corner. The magic of spring was touching the bare branches with sparkles of lives. It did not leave me unruffled; I slipped into my slippers and walked into my local mall for a haircut. The hairdresser did a decent job. I hopped off the high chair, quite pleased with my new look, and strolled back home. I was only titivating my hair to weigh my new look when a few white strands started playing peek-a-boo. How gross!</span></p>
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span>Squinting and rolling eyes in a desperate attempt to extricate and eliminate a single silver strand from a slew of semi-brown bunch started hurting my eyes in no time. </span><span>I tried to placate my querulous mind iterating nobody can impede the inexorable ageing process - </span><span>it's natural for hair to turn brown and eventually silvery as the relentless time ticks away; it's natural to lose teeth as the count of birthdays goes up; and </span><span>it's absolutely natural to gain turkey fat or look tubby with every passing <i>winter</i>. </span><span>But my mind, stubborn as it is, wouldn't budge - so it set up a goal of 50 by 50 - 50 Kg by the age of 50! That was the only apparently feasible one compared to bringing back lost tooth or black hair.</span></div></span><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Not that it was extremely difficult to achieve - just 3 kilos to lose in 3 years! But those kilos were as obstinate, if not more, as their opponent on the other side of the rope in this tug of war - the mind. <span>To add to that, my path was interspersed by winters! How could that be an impediment, one may wonder. Remember the sums on monkey climbing up an oily pole trying to reach the top while slipping down every time it went up or a swimmer trying to reach a point upstream being thrust back by current? Well, they still had some advantages - the monkey somehow scrambled to climb a bit more than the height it lost, the swimmer's speed was invariably slightly more than the stream's; thus they managed to get to their goals. But I wasn't a pawn of some insane mathematician, I was real and so was my mass and so were my obstacles. </span><span>With the onset of each winter all my perseverance goes for a toss and I semi-hibernate, thus walking into summer a couple of kilos heavier - more gains than losses. At this rate, no matter how one calculates, my goal would be deemed unachievable. </span></div></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Yet my intrepid mind decided to give it a go. My way forward was fraught with obstacles more dangerous than winter - oil and saturated fat, whinging at the thought of walk or exercise, and irregular sleep times. To counteract, the steadfast mind refrained me from looking at alluring offers on chips and fries - my greatest weaknesses; it coerced me to exercise at a regular cadence - a purgatory for me; and cajoled me to improved my sleep patterns - somewhere in between early bird and night owl. But those unyielding 3 kilos put up a formidable fight! </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">By the end of first year, I lost one precious kilo upon taking all the trouble of acquiring a bike, its accessories and protective gears, and cycling for an hour thrice a week - huffing and puffing like air had been sucked out of my atmosphere. The icentived effort paid off; way to go - 52 Kg by 48; 2 more kilos to lose in 2 years to be 50 by 50. </span><span style="font-size: 14px;">Not bad, I chuckled. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">But the journey wasn't a walk in the park. There were dynamic game-changing hindrances that popped up here and there as if to spice up the insipid tug-of-war game. Thus, if I thought what with an innocuous and much-awaited parents' visit, I couldn't be more wrong. I happily chomped on </span><i style="font-size: 14px;">vadas</i><span style="font-size: 14px;"> (deep-fried crushed lentil dollops), </span><i style="font-size: 14px;">pakorhas</i><span style="font-size: 14px;"> (deep fried potato dipped in flour-water mix), gulped innumerable cups of sugary tea - all served with love and care before even asked for! What soul, however wilful, could look away from such epicurean delights when they are starved of such delicacies most of the time? Consequences weren't forgiving and the scale tipped to 54.6 Kg in few weeks. Another 6 months of arduous walking, yoga, and renunciation of fried-foods later, I was relieved to see 50.3 twinkling on the weighing scale window when I was almost 49. There, there, flexing my little bumps on biceps, I smiled in admiration at my resolution. All I need is to keep doing what I was doing - and I'd soon be 50 by 50.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">As if that wasn't enough challenging - <i>keep doing what I was doing</i>, we got our new gigantic (both literally and metaphorically) showstopper </span><span style="font-size: 14px;">- Toyota RAV4 squarely at this crucial juncture of my 3-year roadmap! By the time I completed the first quarter of my ultimate year to half-century with the car at my beck and call, I was back to square one - lose 3 Kg to be 50 by 50 and this time in mere months - the SUV had not only been instrumental in my putting on more kilos but also it had </span><span style="font-size: 14px;">successfully screeched its fool-proof brakes on my weight-loss journey. </span><span style="font-size: 14px;">What's the point of losing 5 to 6 kilos to circle back to the same sticky spot, a resigned tone snuffed any vestigial urge</span><span style="font-size: 14px;">. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Little wonder, I gave up. But guess what, I endorsed those extra kilos the last laugh! 'I'm not tilting at windmill anymore,' I told my mind off and chained it to where it belonged, adding with a look of contempt, 'stop lamenting and start accepting changes - make it your <i>mantra</i>.' </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">While quelling the mind's absurd clamour, I was allowing the excess weight quite a lax time - 53 Kg by 53, be it! Under extenuating circumstances if I missed that, I needn't fret on my failure as there are ample opportunities ahead - 60 by 60, 70 by 70, and so on! 😅</span></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div>
</div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">This is how the mind and mass (read weight) emoted in the end; mind on the left - dejected, mass on the right - effulgent. </span><span style="font-size: 14px;">Deal with it mind, my sincere commiserations to you! </span><span style="font-size: 14px;">Congratulations my precious extras - you've won the game hands down!

A younger pal in our close-knit group of women shared <a href="https://www.facebook.com/raaikotha?mibextid=D4KYlr">this link</a> and queried curiously. </span><span style="font-size: 14px;">Though virtual, there was a hint of enthusiasm in her note, or maybe I perfunctorily picked it up as she usually sources and proffers palatable propositions. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">I quickly tapped the link and a girl garbed in simplicity popped up turning and twisting her arms, legs, torso with an enviable ease. H</span><span style="font-size: 14px;">er smile, accentuated by an overlapping tooth, was attractive, and h</span><span style="font-size: 14px;">er bright eyes lent expressions to her narrations/ voice-overs - one would be tempted to join her invite in practising <i>yogasanas</i>. The brief visual concluded with a rudimentary act of observing her breath, and uttering '<i>shiva shiva</i>' in the happiest, most content tone.</span></p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span>She quietly transported me to my school days. While I flunked at most of the sports, I aced the classes on </span><span><i>asanas </i></span><span>- that was the only sliver of physical training curriculum that I looked forward to. None of the postures posed any challenge to my diminutive flexible stature. Bent in an arch I touched my ankles (<i>Chakrasana</i>) and wondered what was stopping others from achieving the same feat. </span><span><i>Bhujangasana</i></span><span>, </span><span><i>Ushtrasana</i></span><span>, </span><span><i>Hollasana</i></span><span>, </span><span><i>Dhanurasana, Matsyasana</i></span><span> - my prowess was little rivalled. When I look back, I surprise my older self at the innate agility I possessed then. Why didn't anybody acknowledge or inspire me to nurture it? When did I let go of it? Am I resilient enough to reclaim it?</span></div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span>A little introspection was all I needed to realise that I traded that ability for comfort of elevators, escalators, ease of contemporary lifestyle in tables (even they are smart these days, I'm not using them right), revolving chairs, cushy couches. They have surreptitiously swindled me out of my gift - certainly it was a gift, not everyone is endowed with this ability. While these </span><span>peripheral comforts had a hand in rendering me less nimble, body bulk and ageing bones were pivotal contributributors towards the atrophy.</span></div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span><div style="font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"><span>Well, it is what it is! Coming to reclamation - it can't be easy to recover what I lost over three decades, and an expectation to bounce back to what I was is unrealistic. But it definitely is worth a try to stretch as far as I could and hone whatever little is left. Afterall, some factors have been on my side as retainers. My diet has been a saviour - principally pescatarian with an immense inclination for <i>satwik</i> self-cooked veggies bereft of garlic, onion, chillies, tomatoes has in some way helped. Driking nothing but warm water and tea has been warding off any damage that the readily available sugary ones inflict. Not having a car for a decade meant forced-exercise of walking almost everyday for my-quadragenarian-self; that has been a blessing. Anything outside this sets me at unease; thus, I never picked up any habit that'd put me through the pain of renunciation. </span></div><div style="font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"><span>[Ahem, that was the angelic '<i>yang</i>' side of my agathokakological brain talking. The demonic '<i>yin</i>' side salivate at mere thought of egg-Maggie, chips, <i>vadas</i>, Macca's Fillet-o-fish, toasted croissants. When the angels are awake, the demons sulk and skulk. As soon as the angels take a break, I indulge in such decadence and gorge on them, unbridled, until the angels, incensed, glower at me.] </span></div><div style="font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"><span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">With that in my arsenal and bitten by RaaiKotha bug, I set off to try a few intermediate level </span><span style="font-size: 14px;"><i>asanas</i></span><span style="font-size: 14px;">. </span><span style="font-size: 14px;">My first step had to be closest to my capacity - an arch or </span><span style="font-size: 14px;"><i>Chakrasana</i></span><span style="font-size: 14px;">. Of course, I couldn't even see the ground, let alone the ankles - so, I opted for <i>A</i></span><span style="font-size: 14px;"><i>rdha-chakrasana</i></span><span><span style="font-size: 14px;"> and then bent forward to touch my toes - <i>P</i></span><i style="font-size: 14px;">adahastasana</i><span style="font-size: 14px;">. What else could I try, I wondered! I bow in </span><i style="font-size: 14px;">Ardha Kurmasana</i><span style="font-size: 14px;"> pose everyday twice before my<i> </i></span><span style="font-size: 14px;">altar at home; extending that to <i>A</i></span><span style="font-size: 14px;"><i>dho-mukha Kapotasana </i>and <i>Janu Sirshasana </i></span><span style="font-size: 14px;"> was quite doable. Having no <i>acnetis</i> (unreachable area of back) meant </span><i style="font-size: 14px;">Gamukhasana</i><span style="font-size: 14px;"> wasn't a challenge. I often fold my legs and tuck them under my back when I sleep, and that paved the way to <i>Matyasana</i>. Sitting in </span></span><span style="font-size: 14px;"><i>Malasana</i></span><span style="font-size: 14px;">, like RaaiKotha, turned out to be effortless as I mop my little un-carpeted floor everyday with a piece of cloth. With a conscious effort I was able to stand upright from <i>Malasana</i> without any support. Taking it a notch higher - folding into <i>Pasasana</i> and rising to upright position - did demand some perseverance. The trivial ways of life, sitting, working, staying close to floor have silently kept up my skills alive, though not thriving - good enough to keep my spirits up! I picked up a few more moves from RaaiKotha's sessions and tried those, urging my spouse to join. 'You're not a normal almost-50-year', he barely managed half way through a squat and added, 'you carry on; I better stick to my walking regime, otherwise...'. We heartily laughed at our scatological repartee and continued with our respective businesses. That subtle compliment boosted my urge to do more. It felt like I've found my long lost ability, albeit partially - many thanks to RaaiKotha!</span></div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px; text-align: left; text-indent: -30px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px; text-align: left; text-indent: -30px;">Not just RaaiKotha, when you crave for a thing, you start seeing it everywhere. John Lubbock's 'What we do see depends mainly on what we look for,' suddenly seemed to substantiate. </span><span style="font-size: 14px; text-indent: -30px;">It was sheer serendipity that a fiesty and precocious Candy, my colleague's six-year old, put up a stupendous show of splits, squats, cartwheels when she visited us recently. About the same time, little Samaya overwhelmed me with her vim and verve for handstands. Even the forearm stand on Zoetic organic green tea-bag seemed to be clamoring for more attention than before. All that stoked my dormant edge for </span><i style="font-size: 14px; text-indent: -30px;">asanas</i><span style="font-size: 14px; text-indent: -30px;"> further. Recommender Systems of Machine Learning ensured my spirit was alight by deluging my streaming with videos and feeds of all that have fixation for fitness. A special mention goes to Shilpa Shetty where she elevates herself from mat to feet like an apparition - awestruck, I wondered how she rendered it humanly possible. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">But a myriad of sources can be confounding when you're struggling to start a bespoke course of action. So, I started following the basics in <a href="https://www.verywellfit.com/intermediate-yoga-pose-library-3567087" target="_blank">this</a>, and challenged myself further through <a href="https://www.artofliving.org/yoga/yoga-poses/yoga-poses-categories" target="_blank">these asanas</a>. I look for variations for the ones I can't fully achieve or for those that lack challenges. Then there are some that my wrists and neck give up on. I avoid a few that are split-based. Yet there's plenty more to practice. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The toughest part, however, is clinging on to it. My exercise schedule has always been a sine graph that rises and peaks during warmer months and takes a nosedive as I cuddle up in plush blankets. </span><span style="font-size: 14px;">I'm too insouciant to follow a laid regime. In its stead, I'd prefer to tuck in these little yoga-atheletics </span><span style="font-size: 14px;">conveniently between my meetings in this contemporary hybrid home-office model. This thought prompted me</span><span style="font-size: 14px;"> trying</span><span style="font-size: 14px;"> most of them in work-attire and some at office premises. Contrary to customary practices, I'm being apologist here for </span><i style="font-size: 14px;">asana</i><span style="font-size: 14px;"> </span><i style="font-size: 14px;">anytime</i><span style="font-size: 14px;"> </span><i style="font-size: 14px;">anywhere. </i><span style="font-size: 14px;">Who could say, this may</span><i style="font-size: 14px;"> </i><span style="font-size: 14px;">bolster</span><i style="font-size: 14px;"> </i><span style="font-size: 14px;">my resolve to flatten my wavy curve of exercise to retain whatever little I've regained (some graphs, unlike electrocardiogram or defibrillator graph, are best flat).</span><i style="font-size: 14px;"> </i><span style="font-size: 14px;">I</span><span style="font-size: 14px;">f there is will, place and dress can't bar it; and if you are foldable you could withdraw (<i>Kurmasana/ Garbhapindasana/ yoganidrasana</i>) and unfurl </span><span style="font-size: 14px;">(N<i>atarajasana</i></span><span style="font-size: 14px;">) pretty much anywhere in any attire! Additionally, a day of bustle punctuated with </span><i style="font-size: 14px;">asanas</i><span style="font-size: 14px;">, or stretches as I look at them, is relaxing, energising, and cathartic - far from the tedium of daily rigour. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Here are some of my most recent endeavours.</span><span style="font-size: 14px;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14px;">If this post piques somebody's long-lost interest in </span><i style="font-size: 14px;">asanas</i><span style="font-size: 14px;">, I'd be elated to have achieved injecting goodness in his/ her system! </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

But as Technology Team convened over morning tea at office this week to ask each other "R U OK?", I wondered how many of us felt the same for the space we call home. Thus "R U OK, World?" is the topic of my blog-corner today; afterall, world is all that swim, soar, and scram!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge46YKCg1dkTXLrOUoxWaxVYBUbOozryfAEpYcJdjfufW4O_cR7nHUCXSUH3wDOjdIUvEObYgnFrQPAdEiug2dvUPzGhGfmZk-80LWbk0V-XjiOBoF4A8kEEwVFQDIzQQxjdANHshO9bxMVpAbPW49W-VEI_uRm8L0Jq27b-rAbV5ty8KtMoUpJGbzs2g/s3072/IMG_3382.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="3072" height="255" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge46YKCg1dkTXLrOUoxWaxVYBUbOozryfAEpYcJdjfufW4O_cR7nHUCXSUH3wDOjdIUvEObYgnFrQPAdEiug2dvUPzGhGfmZk-80LWbk0V-XjiOBoF4A8kEEwVFQDIzQQxjdANHshO9bxMVpAbPW49W-VEI_uRm8L0Jq27b-rAbV5ty8KtMoUpJGbzs2g/w255-h255/IMG_3382.png" width="255" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>My painting and collage to portray my thoughts - inspired by the fabled Earthrise</i></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Change is the only constant. A quick search prompts the name Heraclitus as the father of the concept. It's one of the truest oxymorons that's as ubiquitous as air. Anybody who has weathered enough winters would proffer this wise advise to youngsters pairing it with "adjustment is the best intelligence" - they go hand in hand. From books to digital pages, from telephones to mobiles, from Lunar explorations to Martian - we have witnessed sea change in every sphere of life. While these changes took decades to shape up, there are some minor, almost overnight changes that has been quite perceptible - paper replacing plastic. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">And this did hit me as I was collecting my delectable juicy grilled salmon with chips from Costi's counter accessorised with <i>bamboo</i> curtlery. As a child in India, eating occasionally from banana leaf or plates of <i>sal</i> leaves stitched with rudimental twigs was nothing out of the box. Back then I didn't need to pause and appreciate how bio-friendly they were. But silently the decades in between robbed us of those days and conveniently handed us flashy, glitzy plastic food-serving packages. Fortunately it didn't take as long to address the bane as it took to admit! I admire how swiftly biodegradable paper has superseded plastic at every eatery. The takeaway paper boxes, bags, straws, cutlery have supplanted styrofoam and plastic completely. Not just at eating joints, retail giant, Amazon, now delivers boxes taped with paper tapes. Refills of pens are now shipped in paper boxes instead of plastic. Tags on dresses are now strung to the fabric with thread. Eco-friendly appears to be the buzzword from clothing to confetti. That's an astronomical step to take some unfriendly detritus off earth. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh96os72QCPq07XZrOZuZ9Ouu64Z_P5SAhO8q1Dl672T69HM4iw7DuftCxiS1Dt04-SZL_hV0Lf3AvYdP9pcfhwFA0mC0n7J6NENaPVYMvWGtfVHIdZC-nfBhdRNgbxO2WNRvU8KYYhxTQ-enYZzwIbgCNhP9wFS-85sMNDEAINAAYsZZsXet3TAc7ncNg/s4000/20230915_131023~2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2252" data-original-width="4000" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh96os72QCPq07XZrOZuZ9Ouu64Z_P5SAhO8q1Dl672T69HM4iw7DuftCxiS1Dt04-SZL_hV0Lf3AvYdP9pcfhwFA0mC0n7J6NENaPVYMvWGtfVHIdZC-nfBhdRNgbxO2WNRvU8KYYhxTQ-enYZzwIbgCNhP9wFS-85sMNDEAINAAYsZZsXet3TAc7ncNg/s320/20230915_131023~2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijriD3NKdDbROwKPe79Qe0rxb_WnoMfunyoQcVe-1vn5N-8264i_GWMVmlv-lXpTeF0Aq87PGXaX3Gko556UvQBIT23bCMydqqb6Qa0IuMnvs8vOsC3uZgkFAqoA9hf-FpTn0IbeP7s5DB6r4oDydsWid7pNzzpFQ6qXuY__U2O-gXvYJVfwAFQcfYTRE/s4000/20230915_191936~2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1966" data-original-width="4000" height="157" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijriD3NKdDbROwKPe79Qe0rxb_WnoMfunyoQcVe-1vn5N-8264i_GWMVmlv-lXpTeF0Aq87PGXaX3Gko556UvQBIT23bCMydqqb6Qa0IuMnvs8vOsC3uZgkFAqoA9hf-FpTn0IbeP7s5DB6r4oDydsWid7pNzzpFQ6qXuY__U2O-gXvYJVfwAFQcfYTRE/s320/20230915_191936~2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>Transition to bio-friendlier options - tags, tapes, packaging, cutlery </i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><p style="text-align: justify;">But have we done enough? The answer lies on the light bathed shelves of grocery stores in malls. Chocolates, chips, snack bars, noodles, lentils, health food, cheese, biscuits, delicatessen, and a gamut of food items are wrapped in soft plastics that are largely ignored and make their way to landfill. The menace doesn't end there as they leak into the fabric of our environment in many different ways. Only a negligible percentage of this gets recycled to produce benches, road surfaces, and the likes. An array of <i>"R"s</i> - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Refurbish, Remanufacture, Redesign, Rethink, Repair, Retrofit - do little to beat this scourge. Ever since REDcycle paused recycling soft plastics, the retail giants have consigned their soft plastic collection bins. The consequences are here for you to see - this has been produced since REDcycle withdrew a year back, from a household size of three (my family), extremely sensitive to this topic and abides by waste separation stringently. Think of the volume produced by the vast majority who doesn't even blink at scrunching up a packet and thrusting it into a bin. This area is quite grey and ideas to deal with the pernicious impacts often feels like flogging a dead horse.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsZCG4-Gr3sdk9zfNGuQPOKwMA-r-KsCFKERRghanVBFXiSU6SFchJf9U7npW9J44ywNDBvozG4FRxC9hNZSbIWYMOwxuhBTQl9OmYrB8YjEtQI9NZNFMEYhI5DddiAz4oti5Bvpdzxf0aImnBc5vl73tEeFoDXNkB7RoI8y_jNWmSfJkTkLmB21R9qoA/s3219/20230915_112937~2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3219" data-original-width="2252" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsZCG4-Gr3sdk9zfNGuQPOKwMA-r-KsCFKERRghanVBFXiSU6SFchJf9U7npW9J44ywNDBvozG4FRxC9hNZSbIWYMOwxuhBTQl9OmYrB8YjEtQI9NZNFMEYhI5DddiAz4oti5Bvpdzxf0aImnBc5vl73tEeFoDXNkB7RoI8y_jNWmSfJkTkLmB21R9qoA/s320/20230915_112937~2.jpg" width="224" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>One of 15 such packets from my household awaiting recycling since <a href="https://amp.abc.net.au/article/103135156" target="_blank">REDcycle withdrew</a></i> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: justify;">But it's not all bad news! The hard plastics do get recycled - at least 60% of them. But "<i>Reducing"</i> looks more meaningful than its other <i>counter-"R"s</i> (read counterparts/ "R" counterparts). Hence, I'm looking forward to oscillating back to my childhood days bereft of mall-culture. Well, we can't get rid of malls, but those plastic free methods of shopping can be incorporated in these huge store floors. There are self-serve machines to cater to a range of dog-food, candies, and scones in some of the retail giants. If these could be extended to rice, lentils, flours, milk, and other select products, it'd go a long way in reducing this excrescence. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO6V4S3BanaU4fr1qZUz0XvNtv_Z6SYsOUqgwjQURZTvwBV-InQViM708mQVPA8fqVECwKP4xWW_OykoX9CQS2zvkyJcULJGG3Jyn-qi3Re-exebOCXJ-Wkn634D_2DUfSsV-QpM187mlNW_Y45tN53Ny4CTLYQMZpvR9h92kHxRVrD0O0ORSZmQBHvcg/s4000/20230915_184641.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2252" data-original-width="4000" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO6V4S3BanaU4fr1qZUz0XvNtv_Z6SYsOUqgwjQURZTvwBV-InQViM708mQVPA8fqVECwKP4xWW_OykoX9CQS2zvkyJcULJGG3Jyn-qi3Re-exebOCXJ-Wkn634D_2DUfSsV-QpM187mlNW_Y45tN53Ny4CTLYQMZpvR9h92kHxRVrD0O0ORSZmQBHvcg/s320/20230915_184641.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>It'll go a long way if such self service machines are extended to other products - clicked at local store</i></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Of all the environment related issues, risks, and incidents - Westpac parlance that we all get - the easiest way to play a meaningful role in caring for our world is by tackling this niggling nuisance. Don't stay unruffled when you pick up that chips packet; ask, "R U OK, World?" You might end up saving a packet to landfill, and stave off saturated fat getting injected into your system as an additional perk. This movement might someday prompt the industries to harness the impermeability of plastic judiciously while replacing its endurance with paper and cardboard - who requires endurance of 500 years? They may roll out prudent packaging of paper lined with only a thin film of plastic! Self-service machines might take over sooner. The sleeves for labelling trays of fish and meat might see more of paper. Revolutionary BYOB - <i>Bring Your Own Bag/ Box</i> - may take us by storm. And why not? <i>Reuse</i> is arguably the next best to <i>Reduce</i>; for if we rely heavily on bamboo and paper for daily essentials, they'll soon be a thing of past. Soil getting impoverished, plants heading for stunted growth, daughts and flood causing mayhem on farms are frequently making headlines!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">When world changes, remember the wise adage that comes along with it "adjustment is the best intelligence" - we definitely need to change our ways to cope up. I can't be more thankful to Westpac for having world class mechanisms in its premises; these cater to waste separation, minimisation, and consequently reduction through reuse. I, being a strong advocate of waste segregation, thoroughly acknowledge this. It can instill in us the cause and prompt us to drive it home (literally). Afterall, our world deserves to be OK to keep us OK!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPxkQLxjloLzqQ2c1KHTkKbVcKg78CiunudswVEX_nLHYEuotGaFdrzYVRDag2kIEmaV4Ou-Kdzrh0ZVm7jPXAce8C6TJYzJpWKF_IF8zhDRYnZUu7XDAiEkaOmxJGsKtf-xIbvfNY5Hb-bFmH1vP29lZl6PMjzNoTd-p1jcEvt19czkH5kI3zmyAW-cc/s3874/20230918_134246~2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

Queried a curious onlooker in his early twenties just as my mum was stepping out of a crowd of hopeful guardians that had flocked to check the recently published ranks of their children in the all-decisive nightmarish Joint Entrace Examination, aka, JEE. Universities at Jadavpur and Shibpur were holy grail for many for their locational advantage and quite a few were ready to trade their preferred department of study in a different town for Architecture at these colleges. My mum consented and the onlooker assisted her to procure a form for a qualifying test that would be conducted a couple of weeks down the line. But Architecture domain was largely alien to her and she didn't hesitate to ask what the test was about, how to prepare for it, and who could guide. The unfamiliar onlooker, now her guiding angel, apparently had answer to all her questions. 'Hi I'm Kaustav (name changed), a second-year student here. We've done this last year. Trust me, a few of my classmates have arranged coaching sessions for aspiring joiners. We can't guarantee admission, but we can vouch to offer the best training!' My mum hardly had any choice and I was glad she quickly decided to enrol me to those informal classes at Kaustav's home. This anecdote was pretty much the same for all of us who identify ourselves as BEC Archi!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: 15px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Not just an additional test, Archi course was special in a couple of other ways. Course duration was five years, a year more than rest of the cohort; it included 6-month internship unlike a month long in other departments; three major educational tours were part of our curriculum; conventions like NASA/ ZONASA brought together budding architects from across India to our campus and the fervour of those events were no less than the college event REBECCA; last but not the least - we had open airy studios with large drawing tables, quite unlike typical classrooms. But to start with, the paraphernalia we required to commence the course certainly set us apart. Equipped with T-square, large set squares, drawing boards, special rotring pens, and other Archi stationery, we walked through the remarkable Centenary Gate into the campus. </div></span>

Our campus was </span></span><span style="font-size: 15px;">garbed in green with its heart ticking in the Clock Tower. </span><span style="font-size: 15px;">Precincts like Lords and Oval, the quaint low-rise buildings, Colonial style architecture, shimmering Bidisha, convenient residential facility beckoned us to join this institute. So there we were, with the vim of youth to explore and experience a new phase of life. </span><span style="font-size: 15px;">The little xerox corner we frequented for all the right and wrong reasons, the famous Bokultola, the I Hall, our college canteen, the stationery store, Netaji's statue, green lawns abutting winding spinal avenues, and the college building with roomy studios are as inseparable from memories as the eateries that lined the road outside the gate. Don't we still salivate at the thought of Basanta Cabin's chowmein, Panditji's daal kochuri with tea, sweet shop's <i>fulkopir singarha</i>, hostel canteen's bread toast omelette? And what can draw any parallel to a bit of revelling after a night show at Lipi?</span></div><span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: 15px;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span>Above all these, however, were our hostels, aka Halls that we associated much with. Our first few days of September 1994 went into buying and organising things we needed to set up a comfortable living there. </span><span>Our bare iron beds soon got padded up with locally bought mattresses - complete with pillows and indispensable mosquito nets; bare white walls got plastered with flashy posters of our heartthrobs - mostly celebs of silver screen; iron cupboards got filled with everyday essentials. </span><span>During the day, between the classes</span><span> we were curiously and quietly judging each other, sifting personalities, and calculating who to befriend or who to steer clear of.

It started every year like the opening anecdote much before we were assured a seat in our classroom and studio floors. That helped us, to some extent, in coping up with stanger-anxiety in a new world, and later the </span><i style="font-size: 15px;">ghorha-jockey</i><span style="font-size: 15px;"> </span><span style="font-size: 15px;">bond opened the doors of many possibilities. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">Those precious formative years were a rich swirl of fun, action, and creation - sprinkled with unadulterated joy of having fuchka with a friend after dinner and scampering back to hostel moments before the grilled doors clattered to close for the day; splashed with high-octane razzmatazz of annual events; peppered with apprehensions of end-sem assessments; spiced up with fragile calf love; dotted with tours; laced up with design submissions and diorama presentations. </span><span style="font-size: 15px;">In retrospection, we fondly appreciate how we managed without Microsoft Office to present our transparent slides on projector, procured information by ferreting around the silent shelves of cavernous library, light traced by precariously balancing a glass sheet on columns of stacked book with a table lamp underneath. Without YouTube at disposal, pronouncing then-unheard-of words like "Massachussetts" was fiendish without the help of none other than the omniscient professors. </span></div><div><span><!--/data/user/0/com.samsung.android.app.notes/files/clipdata/clipdata_bodytext_230913_223613_196.sdocx--></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><span>The </span><span>educational tours in three consecutive years </span><span>fortified our bonds further.

The second trip, anchored by our year, brought to us a completely different fabric of forts and deserts of Western India; the chill of December did little to dampen our verve of exploring the goosebump inducing historic sites. A final trip to the heart of India left us awestruck at the painstaking details with which the temples were carved at Khajuraho, caves were painted and sculpted at Ajanta, and stupas were built at Sanchi. Dhuandhar Falls, and a boat cruise though the meandering sacred Narmada wounding and carving her way through marble rocks indelibly etched in our young minds the awe-inspiring natural scape of Jabalpur. </span><!--/data/user/0/com.samsung.android.app.notes/files/clipdata/clipdata_bodytext_230913_223936_762.sdocx--></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><span><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><span>All these years thus sculpted out the people we were when we stepped out of the yellow-red Centenary Gate for good on a scorching day in May of 1999.

But as my son stepped up to climb the higher rungs of his school-years ladder, his increasing reliability on devices was constantly defying my own beliefs on that outweighing part. My concern was not just around health impact, but also about how he would cope without leaning on that digital stick. Well, I tried to keep my worries at bay as I had no control over this inexorable digital progression. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">But then some extraordinary situations do present opportunities to appreciate this ubiquitous network of web and devices. Of course such scenarios have to do with my uber-forgetful son! I can count the number of days when he hasn't misplaced or forgotten something or the other. Like Luna Lovegood, most of the stuff magically comes back to him, with an exception of few like NESA approved calculator, Logitech MX Master mouse, pencil case full of necessary stationery. While this hurts, nothing has been close to the shocking one we have gone through this week. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">A day before his Year 11 annual Biology exam, he returned from school quite tuckered out and hit the sack soon after devouring a glass of freshly made banana shake. Sated with his power nap, he woke up and groped his bag to pull out his laptop, eyes still groggy from the satisfying kip. 'Wait, what!' He was suddenly wide awake, 'Ma, did I take my laptop to school today?'</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I stood in stupor and managed to utter with unprecedented hopelessness, 'You lost your laptop? How can you live with so little awareness?' and added with rapier-sharp ruthlessness, 'you deserve to suffer. Tomorrow's your exam and you have nothing to prepare from. Don't be comforted with a cushy thought that I'm going to buy you a new one - you do your HSC year without a laptop.' I'm sure my facial muscles shifted contours swiftly to display a gamut of emotions that no words can do justice to describe; I lovingly call it countenance-quake.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">'Ma, you're not helping. Could you just stop and let me try to remember where I could've possibly left it,' his voice was replete with disgust that further incensed me. I didn't stop but he explained, 'Look, you don't understand; if I misplaced it at school I have a better chance of getting it back. But if I lost it at sports centre, it's as good as gone.'</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I kept muttering undesirable string of adjectives while he started pulling his strings on Discord and soon found out that his friend, who was reviewing his English essay from his laptop in the library, left it in there thinking my son would return before packing up for sports. But he didn’t; without an iota of <i>am-I-forgetting-something</i> uneasiness, he had headed for his grade-sports squash competition in a sports centre about 1.5 Km away.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">'Phew! I'm sure I'll find it, Ma, don't worry,' all the anxiety surprisingly drained from his face as suddenly as it had surged.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">'I can't understand what's helping you relax. You have this test tomorrow and no means to revisit the contents,' I reprimanded in a falsetto.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">'About that, right! Don't worry, will figure something out.' </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Tears of fury blurred my vision for a while - not because of the lost laptop, but for the chilled attitude following this most unacceptable occurrence of forgetfulness. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Moments later his dad rang the bell, he was back from office. I took no time to chronicle the events in a querulous manner, knowing fully well how upset he'd become. But to my astonishment he didn't quite jump to any opinion or action. His first suggestion was to write to school and bingo, the mailbox already had an unread email sitting there from the librarian stating the laptop was with her for my son to collect from. He thanked her on email while we thanked our stars quite vocally. Yet, there was this question, hugely unanswered - where to get the resources for revision. And the answer was way more simpler than I could've ever thought - cloud! Being a devout follower of unassailable and infallible mainframes, my faith on cloud was quite flimsy. But that night, when my son logged into Teams with his school credentials through our personal laptop to revise what he needed, I finally owned up and accepted how versatile and convenient this technology is. If I had fully appreciated this before, my IELTS writing score would've certainly been a notch higher. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Interested in happened next? Read on!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">All said and done, my son sat the test missing nothing from preparation point of view. In a daze of post-exam introspection with his friends he returned home. This time dad opened the door as our office days are staggered, 'Did you collect your laptop from Ms Cheung (name changed)?'</p><p style="text-align: justify;">'Oh sh**! He dropped the bag at doorstep and ran for the next bus back to school.' Some habits are simply incorrigible. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Dona, Sydney, 8th Sep 2022</span></p>Donahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02699399963166504239noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2292475162803939039.post-6723972047061959692023-08-26T07:01:00.007-07:002023-08-26T21:39:11.483-07:00College Days - Moored to BEC<p>BEC - A life cycle commences</p><p><b>Introduction</b>:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The holy Ganges ponderously lumbers through the Hoogly district into Howrah - much wider and calmer here than her youthful self frolicking and capering over rocks and twigs in the Himalayas. She courses past factories, towns, and dwellings, ducks below bridges, and awashes gently the banks behind a sprawling lush Botanical Garden. From here she moves on, but I pull to a halt. This is a distinguished garden with a noteworthy 1000-year old banyan tree, considered divine in Hindu culture, that draws tourists from across the lands. And guess what shares the boundary with this renowned green patch? More than a hundred year old and extremely prestigious IIEST, reputed as BE College, Shibpur, among us - the cohort that stepped through its yellow-red Centenary Gate (more commonly known as First Gate) into its quite, mesmerising, and tree-enfolded campus amidst the hubbub of city-life on the crisp morning of 5th September 1994. That marked the beginning of a phenomenal 5-year journey that'd be a priceless, timeless; but we hardly contemplated that during those days. Given our tender age, who among us would've thought we, and in future our spouses and children, our juniors and seniors would all be strung to the same string forever - the BEC string!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXXPkF5TCnjqcd-QCwk4evETSm76NTZj8hXij9vfxM3Djf-L1xR-HeCZCkXl5TJNIK4XP-EyxaOIWQGZCMyrdji28wKPE7GjgUHkqiL4JyyiExZzL7H1LjXW054m12rMOo7dax7X_uzaKT4lKCkFsNr8MdfAS2kgpCq5TQwl0Vlm0cX1lEQi75WioDGkc/s1080/Screenshot_20230826_235732_Chrome~3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="585" data-original-width="1080" height="173" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXXPkF5TCnjqcd-QCwk4evETSm76NTZj8hXij9vfxM3Djf-L1xR-HeCZCkXl5TJNIK4XP-EyxaOIWQGZCMyrdji28wKPE7GjgUHkqiL4JyyiExZzL7H1LjXW054m12rMOo7dax7X_uzaKT4lKCkFsNr8MdfAS2kgpCq5TQwl0Vlm0cX1lEQi75WioDGkc/s320/Screenshot_20230826_235732_Chrome~3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><i><div style="text-align: center;"><i>First Gate</i></div></i><p style="text-align: justify;">During the initial days we were curiously and quietly judging each other, sifting personalities - some of us were thin and docile while others were sporty or podgy, bright and flashy or simply nonchalant. Too young to rise above these trivial differences, we were already calculating who to befriend and who to steer clear of; little aware that these calculations were meaningless for our perspective and who we'd like down the lane would change drastically. The only thing that bound us together was the eagerness to know each other - a bunch of fledglings, of almost equal aptitude, who've found the freedom in their wings to scale the sky.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Yes, equal aptitude (not gloating), for there wasn't any easy pass through that gate; the pass was hard-earned through notoriously tough tests that we all had cracked to be deemed to join that college in that particular discipline of that year - nothing more, nothing less. We were there to make the most of it, or so! It was a crucial juncture of our lives - learning the boons and banes of living independently, learning to add new strings to our bows, learning life! Thus we plodded along together, hopping from design studios to Materials & Details of Construction classes, prancing from Masonry to TCMN classes, padding past library and workshops, breaking our heads over Applied Mechanics and Thermodynamics, helping each other with complex plans, elevations, sections of buildings on contours, cheering each other to trudge on with assignments throughout nights before the dreaded "submissions". And alongside this chock-a-block schedule unfurled our potentials, personalities, and predilections - our camaraderie with our classmates developed and evolved; student-professor relationships were forged; knowledge took shape and culminated in mind-blowing capstone projects during the final semesters. These sculpted out the people we were when we stepped out of the yellow-red Centenary Gate for good on a scorching day in May of 1999, five years after our first day. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">We walked out leaving within the confines of our beloved campus all the good moments and not-so-good ones, funny events and the sad ones, the wrongs and the rights, our aspirations and inspirations, memories of our unrequited or reciprocated love and friendship - leaving them forever or that's what we thought as the third industrial revolution hadn't set in and it wouldn't take the world in the next fifteen long years or so. Who could've thought then that we'd reconvene, reunite, reignite our memories and friendship, albeit off the campus and on the screen of handheld devices, but no less intense than before. So here we are, the Architecture 1999 cohort, harking back to the nostalgia inducing days of togetherness during the precious years of our lives at BEC - the days of chrysalis forcing its way from pupa to metamorphose into a fiesty young colourful butterfly!</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Chapter 1</b>: Our BEC days (we metamorphosed from chrysalis to butterfly; I'll start with mine and pass on the baton to the rest)</p><p style="text-align: justify;">An alma matar holds a special place in the heart of each alumnus or alumna. It could've been precincts like Lords and Oval for some, the quaint workshops and Colonial style architecture for others, but for me, the premises of the institute bore a striking similarity to the township I was brought up in. That, compounded with the facility of hostel, left no place for dilemma in opting for BEC. The old clock tower, overlooking a shimmering mesmerising Bidisha, green with the reflection of surrounding trees, beckoned me to be one of the several thousand students it witnessed graduating. So there I was, with the vim of youth to explore and experience a new phase of life.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">And who do you look for to rely on in a new place away from home? Friends of course! To start with, it was a bit of luck. I was destined to share a room with another two of my classmates - naive sporty perfectionist Soma, and intelligent hardly-audible diminutive Anindita. Our bare iron beds soon got padded up with locally bought mattresses and pillows, complete with mosquito nets, bed covers, and all other necessities of daily life. Even before we stepped into our classes, our hostel rooms had to be arranged. Thus we hurriedly bunched up as brand new friends, set up our room, and set out to find the rest of us - remaining four girls of our batch, namely, Indira (Indu), Dipanjana (Dips), Sumana, and Anamika. Over the years of college and beyond, we'd grow close, drift apart, and re-connect, with the exception of Sumana who early in her life escaped the weals and woes of life - beyond any mortal reach.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Those precious five years were perhaps the most exciting time of my life. The formative years were a rich swirl of fun, action, and creation - sprinkled with unadulterated joy of having fuchka with a friend after dinner and scampering back to hostel moments before the grilled doors clattered to close for the day; splashed with high-octane razzmatazz of NASA/ZONASA and annual programmes; peppered with apprehensions of end-sem assessments; spiced up with fragile calf love that hardly crossed the subliminal limits, let alone be expressed; dotted with study tours that unfolded the distinctive architectural styles of different regions of India; laced up with design submissions and diorama presentations. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">I fondly look back at the way we managed without Microsoft Office to present our transparent slides on projector; the way we managed without Google to find information from books and painstakingly light trace for compilation; the way we managed without YouTube to pronounce unheard-of-before "Massachussetts" with the help of none other than the apparently omniscient professors. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">The little xerox corner we frequented for all the right and wrong reasons, the (in)famous Bokultola, our college canteen, the stationery store, Netaji's statue, green lawns abutting winding roads, spinal avenues, and the college building with roomy studios are as inseparable memories as the eateries that lined the road outside the gate. I still salivate at the thought of Basanta Cabin's chowmein, Panditji's daal kochuri, sweet shop's fulkopir singarha, and toast with tea. However, it was Pandya Hall that tops my list - the only girls' hostel where I resided during those days. Within the hostel, as we moved from Graveyard wing to Heaton, and eventually to the Roadside, our bond fragmented with some and strengthened elsewhere, our priorities got defined and redefined, and our paths wove in and out with others; but years later, off the campus, we stood again as one!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">And not just our batchmates; given the nature of our studios and the subject, we bonded with our immediate seniors and juniors with equal ease. It started even before we were assured a seat in our classroom; the seniors guided us through the concepts of 2D/ 3D compositions, basics of perspective views and equipped us with other necessary knowledge to ace the exam for Architecture, a second hurdle after clearing the WBJEE test. Their verve in imparting their skills in us instilled a special bond much before we shared the studio floors. That helped us to some extent in coping up with stanger-anxiety in a new world. And a year later, we too stepped into the shoes of instructors to train a new batch of aspiring architects in a similar manner - kudos to us, the exam was a cinch for them!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I laugh at how capricious I was back then - running into paroxysm of laughter or tears at the drop of a hat. In one instance the entire floor stirred and the professor was driven to stupor as I ran out of the classroom crying and yelling, upset at a spontaneous comment of a classmate on my design! It's embarrassing to even think of such inane moments now. Nothing mattered in the end, though; it's just a fond memory. A memory like just another where I was hoodwinked to share my ID card and then I was on a faux news of marriage with a classmate called Saurav. It was cooked up for sheer fun to imitate the fabled marriage of the eminent cricketer Saurav Ganguly and Dona Roy. We all had a good laugh! 😃 </p><p style="text-align: justify;">I can go on and on because innumerable incidents are etched on my mind as if I were there yesterday. But I'd wrap up with this last note that I had no idea I'd find my life partner there when my name showed up on the list of pupils allowed to walk through the yellow-red gate. Like me, many of us found among us their business partners, life partners or fellow researchers in post-BEC life, but that's a different stage - the stage of a matured butterfly 🦋 that I'll touch upon little later. For we need to check out on the adventures of other contemporaneous chrysalises/ chrysalides that were on similar journeys!</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Chapter 2</b>: Our matured lives beyond BEC (fully grown butterfly)</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Like a fluttering butterfly, beyond the BEC gates, I moved from flower to flower in search of life-sustaining nectar. Post-graduation from equally notable national institute paved my way to the alluring world of information technology. Despite its grandiose charm, and an apparent-repute as yardstick of job-stability, I didn't mind adding new programming skills from the confines of hoity-toity glitzy edifices. It wasn't always a walk in the park though. I found myself at the vortex of maelstrom, balancing the needs of family and work. Often I moved in and out of country, which had me walk the plank but I managed to swim from one role to another, albeit with gaps in career path. But over the years I've learned that everything is ephemeral, not always tenable, and the moments must be appreciated as they come. The me-butterfly's wings are withering fast; time to pass on the responsibilities to the progeny - the next gen of millennials. Oh yes, we all have witnessed the end of millennium and in the new one we brought new lives - little larvae that hatched from eggs we laid. We'll have a sneak peek into their lives - drastically different from ours with smart devices and the internet at their disposal - a generation at the juncture of third and fourth industrial revolutions!</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Chapter 3</b>: Our Children (larvae hatched from the butterfly's eggs)</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In my childhood, not having access to telephones or televisions didn't mean the-end-of-the-world; but times changed. Personal computers were a household thing by the time I joined my job. Those dinosaurs shrunk to palm-held mobile devices by the time I had my first (and only) child. These newfangled devices transformed to versatile smartphones my the time my son stepped into his first school. Little wonder he was no stranger to these captivating devices. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">'It's recommended you limit his screen-time to two hours a day only,' the pediatrician prescribed after a regular check up when he was in his terrible two's.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Screen-time! So that's what it is. But as the years rolled, there was only one limit - more sleep-time to reduce screen-time on newfangled gadgets. With all his assessments, assignments, researches overly dependent on the internet, he is now incarcerated in the labyrinthine web. I can't complain or isolate him since he is in a world that is increasingly adopting new technologies to achieve the unprecedented! His time will probably harness LIDAR that's set to take transportation to an astounding level of autonomous cars, witness humanoid robots taking over mundane menial jobs, AI superseding the hands-on expertise of surgeons; yet his path will still be fraught with the usual thrust and parries of struggles, the peaks and troughs of emotions, the weals and woes of life! I conclude wishing him and our children the very best; May their dreams substantiate, May their lives be healthy, may they appreciate the beauty of this world and the people around them!</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Conclusion</b>:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Leveraging technology we've reconnected. An enthusiastic chum corralled us and tethered us to our group on a platform in social media. We are thankful to him for bringing us together. How wonderful it is at times to cogitate on the minute details of our past, including our roll numbers, the buildings we researched or the work of architects we presented. Then again we have each other in our current-day endeavours to complete the circle of life. And I'm sure we'll have each other as we brace up for our forthcoming adventures!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">When I passed on the baton, others picked it up to express their emotions, albeit in their own unique ways. Anirban Ghosh, perhaps the quietest of our lot, came up with paintings that when seen collaboratively appears to be college tour. Sumit shared one of his expressions through his depiction of the iconic Clock Tower! Here they are.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhII1uQjWxP3t5kcJpJFiFZN8m1CXZcqn0lmX0dpalF1Ddwkt0SnLQxdrSIOgMG--1dL5nMtz2MdcDf5xPTc1VrFTLBecN2A3iDdyUbxY-cmwF1tI8FXAmfLQ65x4ORU3A8FL1079m2A93gCkZpo1lT8yPaZ9IqAEsaeJQmyfr7KztqGHHl1j1PIVeqxGs/s1553/Screenshot_20230826_233634_WhatsApp~2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

On that day, however, I gave the green and gold a cursory glance from my office floor, wondered what was coming up when the men were half way through from the bottom, and gleaned from the lunch-table murmurs that Women's World Cup has commenced which is why the building was getting decked up.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsowNQtUj061AmcLU3uJNB1ndIScthy9Syd-Hn2otR9OMG1WbUrSs-pituJ5f43fMTP6fkMiocSlJ51oA6dLy8g8IhBfdcZAwiICxkRDIP8EWX2uK0AAy5_NAA3EPcq-o57jVFVvTw2h9ogaoVpP9qYIXkwrzyBd9t9xqXc-byb_zkMcpfVHNqdMliSio/s1583/IMG_2816.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1583" data-original-width="1258" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsowNQtUj061AmcLU3uJNB1ndIScthy9Syd-Hn2otR9OMG1WbUrSs-pituJ5f43fMTP6fkMiocSlJ51oA6dLy8g8IhBfdcZAwiICxkRDIP8EWX2uK0AAy5_NAA3EPcq-o57jVFVvTw2h9ogaoVpP9qYIXkwrzyBd9t9xqXc-byb_zkMcpfVHNqdMliSio/s320/IMG_2816.jpeg" width="254" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><i>PC: Oindriclicks</i></span></div><p style="text-align: justify;">I'm as much interested in sports as a lion is in broccoli. Yet my sports enthusiast spouse wouldn't let me miss any epoch-making moment - witnessing Ash Barty's monumental achievement in winning Australian Open, <a href="https://vocabuleria.blogspot.com/2022/01/the-legend.html?m=1" target="_blank">Nadal's victory</a> over Medvedev to outstrip Federer in bagging the most number of Grand Slams, Stuart Broad's bowling in Ashes Test Series after which he declared retirement are only to name a few. Naturally, when he urges me to watch, I oblige. And fortunately so; otherwise, I'd have missed the dramatic moments that unfolded before millions of spectators to hurl Australian Women's National Football Team, Matildas, to semis for the first time in 150 years on 12th August.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">By 7th August the icons of Australia - sails of Opera House and Parliament House - were a riot of green and gold. To match up with the rest of the city in cheering and supporting Tillis, students were requested to don green and gold ensemble at school ahead of the match against Denmark. My son grudgingly paired up a bright yellow t-shirt with green shorts to his all-boys school, clearly disinterested in supporting girls - understandably so at his age and maturity; not every child is Raducanu, Mary Fowler, or Alcaraz. But by then the fever has silently crept into every soul. And all that celebration did culminate into a smashing victory over Denmark in the Round of 16. "Woh!", was all my 16-year old uttered, clearly blown away at the amazing feat the girls pulled up. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXQAclk64io5vZh4O-yINSJW5PlQLQQlxpoz8e3stzEVJZ0g-kiZWVG4Fbwg6Vx6CSzjPnV-6UL4alDeFfFgYoPR8avAmtgZUThEthiaj4ZURj5HFm0aC1G8V_wztpXoWD4vvIWRBVks1Gt9l82si25gGRBHvtH6calRbANACsO4RirQcXZx7s3QzcrBQ/s2048/IMG_2791.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em;

In the Quarter Finals against France at Brisbane Stadium they held their ground strong. Two arduous hours through the match, it was a tie - an undecisive outcome,</span><span style="text-align: left;"> neither team yielding to the other at 0-0. Both sides continued to play with pertinacity during the penalty shootout that turned out to be the longest in world history - yet the girls with nerves of steel did not buckle under the immense pressure that cumulatively built up with each player's turn totalling to 20 spot kicks. Both the teams fought tooth and nail as each of us held our breath only to heave a sigh at a "save" or a reciprocating "score" - team did not matter. My spouse kept uttering "sudden-death" and I grimaced at those ominous words, little knowing it was sports-parlance when the teams were tied after 5 chances of penalty shot each. But we both agreed either team deserved equal applause; it wasn't fair to lose the coveted spot at semis this way after such long haul! Yet, one had to be chosen. Finally, the Matildas rounded off the nail-biting crescendo with the much-awaited score by Cortnee Vine. It looked like Australia was destined to win - that incredible goal following the miss by Vicki Bècho felt surreal - France reeling into despair and Australia animated in celebration of their historic win right after. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;">For people like us, those last few minutes were all that mattered. When Vicki hit the left post, Aus goalie, Mackenzie Arnold, clearly lunged to the right obliterating any opportunity to "save". If that ball didn't ricochet at the post and hit the net instead or if the following one by Cortnee did not streak to the net squarely, then the circumstances would've been different. As I watched in thrill, it felt like someone from above was dictating the players like marionettes, enjoying the building up of crowd's consternation with ruthless delight like President Snow in Hunger Games, and finally smiled upon the Tillis. </span>Whether someone was really writing the fate or not, the reverie was smashed by the outburst of onlookers, players, coach Tony Gustavsson, and all associated with the game. Sam Kerr and team nailed it! </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Next day at office, as I stood by the lunch table with a cup of warm water, my eyes softened with deferential sweetness as I laid my eyes upon Mary Fowler on Aon's glass facade - now quite familiar than at the first sight. Even her black gloves from Big W are now talk of the paparazzi. Impossible <i>is</i> nothing. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">To wrap up, here's best wishes to the Matildas against Lionesses of England in the upcoming semi-final tomorrow at 8 pm, Sydney Olympic Park. Stay true to your name, <i>mighty in battles</i>, while rest of the country brace up for the tough one with emotional bond and on-field feud both running strong!</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">PC: Oindrilaclicks and Fb page of Matildas</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Write-up trigger</span>: larger than life size Mary Fowler cladded in unmissable green-gold clamoring for attention on the glass wall of Aon, Barangaroo.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Dona, Sydney,</span> <span style="color: #2b00fe;">15th August, 2023</span></p>Donahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02699399963166504239noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2292475162803939039.post-88082451226672969672023-07-09T03:25:00.009-07:002023-10-27T16:02:29.021-07:00Macaw at Mrs Macquarie's Chair <p style="text-align: justify;">Scars from a recent fall concealed under the sleeves, and vestigial pain buried beneath a smile, I ventured out for Mrs Macquarie's Chair with my spouse and son. The long tedious walk from Circular Quay, was suddenly rendered colourful by a friendly, vibrant, and extremely unusual pet of an elderly co-walker. Bereft of stranger-anxiety, the exotic beauty, a macaw, hopped onto our arms, and shoulders at ease to pose for some perfect clicks. Slaked, we padded along the walkway though Royal Botanic Garden towards our destination. This spot offers a clear panoramic view of the majestic sails and the Harbour Bridge together. It's arguably the best precinct to experience New Year's fireworks. But an afternoon right in the middle of the year has no such events to offer; so, we waited close to an hour in the wintry chill for the setting sun to put up a spellbinding show! Needless to mention, we were generously rewarded. Regaled, we returned home with a trove of memories to cherish. Here are a few from today's album.</p><p style="text-align: center;">The trail:<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1ocUGVlWGTQmWOHvNX7K4BVmvk-pjLrB8x1GbcZpTca3NCo0o2T3tIMidr4d3TtkGUNPumS8hI5DIu4DdNFzj7shQFHNUDDYcpPkuWuzFYJsDVADZu9haTckXLSZKgiCF_NFtyZ1SMuyGdlP_AQtodgHpUeZ--nfB7rSh1qz-ZICgZCZURQEBmCytGjE/s1338/Screenshot_20230709_181335_Maps~3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

text-align: left;">A sunlight sprinkled crisp wintry morning warmly welcomed our 21st anniversary. With the buoyancy of children in playground, we headed for the nearby park for customary anniversary clicks in new clothes. This was supposed to be followed by a sumptuous lunch, a visit to the lovely Lavender Bay, and a quiet family dinner. But the crescendo ended in a decent-scaled disaster even before the plan could spread the wings for a flight.</span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">It happened at the wink of an eye. Three of us, twining in wine-wheat attires, were heading sprightly towards the station and chatting about another round of photo-shoot. But before capturing the mood, events unfolded quickly, bringing us to a halt unceremoniously. We were crossing the road by the station when my son's foot abruptly got in my way; I tripped, fell hard on the road, and skid on the asphalt. That inflicted several injuries and deep weals to elbows, knees, right hand, wrist, chin, and forehead. Yet, as I slipped into unconsciousness twice and resurfaced, I appreciated how fortunate I was to suffer smaller wounds. It could have been far more catastrophic. The way my lisle tights were torn and spects, phone, purse, coat, travel card were scattered all over the place, it was nothing short of miracle that most part of my face, arms, and legs were unscathed. Carrying a water bottle couldn't have been more helpful at times like these. My spouse and son splashed a copious amount of the water to bring me back to senses and walk me home.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Thus the special day didn't end up quite as planned. When I hit the sack at night, hot-patch tucked under my neck and painkillers working towards alleviating the sprains and wounds, I paused and thought - accidents such as these, unbeknownst to us, could happen anytime to anybody. As one anniversary rolls into another, so does our age. While it's best to commemorate these events, make them memorable, colourful, eventful, it also harks to us to pay more attention on our movements, be cautious of our steps to avoid such falls, keep a safe distance from our children - they could be quite awkward in their gait at their age when we hit 20th anniversary milestone. Like every boil, gash, paper-cut, knife-cut teaches us a lesson, this was my takeaway from this most recent one.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Two days down the line, I'm feeling much better. Brown scabs on skin have replaced the bloody open cuts, pains have subdued considerably, and I've visited the local clinic for a general check-up. Doctor has prescribed plenty of rest, certified the abrasions will heal in about two weeks, and confirmed no bone has broken. The welt on the chin is definitely keeping me away from "chinwagging" while in convalescence. But I'm enjoying quietly the attention of my son and spouse, appeciating the help extended by close relatives, and acknowledging the concerns of my friends - this definitely adds a new flavor to the mood board of anniversaries observed thus far!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The anniversary mood board in reverse chronology since inception:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Fair and flashing, Sanju rushed up to her grandma and started dragging her for home. She had by now accepted that this was the wont for her - since her mum and dad were at work, Sanju returned home with her grandma every evening.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Grandma lovingly brushed her curly hair, smoothened her red sweater on ash tunic, and calmed her down, 'Sanju, your omma's growing older by the day. Don't you think you ought to slow down?'</div><div style="text-align: justify;">'Oh omma, Titun, Papan, Mou, Bappa, Munia would be there already. I can't be late! They'll form a better team for kho-kho if I arrived late,' Sanju pressed on in dismay.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">'They sure would, but you aren't going anywhere without finishing your snacks. I'll have to tame and tie your wayward flyaways as well. And remember to be back early. You can't sleep off without wrapping up your homework,' omma commanded gently but firmly and Sanju had to oblige.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Sanju, though a precocious child, was still a child - she wanted to hang around with her pals till late evening and step in only before her mum arrived - the only person she thought was the hardest to appease and whose rules should be adhered to without questions. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Years flew. Sanju grew up, completed her studies, and joined the profession of her choice. Kids always cheered her up; what best could she be other than their mentor? The more hours she put in at school, the more she started to admire and understand from her mother's shoes. By then, more mums were at work and more grandparents showed up to bring children back home. Sanju reflected on her own school days and as she tried to trace her omma in each of them, her thin lips often curled up to a nostalgic smile.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Roles had reversed - she didn't need her omma's hand anymore to move around, but her omma did, well not quite literally. Omma wouldn't go for her evening chores until Sanju returned home, gave her the usual hug, and had her evening snacks. Then they'd go on for a little chit-chat. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">'Isn't it incredible, omma, how mum does it all?'</div><div style="text-align: justify;">'It is, Sanju, you too are walking the path she has paved for you. Be patient. Soon you'll have so much to do on your plate.'</div><div style="text-align: justify;">'Oh omma, you'll always be there to help, won't you? You can pick up your great grandchildren from school, can't you?'... and they'd both break into laughter!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">While her bond with omma was always most cherished, Sanju's camaraderie with her mum was evolving by the year. The strict-mum image during her school days was gradually fading to a friendlier one. Once omma took to bed, Sanju would wait for her mum eagerly. They'd talk, dine, and discuss each other's day. Sanju looked up to her mum's bespectacled calm looks - her own eyes soft in admiration and respect. She'd hug her, thank her, and put her to bed before retiring to her cosy corner. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As time would have it, Sanju got married, had an equally pretty, intelligent daughter, Tista, and a loving husband, Titun. Her omma was no more but she seemed to be there everywhere - in the blanket that Titas clung to, in the gold bangles she slid her hands into, and in the quietest corner of her heart. Meanwhile, her mum stepped up to the plate - who'd play better omma to Tista than her!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">But one day, Sanju stopped in her tracks when she heard her mum, 'Did you know, your omma made this omelette today, isn't it fluffy?'</div><div style="text-align: justify;">'Seriously? How can she, she's gone!'</div><div style="text-align: justify;">'Gone? Where?'</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Sanju rolled her eyes and ignored, but not for long. Her mum would call her and Tista in different names, names that belonged to her childhood friends or cousin sisters. Young Tista would stare back at her, confounded. With passing months, the symptoms categorically started indicating of severe dementia but Sanju refused to accept. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">'It can't be mum,' shocked, she repeated to herself, 'not her. How can she be? She's my super mum afterall.'</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Gradually the colour drained from her mum's deep, dark eyes. Sanju couldn't refute the inescapable anymore. It was time to take the tough decision she was painfully procrastinating.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">'It is disheartening to let go of Ms Sanju so she can care for her family, her mum,' announced the school Principal in one morning assembly. Sanju's vision was as blurry as others; they all bid her goodbye with eyes welled up in tears and hugs heavy with ache of separation. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Juggling between the roles of mum to Tista alongside that of daughter's to address mum's needs was daunting, insurmountable. But Sanju persevered with steadfastness. Once Tista aced her entrance examinations and joined a reputed local college, Sanju heaved a long sigh of relief. But that was ephemeral as her mum wasn't doing any better. She wouldn't cooperate with hired carers, wouldn't eat, wouldn't talk or walk or understand. Sanju took to full-time <i>mum-sitting</i> - fathomless patience being her only weapon against mum's muted agitation, distress, discomforts. A weak sliver of hope that mum might bounce back to normal kept her going, though, she was fully aware that only a divine intervention would reverse the process of this inexorable degeneration. She consigned those negative thoughts to deeper folds of her mind - unwilling to snuff out the little flame of hope that bolstered her spirit to look after her mum.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">At times mum's eyes went blank but at other times they were full of mirth - a line or two of her favourite songs would fill the otherwise silent air. If she remembered all the words she'd have talked her heart out in those moments. Sanju left no stones unturned to keep her clean, happy, decked up as best as she could. She treated her bed sores - the sores aggravated from long periods of supine posture; she tried water mattress to alleviate the pain; she supported her to sit longer, and cheer her up but with no tangible returns - mum had almost forgotten she was her precious daughter. Sanju's heart bled, but she wouldn't give up - her pertinacity was unwavering. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Tista, now an accomplished engineer, decided to further her studies overseas. She was as unstoppable as the bubbly brooks at their mouths in the mountain. As much as it pained to permit her, Sanju approved of her decision. What else could she do? Stop her from getting what others could only dream of? Tista took a bit of her heart away with her while mum resided in the remaining part. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Six strenuous years later, one evening, Sanju's mum sat by her bed table for a long time - she was pale but expressions were running like a fast-forawarded movie in her eyes. Was she groping for words to put forth her thoughts? </div><div style="text-align: justify;">'Mum, would you like to say something, anything,' Sanju asked ever so gently, her own eyes stinging with the tang of tears. Gathering up the vestigial strength, mum smiled - one last smile. Like an epic, a lifetime of stories, memories, work and knowledge culminated in the greatest of all truths - the unassailable and inevitable end.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It took months for Sanju to come to terms with the loss; perhaps the grieve will fade with time, but won't be gone altogether. Yet, there is always glimmer of light beside tough times - nothing is forever. Tista getting married to her childhood sweetheart was like a rainbow in her cloudy-sunny sky. It gave her a hope, happiness, and brought back to her cheerful memories - someday she might step into omma's shoes when time comes.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Dona, Sydney, June '23</span></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Donahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02699399963166504239noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2292475162803939039.post-49176171993030003952023-05-30T06:52:00.062-07:002023-06-20T17:48:16.490-07:00Leafing through a bunch of extraordinary memories <p style="text-align: justify;">It heartens us to reflect on the excellent time we had with parents after three long years, fraught with gloom of covid and loss of lives close to us. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Their three-month stay was short, but far from stagnated into quotidian routine. Each day was marked special by unveiling a place new to them and we all did our bit to make the most of it. Trip-planner (Som) chalked out and conducted tours immaculately, our son accommodated as much as he could with his chockabloc Year-11 schedule, and the coordinator (Dona) did what she does the best - stay cool and keep others sane during rush hours. Pushing aside their age-related ailments, parents matched up with our energy and strides to admire the idyllic places along the craggy, blue coastline, soak in the flavours of iconic precincts, and experience distinctive events with a zeal like there was no tomorrow. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">This is a lesson they have ingrained in us by now - be active. Just like an insatiable urge to assault peaks fuels a mountaineer's indefatigable endeavours, curiosity drives these two diminutive figures to attain new heights. They are nothing short of living legends who we ought to follow to keep ourselves going as we age.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The days were a blur with these outings that'll be etched in our memory forever. But the best part of all was rejuvenation of the sweetest bond that grandparents share with grandchild. Celebrating 16th birthday of our son with them was cherry on the pie!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">While every bit was precious, the most remarkable moment was commemorating one of the rarest milestones of life - 50th anniversary of parents. We thank each of you who deluged their day with the warmth of wishes around their health, happiness, and many more years of togetherness!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It's not a fluke that Vivid Sydney started just as they were wrapping up the last-minute shopping and packing; it was planned well ahead! Mustering all the courage to set out at sub-10 temperatures in the evenings to experience the vibes of this much-awaited annual event paid off. They were thrilled and amazed to watch the iconic sails of Opera House lit up with vibrant light shows, Darling Habour decked up with dazzling laser shows, the night skies above Circular Quay speckled with spectacular drone shows. An army of a thousand drones marched up to the sky to put up spellbinding display of forms. The sparkly pink, purple, blue illuminated drones seamlessly rearranged themselves within seconds to shift shapes as if they were dancing to Dumbledore's wave of Elder Wand! This earmarked our first ever experience of such aerial orchestration. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Jamai Shashthi, a day to pamper sons-in-law and a quintessential Bengali ritual, was tucked amid these unforgettable days. It's only the third time in 21 years that we observed it together - needless to mention how coveted this was!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Meeting up friends and family, trying new types of fish and food, encounter with endemic animals - kangaroos in the wild at the caravan park by Canjola Lake, lorikeets and noisy miners clinging on to ice-cream like banksias, sulphur-crested cockatoos and kookaburras waking them to a raucous dawn - were other mention-worthy highlights of their trip.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">As much as we wish, time wouldn't stop! So, here's wishing them a safe journey back, and we look forward to meeting them soon. Hope the cheerful time spent together attenuates the sting of moist eyes and choked voices on either side of the steadfast wall at security check and beyond. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Here are some glimpses of frames we shared in and around Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

It's a matter of zero-tolerance - she doesn't rest until any trespasser is extricated and chucked out.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span>Lithe and cunning, she soaks in all the flavours (tangy, sweet, salty, umami) that pass through her sumptuous cave she calls home; slaked, she assures the vestigial lump hurls in to a dark and acidic guttural</span><span> dungeon - no less than a purgatory. </span><span>Needless to mention, she turns a blind eye</span><span> to the exacting grinding that her seemingly indefatigable knights do to extract the flavours for her. Frustrated with her snobbish ways, they occasionally conspire to trample her, bleed her, avenge her, but she always manages to be saved by the bell - maybe by her power of intuition.</span></div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">This incessant bickering ticks on with time - soft and supple against the solid and usually obsequious. But years of arduous crushing impoverish her apparently invincible knights - they start abandoning her one by one. Lonely, powerless, and dejected, she seeks solace in occasional recee of the ground the guards once stood.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">But there's always light at the end of a tunnel. It's not long before she wakes up to a pleasant surprise - her guards are back - shinier, stronger, and healthier! She bounces back to her routine inspection with a new spring in her spirit.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">If you guessed who she is and who her sentinels are, you'd know who'd outlive whom this time!</div></span><br /><!--/data/user/0/com.samsung.android.app.notes/files/clipdata/clipdata_bodytext_230417_194312_091.sdocx-->Donahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02699399963166504239noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2292475162803939039.post-40179848677563295712023-02-19T04:19:00.027-08:002023-08-05T18:58:44.558-07:00Flickers from my past<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">It only needs two fingers to slide on a hand-held new fangled device to zoom in on every street, alley, and corner of a city. Atlas - maps on paper - are superannuated like many others - yellow pages, dictionaries, and to some extent books. </span><span style="font-size: 14px;">Yet, after all these years, a handful of such relics from my past have miraculously managed to find their way to my luggage and shelves despite multiple domestic and international moves. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">It's not often that I lay my eyes upon their withered covers inseparably clinging on to the book to keep its shine untarnished. But today it so happened that I bumped onto a pocket atlas while dusting the shelves (not a thing I do often, but the layer was too thick to pretend it's not there). My dad had gifted it to me when I was a blooming 12-year booming with curiosity. Dad believed it'd pique my interest and help me with map-pointing - an exercise to put dots on the right places within the outlines of country, continent, world. In those days, places were merely names with no pictures, no street views, no landmarks to assist visualisation. Nevertheless, with his neat handwriting he had labelled with care my name and class and it eventually took up a special corner of my little heart.</span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Keeping the duster aside, I rubbed that label lovingly and started leafing through the 10 cm by 18 cm book of 96 pages. For a moment I smiled to myself out of sheer nostalgia (conveniently forgetting all about the thick white layer sitting blithely around my books). None of the pages popped up the usual red drop of Google Maps to prompt my current location, so I hunted down the south eastern part of Australia 🇦🇺 to page 59. And there, in little and big, thin and thick fonts were now-familiar names scattered all over - Parramatta, Newcastle, P. Macquarie, C. Byron (eastern most point of Australia ), Jervis Bay, Goulburn, Wollongong, and so on. Some of these are part of my everyday life, while others are destinations we covered in two recent trips this summer - <a href="https://vocabuleria.blogspot.com/2023/01/sparkling-sapphire-coast.html?m=1" target="_blank">South Coast</a> and <a href="https://vocabuleria.blogspot.com/2023/02/north-coast-beckons.html?m=1" target="_blank">North Coast</a>.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">I couldn't contain my thrill. It was so contagious that my son and spouse soon joined to ponder how those places were always there but they meant nothing for anyone then. Whoever knows where life takes you?</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Here are some clicks of the flickers from my past that have now paled to insignificance in use but haven't fallen by the wayside of memory lane!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

But you can't possibly go overboard with beaches when your 'land is girt by seas'. Wavering golden patterns of waves and sun on the sand beneath, glittering horizon like fairy's gold dust, enticing warm and clear tang of sea are irresistible, unescapable.

That proviso did little to stop us in the face of the sultry afternoon. Who'd dither to ditch the heat? W</span><span>e changed into swim shorts and tops and stepped into the water before we could change our mind - our only company was a family of 4 and their brown dog that gingerly lolloped after the retreating waves but steered clear of the incoming swells.

It wasn't an easy one - 375 steps each way winding and spiralling through a lush rainforest teeming with life - well, cicadas to be precise, for their buzzing thrummed in our ears like a thousand marcus at play. And mosquitoes - there was no way we could deprive them of some amazeball entrée out of our blood, bon appetite! The view goes by the name. It was easy to realise how hawks see our towns, coasts, creeks, rivers (Coolonglook and Wallinger here), lakes (Wallis Lake here), and islands (Mills Island here). After we caught our breath and captured some stunning hues, the reality of how tuckered out we'd gotten sank in. Sweating in sweltering evening we clambered back to our car and sighed with relief in its air conditioned interior. But that was ephemeral as we had to brace up for another long drive of over 2 hours (220 Km) to Numbucca, speeding past Forster, Taree, Port Mcquarie and leaving behind a network of waterways weaved by rivers like Manning, Hastings, Wilson, Macleay.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxlGleHK-pXN5Cqt1AMm-fwulUadR22rY6Fiyg46iUg60bqjjtV_88acFHSUhP4r3JE9Nr5iIYdcirCnonRjr4aeea5Vy7oXmd8Kn3zdx_vVaHrpxSNf7qodf4Dh9KBmfmhA1R103SM9kw-hObu1qasWMOei63Iz6I2fbWfXDcsNw3Ro3mROpZCojz/s4000/20230126_171030.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="1848" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxlGleHK-pXN5Cqt1AMm-fwulUadR22rY6Fiyg46iUg60bqjjtV_88acFHSUhP4r3JE9Nr5iIYdcirCnonRjr4aeea5Vy7oXmd8Kn3zdx_vVaHrpxSNf7qodf4Dh9KBmfmhA1R103SM9kw-hObu1qasWMOei63Iz6I2fbWfXDcsNw3Ro3mROpZCojz/s320/20230126_171030.jpg" width="148" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRpP4hcPkNwU14KE4_iLWP2w2rgAAQf8fCnffMzdWehvo5Brm083j7SJiFoYhDGArT24ilsR7AC6NrsaRFrUEOApPR5CUrpDXFI1n3PhbrkajuyG8tiBINALRqK1vvmpxXcYBszVu5bpZ773kNxt4ufp8yzSD9GhRhJZJLVSlFSTjjwfMCiycwI4l0/s4000/20230126_171627.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1848" data-original-width="4000" height="148" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRpP4hcPkNwU14KE4_iLWP2w2rgAAQf8fCnffMzdWehvo5Brm083j7SJiFoYhDGArT24ilsR7AC6NrsaRFrUEOApPR5CUrpDXFI1n3PhbrkajuyG8tiBINALRqK1vvmpxXcYBszVu5bpZ773kNxt4ufp8yzSD9GhRhJZJLVSlFSTjjwfMCiycwI4l0/s320/20230126_171627.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyCFj3wpPcdC_vlqthaN1oFswZEmEglBbsbcmttkyCzgYrwbTsLXkbB592x6MK8LA8M_BFJECHfgyhTwr9CSBLnqXrifiIcPLI7CzDs38nPWMokfP4HwJ_T-ZZ0eAFvyGz0cgr0SYKPpcgeIXAMad7wmz7fgHOFR8Rs46P9khpOpiRf_dbbf7LAPEk/s4000/20230126_171637.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1848" data-original-width="4000" height="148" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyCFj3wpPcdC_vlqthaN1oFswZEmEglBbsbcmttkyCzgYrwbTsLXkbB592x6MK8LA8M_BFJECHfgyhTwr9CSBLnqXrifiIcPLI7CzDs38nPWMokfP4HwJ_T-ZZ0eAFvyGz0cgr0SYKPpcgeIXAMad7wmz7fgHOFR8Rs46P9khpOpiRf_dbbf7LAPEk/s320/20230126_171637.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxFpoRA0MgPjpSlR_EVw4uWDEEb2O8WF2VUHduVnE_uw1Y9Am4Web6r6-sQ9qQX91P4VaQSgyPOXT6dsYDn_4zbrgJw1AX8HN8vh0GgSIthdqwlIfA6SlyjHHwu320vkEBoIceH1VGycn-0GYuulJEbudw_wZU4v1oCGxq8dPA8ZObyoLS-Q-6Q3UP/s1070/Screenshot_20230126_221155_WhatsApp.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="994" data-original-width="1070" height="297" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxFpoRA0MgPjpSlR_EVw4uWDEEb2O8WF2VUHduVnE_uw1Y9Am4Web6r6-sQ9qQX91P4VaQSgyPOXT6dsYDn_4zbrgJw1AX8HN8vh0GgSIthdqwlIfA6SlyjHHwu320vkEBoIceH1VGycn-0GYuulJEbudw_wZU4v1oCGxq8dPA8ZObyoLS-Q-6Q3UP/s320/Screenshot_20230126_221155_WhatsApp.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Rested overnight, we commenced our Day-2 with renewed zeal.

Guess what - it turned out to be a serendipitous find. We quickly deserted the wooden walkway to wade in the shallows that stretched for several metres before embracing the endless ocean. The shallows were the confluence of rivers and lagoons that treated us not only with a curious (or rather a furious) octopus, saltmarshes, and mangroves, but also with a range of colours that varied with the depth of water. Urunga was far from quite. Camping ground was at stone's throw. Air was filled with cries of thrill and frolicking of children and adults alike. Pets are allowed. So with us we had a brown beauty that merrily waded at its neck-high water without the impunity (of the consequences like getting wet, changing, felling a sticky and sandy afterwards). As it capered, schools of tiny fish swam helter-skelter to escape what must have appeared to them as monstrous tsunami. On the banks, large yellow flowers adorned trees like a string of big yellow bulbs.💡 We walked up to them to have a closer view and decide if they were really natural! After a few clicks and picks (fallen flowers) we bid goodbye to Urunga.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiar6Scbf3FFXk_oFgc902JlaeEecWBUOnigZIX7wkmbJ_wIIPhXv6lg_e1RwEQPXLYzv4qVTOznU24jsxgAThYVrxUn2O4B9RUS-u4_CVJN0e49xXuwagpzZZ7wjQUmkN_jvD0pbDq-3lMy_KUGJynjI1999Pte_ZmxfuM7GfhsbReV8GoLlSa-YCl/s1584/Screenshot_20230220_084937_Maps~2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

We couldn't be wrong if we said we touched the end of land in as we ran down the slope to get as close as we could to the last rock. The abutting beach was wrapped with an abundance of sea shells 🐚 - such we never witnessed before - a shell-haven. Our little fistfuls were literally drops in the ocean - we filled our pockets with puerile satisfaction. Hauling ourselves up the slope was the only damper - but Denali Tramper walking poles and Denali water bladder saved the day.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Richmond River mouth in Ballina, like all others seen before, is guarded by two parallel walls of boulders jutting in to the pounding waves of tumultuous ocean. Instead of walking to the furthest end, we took a detour to the Lighthouse Beach. Large black stones polished plain by the sea were scattered all over the beach. We picked a few to enhance our collection before driving to the exotic Ballina Head Lookout. See for yourself why it's "exotic" - the greens of screwpine blending into sea green waters look straight out of some travel glossies.</span></div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

It crowns the gate to an amusement park. Since we had plenty to do outside the park, we only stopped by for some clicks with the Banana - afterall, I had to show off my lemon yellow jacket that I donned briefly only to match up the yellow background! Post lunch, we spent well over an hour at the Jetty Beach - a long stretch of flat sand bed makes it ideal for non-swimmers to savour the fun safely. We would've lingered there till dusk had we not booked our next accommodation further south at Port Mcquarie.</span></div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Lights and people enlivened the little city centre by the dark vastness of Hastings River. The river is widest here at its mouth, laboriously trudging to the sea. We walked past Little Shacks towards the guarded river mouth. Impaling the tenebrosity in the horizon, the silver temptress silently glimmered on the dark waters below; it was divine, it was a canvas on an invisible easel.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">We kept our Day-4 concise as journey to home was a demanding 4-hour drive (375 Km).

But a 1200 Km drive on a 4-day-3-night trip to Shoalhaven and Sapphire Coast right after proved equally enthralling. Weaving through quaint sleepy towns of Berry, Narooma, Milton, Tathra, Bermagui, Mogo, Merimbula, tucked away between startling ultramarine hues of ocean and unique flora fauna cover of Great Dividing Range, we soaked in every drop of beauty the terrain offered.</span></p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">While panoramic views of pristine ocean, untarnished beaches, alluring river mouths, serene lakes, shimmering backwaters are the main attractions of these areas, the iconic rock formations that the waves finessed over 500 million years are even more stunning! Australia Rock, Camel Rock, Horse Head Rock, Cathedral Rocks have names to them making them significant in the craggy coastline. But there are numerous others along the cliffy fringes without a moniker, yet astounding nonetheless. Unique layers of rocks laced by sandy-pebbly-rocky beaches and frills of white crests on aquamarine waves blend with adjoining bucolic beauty to lend South Coast an unique aura.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">As for the trip, we started with Fitzroy Falls. Watching the water tumbling and rushing down relentlessly through 266-ft in a setting of boundless rolling hills was humbling. We hiked a couple of kilometers in the trails nestled in wilderness to cover some awe-inspiring lookouts.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxMnOhGrbcUU5wRT57ibv4KBi7iLecWxKsn8jDgRkzKSmCC6DA917gDlA5VZ8GyCuIlriIYgF0FcFMdNvDLXA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Fitzroy and its surroundings </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh10gXYhPsCWqvtKWcEbOUpnxh5agGPQZm7-TZuBmE3SDdvE5s7r7EAw6lHMVesCUYHevBkVMojN6ogtuM8xcAqzuRWQM3oe9HxBFc0gpZknnXWfnZE_1X_JYYW8PBfnvEmXGZP1xrSVBI03upHuV5gj3-rxPG2bTOkUBGB4N4C_XIA47MAN9jSKad0/s4032/4AAF9AC8-3AE4-456E-BF74-4E9E2766989D.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh10gXYhPsCWqvtKWcEbOUpnxh5agGPQZm7-TZuBmE3SDdvE5s7r7EAw6lHMVesCUYHevBkVMojN6ogtuM8xcAqzuRWQM3oe9HxBFc0gpZknnXWfnZE_1X_JYYW8PBfnvEmXGZP1xrSVBI03upHuV5gj3-rxPG2bTOkUBGB4N4C_XIA47MAN9jSKad0/s320/4AAF9AC8-3AE4-456E-BF74-4E9E2766989D.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgigswLQmXJBe8AJ7OUtBv7EIy4fcz-AZJ59MwWxYzNeRz6cnx1EGK-izypYk7H5mT_qwg-UQmxRvagRShSG0P82hR6v-dVjXjT4JIiXFyecpmX-xEzz9tY_AfnYCzfksx0QBP40KH9kSsnEPe3YluudlRCMvaIX4O9qjzI-TaBvcmbhRiWt_VYkPlw/s4032/0785A8C2-9AAC-4655-9138-D31AF4587279.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgigswLQmXJBe8AJ7OUtBv7EIy4fcz-AZJ59MwWxYzNeRz6cnx1EGK-izypYk7H5mT_qwg-UQmxRvagRShSG0P82hR6v-dVjXjT4JIiXFyecpmX-xEzz9tY_AfnYCzfksx0QBP40KH9kSsnEPe3YluudlRCMvaIX4O9qjzI-TaBvcmbhRiWt_VYkPlw/s320/0785A8C2-9AAC-4655-9138-D31AF4587279.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></span><span style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">On the second day we covered most of the spectacular Shloalhaven and briefly touched the sparkling Sapphire Coast. Highlight of the day was watching seals frolicking in the choppy waters at Wagonga Head. We captured in our cameras some of them clambering up the sun-baked boulders to bask in the afternoon warmth - a leisurely break from swimming! Not far from their feat, we too scrambled up our 8'-knife-sharp vertical way precariously to fit our silhouettes in the frame that Australia Rock proffered. Finally, Camel Rock, sitting steadfastly by the side of an unblemished beach, was the perfect spot to be at before calling it a day - calm yet wild in the glow of slanting rays of sun.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The whales, however, were busy elsewhere and didn't deign to do justice to the lookout name. Warm Southern Ocean waters would be teeming with these 14-17 m giants who'd start migrating only when it gets colder - that's when this lookout would rise to significance. Thus, though the deck offers unhindered horizon to watch them capering and socialising from the stability of the shores instead of dizzying deep sea cruises, we satiated ourselves with a few family photos at the stunning viewpoint. Wild waves thundering and hammering the resolutely rocky edge of land, gushing back through staggering crevices to barrel back swiftly were gripping to watch and listen in the quietude - far from humdrum of human life. Our next stop was at an immaculate Pambula Beach. After hours of paddling in the transparent waters and playing in the sandy shallows, we headed for one of the oldest rock formations in Australia, Horse Head Rock. An eight to ten-minute adventurous hike from the car-park gradually revealed the distinctive arch reminiscent of a grazing horse by crystal clear waters on a pebbly and seemingly inaccessible shore. We concluded the day at One Tree Point of Tuross Head, a 30-minute drive from the distinguished rock.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dymkxhxHbi-Fi_NTFnjxueqfx9a00tB63nczh55tQHERibGplZK1OoFclrDBe820NhRIc9NDqUJaM5LpMZRxA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;">Watching and listening the swells at this felicitous humpback whale corridor lookout - as if they are washing the feet of a giant <i>land-lord </i>in acquiescence but in actuality stealthily embezzling tiniest of particles to sculpt and carve the <i>him</i> over time</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

There's nothing to blow our own trumpet on what's inevitable - transitioning to senior school years. However, it'll be unfair if I don’t pen down and share how eventful this academic year has been for our son.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Joining a new school is daunting, more so in the face of Covid induced school-style. That's exactly what our son went through when he first stepped into Normanhurst Boys High School (NBHS) in February, 2020. Irregular school schedules meant lesser engagement with the new people and place. On top of it, Covid had drawn curtains over several extra curricular activities for nearly two years.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">But once the hiatus ceased, a passel of opportunities came his way to get involved in. This forged a feeling of association with the school, which in return awarded him generously with certificates and badges as a nod of acknowledgement to his services for the school - being part of Peer Support Group, guiding new joiners, providing school tour to parents of aspiring students, assisting parents during Yr-10 Information Evening, participating in Grounds Day, actively utilising Work Experience Week, working his fingers to the bone and staying up late in the nights for completing assignments on time, striving to go beyond the comfort zone and sit optional exams outside curriculum arranged by the school.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Completing Yr-10 is a memorable milestone in life. To mark it, NBHS invited parents on 9th December to Portfolio Presentation, emceed proudly by the students themselves from Yr-10 cohort. The boys were presented the coveted Senior Tie - a symbol of stepping into shoes with higher responsibilities.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">We were fortunate to be part of the grand Presentation Night as well this year on 13th December evening at Grand Pavilion, Roseville Gardens. It was an experience in itself to witness the top quarter of Yr-7 to Yr-11 getting recognised with prestigious awards handed out by notable guests like Julian Leeser, representatives of top universities, and other eminent dignitaries. While a riveting speech from alumnus Tomas Galanti glued our attention to every word he uttered, the vocal and musical ensembles, directed by Sally Cousins, left us in awe and wonder at the professionalism and skills these boys exhibited. It was well organised by teachers, and executed immaculately by prefects, and school captain. Our son was only a sliver in the stratospheric arrangement of things, yet, it was an awesome way to conclude all these years of hard work.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Most importantly, this year showcased resilience wherein all the students, despite their sickness from the virus and/ or vaccinations, bounced back to the rigours of the academic schedule to claim glory in their respective ways. Here's a big shout out to my son, his cohort, and the teachers who relentlessly persevered for their success - instructing the classes in person and uploading the lessons online so nobody's a straggler. With a heavy heart, we did bid goodbye to Mr Naidoo, Ms Raj, and Ms Cousins, but their contributions will be instilled in our children for years. The world’s dichotomous; beside this heaviness sits the cheer of honoring Mr Lam, who was awarded with nothing less than the esteemed Minister's Award for Excellence in Teaching and Ann Thomas Award for Long Term Contribution to the Mathematical Association of NSW. Thus a marvellous year concluded.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Congratulations on completing Stage 5!
