                      The hermit walked through the village, begging for alms. He lived on the mountain top in a cave. The  mountain was always beautiful anytime of the year and provided for the hermit. But there were other needs and for  that the hermit had to come to the village. He preached to the villagers and treated their ailments as he came from a physicians family.        He came walking to the village from the mountain-top which was a long journey that he made from time to time. He went door to door begging for alms to gtet a little extra help. The folks of the village were kind and prepared some food and supplies for him. He was always happy that they did their bit to help him. Life was simple and not very complicated in the village.  There was not much of a problem as the entire village shared all their resources.       One fine day, as the sun rose among the mountains and the hermit began his walk towards the village, he heard a lot of noise and celebration.

                                                                     As I was growing  up in the beautiful city of Bombay, there were a lot of things that I learnt and imbibed from this great city. One of the things that I discovered  in the city as I munched on its culture was the beautiful music of  Rock, which was a big thing at the time in Bombay – the bay of good hope. The artists I got introduced to and listened to are various artists, and to tell you about that is a never-ending yearning of stories. So that would be kept for another time, or probably …. Another series of articles.   Every Rockstar brought a certain personality, or a style or more effectively—a mannerism which was copied by their followers all around the world. There were some mannerisms that were very common and were exhibited which were commonly practiced by all the Rockers at that time . I was the action of stretching your tongue out of your mouth combined with another move – the metal horns. St

                          Violence      Sitting down in the park, I watched as the kids munched on the candy.  It was a fun fair and there were all kinds of activities going on. Suddenly while these activities were going on there was a big bang.Two boys on the ground had begun to fight, for some trivial reason. The crowd gathered around and stopped the fight. The two fighters were separated and then were thrown out of the event. Violence - truly a part of our nature and will always be. We are . It pops up now and then, and we cannot ignore it. Its that feeling in our blood that wants to get physical.    Aggression has been present throughout time as we go down the ages of past centuries, and will be present till the end of time.

The tree grows and brings in new shoots and flowers, and the trees grow and gets larger. The old shoots dry up in the process, just like our memories. They grow old and fade away, as the brain makes way for new memories, and the old memories fade down in time. Sometimes though, an old memory just comes a visiting, and just illuminates your life like a bulb. While I lay on my couch surfing the internet, I saw the video of U2, one of the hip bands of my day coming on the screen. I was totally taken by surprise, U2 – the U2 was coming to a venue close to me.                     This great international class Grammy award winning act was coming to India, and performing in our country.
