Glorious Sixty Year Olds

         S-145, Panchshila Park Vasant Vihar seems  a bit like home now, not completely but the areas are beginning to look familiar, I do not wake up and wonder where I am any more and I still call S-145 my home but then I also call C 6/6 home. Why do we get so attached to bricks and mortar? Why is it that some place gives you great vibes and welcomes you, whereas in some homes as soon as you enter there is a desire to leave. We have always hoped that our home will be a welcoming one, a place where people were welcome to come when they want and stay as long they want - to some extent!. We feel that we have achieved it where ever we have lived and maybe our friends feel that to. Homes are our lifeline, they make or break our moods. They are places where we can look for happiness for ourselves or just sit back and make ourselves miserable. But we forget that each home is a new place and we have to establish the atmosphere and the ambiance o...

A s we prepare to move to a new home in Vasant Vihar, mainly due to family obligations, both of us are going through a period of introspection and of wondering what the future holds for us. We are getting older, an undeniable fact! We are getting slower and more lethargic, another undeniable fact! We are happy to move house - now that is where the facts begin to get muddled up, that is where we are not too sure about what is happening and whether it is the correct decision to make.

Spoke to many friends and relatives, took too many opinions and spent many nights just sitting and staring at the walls. What finally made the decision for me was one evening when I could not even turn round into my road for 30 minutes because of the traffic mess all around. Then it felt that enough was enough and a decision was confirmed. Do our children agree with us? I am not too sure, they are...

Why is it - that as soon as we have grandchildren we change from stern parents to soft gooey human beings who will drop everything at the sound of a little voice. Where are the strict disciplinarians who would not give their children chocolates because they would spoil their teeth, but will keep buying chocolates and toffees for their grandchildren totally against the wishes of their own children ? Have all of you felt this - have any of you got any reasons why this happens. I have seen it happen to my own very strict father - and I am watching helplessly as I give in to every reasonable and unreasonable demand that my granddaughter makes !! Grandparents are part time parents - they do not have the responsibility full time - they can send the babies away and relax after a full day with them. Maybe that is one of the reasons !! Anyway - here are some pictures of my two - just being put up for my own joy and egoistical pleasures !!
