Today's kids would probably have gone home and demanded an immediate replacement.<br /><br />BTW, I have tagged you at Past Continuous.

It used to be my brother's and it was old and the leather was scarred but I used to hero worship my brother so much that the wallet was the greatest source of pride and joy. I still think of it and can't believe I lost it. You are right Sir, when you say that happiness and sorrow are two sides of a coin. There seems to be a very fine line between the two. It is very easy to cross over at times. The knowledge that in the end nothing matters much will only come from maturity and experience I suppose!<br /><br />Regards.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5653188975343905818.post-18563057464684300882009-06-15T02:37:30.883+05:302009-06-15T02:37:30.883+05:30This is a very nice article.

Surprisingly, we have many such incidents happening in our childhood that gives us an indication that how life would be and how we should best live it. However, we seldom tend to remember it. I wonder why though. Is it something to do with our personalities? <br /><br />I am sure it is. I have started feeling very strongly, that though we are tremendously well read and well versed about all the philosophies in life but when it comes to putting them in practice, our performance is terrible. Lately this has been bothering me to a great extent so much so that I am tending to go into a shell and that is not making me happy. <br /><br />Many thanks for the post nevertheless, it reminded me the essence of living life. <br /><br />Best regardsTanmoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10472125805572571597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5653188975343905818.post-17449233866411620142009-06-14T23:17:38.524+05:302009-06-14T23:17:38.524+05:30Dear Anirban and Zillionbig, I feel both proud and...Dear Anirban and Zillionbig, I feel both proud and humble that I could touch a chord with you, although in different ways, with this little true story of my life. <br /><br />Zillionbig, In response to an earlier post, you said you like my writings about Kerala.

Apart from the fun that it gave to me while reading it also has taught me an important lesson once again. <br /><br />Ever since my mobile phone got stolen last week, I was feeling a bit disturbed and frustrated. Just the way you might have felt after you lost your football.<br /><br />Now after reading your story I do feel a lot relieved. Life surely is much bigger than a mobile phone set or a football:)<br /><br />We tend to forget these simple things in our lives. Thanks for reminding it once more.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />AnirbanAnirban Dasguptahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04847011686718409552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5653188975343905818.post-84427268331957435042009-06-13T10:30:25.598+05:302009-06-13T10:30:25.598+05:30Delightful read as ever from you.

Having grown up surrounded by army men and cantonments(my father was a major and Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan who attained martyrdom during Mumbai attacks in Nov08 is my cousin) i could feel the place as i read. <br /><br />Though there is an age difference between us (you mentioned you daughter to be thirty which i am) your memoir had familiarity with which i could relate to.<br /><br />You have rightly summed up-happiness and sorrow are two sides of the same coin. And at the end of the day, neither matters much.<br /><br />Sorrows are equally imperative, since only sorrows can make you value happiness.<br />And do you write for Newspapers?. Not surprising at all. Take care.:))ZBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02447730465256670305noreply@blogger.com
