This site is as about the inspiration I get, as I am designed to get, where faith and conviction are my two flowers, which receive light when asked to God.
In today’s T20 match between India and New Zealand, New Zealand won by sheer luck and by four runs, but the uniqueness of today’s game was that there were two last ball finishes.
The New Zealand Innings had ended with a four and the Indian innings had ended with a six.
Two last ball finishes are rare in a cricket game.
Adios!
N.B.-Last ball finish happens when any batsman hits a four or six on the last ball of their respective innings.
When my Ma was small, Sunday was a day of wonders for her. It was the happiest day of her week.
The verandah of her house and the garden outside her home would be filled with Sunshine.
There was a tagor tree and flowers used to bloom on it and there were Rose plants in the garden.
The rose plants would consists of “dark maroon roses and pink roses” and dew would be there on the leaves and this whole atmosphere would give her a lot of happiness.
A Tall tree was there in the cross road of the front of her home through which Sun would peep. It was a day of happiness.
In the season of mangoes, the mango tree would be full of mangoes and the “kul”(berry) tree used to be full of “kuls”(berry).
An egg seller would pass by her home selling eggs and as it was Sunday, various other sellers would come by.
In the evening a “Chanachurwala” ( fried snacks seller) would come to sell chanachurs.
Ma was especially happiest as her uncle “Kaku”would come to her home as it was Sunday.
It was a day when her uncle used to come to her home.
He would smell of pan and jarda and his bag would be full of “khazana” (treasures).
After Kaku would reach her home, “khazanas” would start coming out of his bag. The “khazanas” were Anandamela (a magazine), sweets, mangoes, a pan box, a story books and many other books.
He was a Government Officer and in the evening when he had to return home, Ma and her elder sisterwould hide his shoes and ask him to stay back that night and would solemnly tell him that he could go to his office the next day from her home.
Each Sunday was golden and every one of them was the happiest of the happiest of the happiest day for her because her Kaku would come to visit her and after all being a child she used to like those days the most.
Those childhood days have not come back to her and she misses those days the most.
Each Sunday would be a charm for her, making her the most happiest and the magic of Each Sunday was simply full God’s love and blessings.
Sundays were golden, round and the happiest for Ma and had those days been alive today, Ma would have been completely well.
Ma I am always there for you, so a Happy Sunday Ma. Love you Ma.
Adios!
Sunday is a generalised holiday all over the world, but the kids and even adults in my locality treat it as “Cricket Day”.
In the half made stadium infront of my house, eight cricket matches are going on. Its street cricket what they are playing, but they have their own supporters who are serious about supporting their respective teams and those teams have visiting audience also. It’s an atmosphere which cannot be put into words for those who have never seen such a thing before. Plus the T20 between India and New Zealand is also going on, so it is truly a day of cricket.
Till the lights go out in the evening the boys in my locality would continue playing cricket.
Adios!
It’s a delightful day as it is Sunday. You can wake up late like a lazy person and pretend to be asleep even when you have woken up.
Then comes the aspect of having your bath which all generally avoid till the end of the day or they don’t take their bath at all.
Everything seems to go slow on this day and the aspect of preparing or making food is a sensitive issue on this day and folks now a days order breakfast, lunch and dinner from food apps.
The next day morning the results of the digestion of the restaurant food comes out. If its all clear then you can go to your college or office, otherwise a visit to the doctor might be necessary which may include a day’s rest at home.
It’s a day when people basically chill and act as robots and if they are in their “good senses”, then they go to the movies in the evening.
It’s the day which we all wait for throughout the week and when it arrives we spend it sleeping it off.
Have a nice Sunday as it is a sleepy day.
Adios!
Today is Basant Panchami. On this day, Goddess Saraswati, the Goddess of knowledge, learning and music is worshipped.

Before the visarjan of Goddess Saraswati is done on the next day, people eat a mixture of curd and beaten rice, puffed rice mixed with sugar, banana and sandesh. It is called Dodhikarma in Bengali.
This festival is celebrated in West Bengal and Punjab (both of them are Indian states) in a grand way.
In Punjab it is the festival which welcomes spring and at this particular period of time all the mustard fields look grand and flowing in beautiful yellow colour, which associates the yellow colour with this festival. Kite flying festival also takes place in Punjab.
Happy Basant Panchami to all.
