Recently the School had a Mommy Papa day – where children were to be sent to school dressed as Mom and Dad. Nothing wrong as role playing is always a good thing at learning for the small kids. Moreover, the school’s way of doing things in a fun way – this was going to be [...]
Narmada River, Jabalpur and Tourism
A few weeks back we went to Bhedaghat. The Narmada river seemed to be at its furious best. Usually Jan / Feb months are best for visiting such places. Some of the snapshots of the river below:

The ropeway has increased the tourist attraction – by making the view of Narmada river more accessible and a [...]
Kangaroo Kids Jabalpur on Picasa
Sometime back, the Principal Smt. Charanjit Matharu had told me that the school had decided to open a Picasa account. This was due to the fact that there were so many photographs being taken of different activities being undertaken during school hours – that it became difficult for them to keep track of all the [...]
BSNL Online Complaint and Grievance Redressal
BSNL is an erstwhile govt. department converted to PSU. And now it is competing in open market with Private and Transnational Telecom Companies.
The biggest competitive differentiation in service sector is “Service” itself. And most important part of ’service’ in this sector is grievance redressal. It is unfortunate – that BSNL subscribers face many problems [...]
Review: 3 Idiots
Wild, whacky, and hilarious – thats how I would describe “3 Idiots”. Having read the book – 5 Point Someone (Chetan Bhagat), on which the movie is based, I would say, the events in the book were only episodic for the film. The film by itself was quite original in its thinking – the storyline [...]
Bajaj: End of an Era
Recently there has been a news that Bajaj is going to stop manufacture of scooters. At one time, Bajaj was synonymous with scooters in India and even till the nineties, it was fairly good with competition. However gradually, they have been phasing out their scooter line.
There are various ways to look at it: a shift [...]
Computer Problems: XP Operating System
My computer went blank! After the XP splash screen, the monitor would go blank. The computer service shop diagnosed it that the operating system had got corrupted. There should have been better way out – however my service computer shop (at Jabalpur) advised that I should install the XP on a free partition. I suspect, [...]
BSNL Landline
BSNL definitely is changing. I had applied for a landline phone from BSNL recently. The connection came quick (within 4 days). Moreover, the set provided was one with CLI facility – the facility itself comes free.
We really expect so less from Government PSUs – that anthing good really surprises! Even till today the private operator [...]
Parent Teacher Meeting
This was the second Parent teacher meeting at Kangaroo Kids (Jabalpur). We were also shown the ‘report card’. The parents’ are given time separately for each child.
In the first meeting held a couple of months back – we were told that such meetings are usually held for people in big metros, who cannot come to [...]
Kurbaan, the movie
Going to movie is no longer just the movie, but the whole experience of it. Its sort of outing, having snacks / food outside, and along with it comes the movie.
But it is really nice to see movies like Kurbaan being made by the predictable and repetitive Bollywood.
Though the story line was not innovative [...]
Childrens Day and Puppet Show at School
Childrens Day has always been special. In India, it is now customary to celebrate it on birthday of Jawaharlal Nehru – as he loved children very much. We remember it more as a day when we got toffees and ‘laddoos’ at school! This time on Childrens Day, we were invited to Isha’s school (Kangaroo Kids, [...]
Annual Sports Day 2009
Isha’s school – the Kangaroo Kids (Jabalpur) had organised the annual sports day today at JCB Ground (Manas Bhawan). We went there at 8.30 AM. The Chief Guests were late by nearly half an hour and kept all the children and parents waiting for the function to start.
(Its difficult to understand that why in India [...]
Wake up Competition: Jabalpur, Movies and Shopping Malls
Today is Dhanteras and also there is mood of festivity. We therefore decided to go to the newly commissioned multiplex theater in Jabalpur – the first in this place. It is named Movie-Magic.
At Jabalpur we had stopped going to movie because of cramped old halls which did not have either decent sitting arrangement or proper [...]
Ramlila at School
Its not that I have not written about my daughter Isha’s experiences in her school. However, I thought writing about Isha was not just to be confined to school but was a wider thing.
Consequently I created a separate blog of her.
However, there are occasion which I would be putting it here as well.
This time [...]

मैं बहुत दिनो से इंटरनेट पर भारतीय भाषाओ में लिखने का कोई आसान तरीका ढूड रहा था। भारतीय भाषा में इंटरनेट पर लिखना एक अलग अनुभूति है।
मुझे लगता था कि इसके लिये कोइ विशेष सॉफ्टवेयर आता होगा। बहुत दिनो से मै यह खोज रहा था कि भारतीय भाषाओ में वर्डप्रेस पर कैसे लिखे। विभिन्न [...]
