The groom and the broom

There was this bridegroom
His bride, he tried to groom
She laid on him well with a broom
The marriage was on the verge of a doom
To make the marriage again bloom
The groom took to products of loom
He bought for her designer attire
And adorned her with yellow metal and sapphire
The broom stayed in the corner
The threat remained however
Then came the apple of the eye of the couple
With it came more problems on the double
If things go wrong, it is all due to his fault
If things go right, it is despite his fault
The baby girl grew into a beautiful maiden
To be swept off her feet by a dashing swain
On the day of the wedding, the man took aside the groom
And gave the following advise to avoid future gloom
Never try to correct your bride
Lest you have wheals on your hide
Replace the traditional broom
With a vacuum cleaner to clean the room
Makes it more difficult to wield as a weapon
Even if she is in a difficult mood to reason
Remember she is right in everything
You better agree or there is nothing
Buying clothes and jewels is not the way to her heart
Total surrender is the way to avoid hurt
Follow my advise to the letter
And life you will have for the better

Running towards my first 10K

More preparation:  Having acquired 'proper running shoes'. my mind was on to more acquistions in the name of 'running'. I bought the 'Apple watch' to monitor my pace and bought a 600 dollar ear buds for listening to music while running. I understand that I am not the example of a perfectly formed male, but I was surprised that the asymmetry in my body extended even to my ear canals. The left sided ear bud refused to stay in place for more than a few seconds. While I was busy scratching my nose, the earbud popped out and rolled into the nearby drain. With 300 dollars down the drain and the other 300 dollars in my right ear, I returned home. After a lot of research I came across the bone conducting earphones. They sit on the mandible and are stable unless I break my mandible. The downside is that one hears all ambient sounds and your childhood friend can still scare you with a loud 'Boo' from behind. Now that I am well settled with shoes (and socks), music...

When the running bug bit me

I was 62 and going strong. I was physically reasonably active but went out for morning walks only on and off. One fine day the 'running bug' bit me. It is funny if we look at 'running' as an activity and its connotations. Humans are 'Born to run' says Christopher McDougall. Our fore fathers-'the hunter gatherers' had to run to feed themselves and their families. There were perhaps no exceptions- every one had to run. Their coronary arteries must have been 'whistle clean'.  In the present day a significant percentage of population do not move much (couch potatoes or perhaps couch yams!) or are moved by mechanical devices (scooters/cars). When we hear of 40-50 yr olds having stents placed in their coronary arteries, it is no surprise that at 62, I started to wonder whether I am living on borrowed time and the clock is clicking away (you know what clock I am referring to).  All of a sudden, I became conscious of a certain bulge in the middle which r...

Covid and India

Dear Friends, I started this blog to post some of my musings that are triggered by events in daily life but meant to be for pure fun. I have no intention of insulting any one or hurting their sentiments. I hope the readers take it in that perspective, have a nice laugh and forget about it. I have exploited the writer's prerogative to exaggerate many things with the aim of tickling your funny bone. The first post is about Covid and India. Please read and enjoy. Covid and India Year 2020: Covid-19 has come to India. It is looking for opportunities to spread. The government's directive of social distancing is posing a hurdle. Let us look at the scene from COVID-19's perspective.  Covid looks at a couple- obviously married several years back walking on the road. The husband is walking several paces ahead while the poor wife is struggling with two bags filled with house hold items. In between his dialogue on the mobile phone, he turns back and beckons his wife to keep pace with ...
