Hi folks, it has been some time since I last blogged – frankly speaking, I have been spending more time at other places (some DIYs at home, updating my Facebook, watching Youtube, playing games, etc) instead of blogging. But it does not mean I have not been keeping up with the snippets – unfortunately, there are more depressing snippets on where this country is heading. In fact, this snippet post and the title had been on a draft mode for months and had undergone several edits so don’t be surprised if you are reading very old snippets here.

Lunatic Acts Before the General Elections – Part 1

By now, they say when the is around the corner, expect some form of lunatic acts and strange things will happen. The sky will turn sweet pink and you will see coming down from their place in the sky down to earth and share the way of life and hardships of the people.

P.s. It has been more than 2 months down the line, the in the (or rather my arm) have reduced drastically.

Year 2017: The Day I Became Car Wash Centre Worker

car wash

(This is probably the worst ever. But the true horror is seeing your loved vehicles being man-handled at the wash centres and being blasted with detergents & shampoos that can rust the car body and wash half done properly and you still need to pay for it. This was one thing that we decided not to do when and if we decided to open our own car wash centre)

Well, it finally happened – that “The Apprentice” guy, Donald becomes the 45th President of the United States of America on 20th January 2017.

So it was not a big surprise when Trump decided to “shake” things down once he had officially taken office – Trump has been talking about throughout his campaign. And that includes his promise to build the wall against Mexico (funding aside) and stopping people from certain countries from entering the country.

It was raining heavily when I went to work one fine morning – I predicted an increased traffic jam due to the rain and a couple of morons speeding and changing lane without any indicators during the heavy rain.

One of the joys of moving a new house many years ago was the chance to do up a garden.

It was a joy because we used to stay in apartments which do not enough for a garden (I mean a proper garden where we can dig in and plant things). So when I had the chance to buy a house of my own, I had great ideas on what I wanted to do with my garden, starting with beautiful carpet grass.
