....Jingle Bells & Tolling Bells....!!!!

....Merry Christmas to Frnds & Fmly....!!!!....as the Bell Tolls at Bethlehem nd Infant Jesus is born....the World erupts in festivity nd Holiday.....ingraining the sermons of universal brotherhood,tolerance nd sacrifice.....as we r on the threshold of another yr....the sermons r all the more relevant for a sustaining peace which we al crave for the Globe ...for the sake of our progeny....as we settle nd crave for a more cosy life ...it seems its a chimaera we r chasing.....2014 is definitely the Nadir of all horrible things tht afflict us...strife...nd more strife....bigotry...intolerance...nd definitely unsafe we l r more now....yet to come to terms to the loss of innocence in Pakistan...massacre of school children....I am dumbfounded...numb...casting a pall of gloom over any positivity we can think off.....must rise frnds frm this morass nd rededicate ourselves for anything good on this auspicious day...Prayers nd more prayers the need of the hour.....!!!.........

quoting John Donne.yet again....

"No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thine own
Or of thine friend's were.
Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee......" John Donne.....".Unquote".

.....the entry to "Probas"...

.....prelude to 'Probas' our new aboard in Sunny Maldives Isles in the first week of Dec.was turbulent to say the least...The Vastu of our old home made a last ditch attempt to teach us a lesson for ditching & dumping it for good.....in tht the taps went dry in our last & final week stay, as Male' City was plunged into an unprecedented water crisis ,aft a devastating fire gutted the water company panel boards .....never we had seen such a crisis nd never were planned for it....as the C5 Hercules ,& IL76 of the IAF hovered over the Airport with water supplies frm India...we knew we had to brace for grim days ahead....INS Sukanya & INS Deepak al headed nd anchored in the bay with their desalinator plants working overtime...China, US,,Sri Lanka, & Bangladesh pitched in with their ships nd aircrafts nd in no time it was as if Operation Flood was in full swing....there were serpentine ques in the local schools for per head 3 litres of packaged drinking water....on an 8 hrely shift we wud collect nd the potable water for daily needs obtained frm large tanks mobile nd stationed at particular hrs....the children now on school holiday had a task cut out nd needless to say the Kshatrani in Archana stood like a rock marshalling her resources for a smooth run of her show....amidst this  hullabaloo, we shifted to PROBAS nd my trusted clientele ensured a smooth physical transfer....by tht time  the crisis  had stabilized nd we waiting patiently for the Brand new taps of PROBAS to gush out like a spring....our patience paid off nd supply was restored at the 7th day of the crisis...there were cheers nd the resilient populace performed stupendously in discipline in the face of the crisis...hats off to the community here...!!!!....the Old home finally let us go...though Arnav &Doel shed a tear or two before final departure...Arnav's Infancy nd Doel's Kindergarden all spent there...the Eastern Board of Sunrise nd the Western Front Hangout....with the turncoat Deep Blue all etched in Memoriam....all of us in a flux in new home ....believe me....I ensured a similar setting here....the Western Balcony a fabulous Sun Set Point.....!!!!!
