Molly and Polly

-



Molly and Polly were two cows from the beautiful Switzerland. They had come to India on an official visit to meet the members of the ICA(International Cow Association). They had finished their final meeting at the Bangalore center and were tired after the grueling week. Polly felt very hungry and her husband, Molly said,"Moooooo. Wait my dear, I will search for a nice restaurant for us to have our final dinner in India". Polly trusted her husband to be successful in his search.



Molly returned after a few minutes and took Polly with him to a place he claimed to be close to heaven. And all that Polly saw was a big, white tank. Polly was disappointed because it was raining heavily and she had eaten nothing since early afternoon. Molly realised his wife's worry and told her "Sweetheart, trust me, this is the best thing we can ever dream of having and it is just the perfect weather for this".


Polly was a good sport and she went closer to the tank. She saw a beautiful concoction with colourful vegetables. "Yumm!" she thought. Molly explained to her that it was a Sweet Corn Soup which is not traditionally Indian, but was his favourite anyway.


Polly's excitement increased as they sipped the hot soup and relished the different flavours. In the meanwhile the rain had stopped and they managed to get their tummies filled. Molly and Polly, with saliva still dripping down from the sides of their mouth walked to the airport content with their successful visit and a warm, wonderful dinner and a box of Laddus presented by the ICA, India Chaircow.



So until we meet Molly and Polly again, Bon Appetit!

sorry to say both molly and Polly met with an accident on their way back home as an elderly woman who did not have driving licence for her tricycle and caused death to them. unfortunately, nobody could trace the lady so far, so escaped from severe punishment.whoever reads this poor pet's story please pay your respect and mourn for a minute.

The above comment was from my sweet toothed FIL who tried to subtly convey to me that Molly and Polly accidentally fell down and are now RIP in the municipality garbage area. May they RIP ! :(

The loss of a friend !

My Father-in-law was not the typical FIL who was distant and would not interact with his daughter-in-law. Well, initially he was like that and then he warmed up to my presence and opened up to me. Over the last few years, as we spent a lot of time together, as we were all living in the same home, he became my close friend, mentor, guide and my biggest cheerleader. He was born in Shimoga, grew up in Amrutur with his aunt, started his family in Sagara and eventually retired into Bangalore. 80+ years, he has had the most enviable life. Don't mistake it for a rosy life or a life with no issues or problems! He was one among 11 - 6 boys and 5 girls. He was the 2nd child and as his mother had more children, she needed help raising the kids and so she reached out to her sister in law to take care of him in Amruthur - a farmland. He grew up under the care of his aunt and love from his cousins, who were all girls. He would eat fresh food from the abundance of the farm and also drink milk so...

It's been 5 years !

I still remember not being able to fall asleep on November 7th 2020. I usually crash and sleep almost the instant I decide to call it a day. But that day, I closed my eyes and was tossing and turning and I just could not sleep. It was almost 1 am the next day when I just about started to doze off when I got a call. A call that late into the night from a family member is always dreaded. I now knew why ! I was told that my Amma was not well and we needed to go to see her immediately. 5 minutes after we started, we heard the news that she was no more. The ride took 40 minutes and still felt like a terrible nightmare. Once I reached where she was, we decided to wait for a couple of more hours before informing our family and friends. At 4am, I started making the calls. Reiterating to each one that Amma was no more. It was the toughest to state it out loud like that when no one ever saw it coming. Just 12 hours back we were making plans of what sweets each of us would make for Deepavali. Sh...

A quick list of my current Top 5 favourite Taylor Swift songs

I thought I would put up my top 5 TS songs as of Dec 2025 because it will 100% keep changing. 1. All too Well - Like she mentioned on Stephen Colbert Show, yup , the 10-minute version is best to let out an emotional cry. I may not have a broken heart now, but I can imagine her hurt and I feel that hurt and I can listen to the song and feel the emotions and sometimes even cry thinking about heartbreak that is not there in reality, but an imaginary heartbreak just to let out a good cry. I dont know if you can understand that, but I would highly recommend being angry and sad at someone through this song. 2. Love Story - I think this was the first song I heard of Taylor and loved it and still do! This is the most romantic song as a young adult and makes you dream of all the sweetness in the world, waiting for someone to sweep you off your feet and be together happily ever after. She sold that dream and that fantasy. I still love the song for the time it takes me back to. 3. Anti...
