An Ale of a time…

Posted by: Jolvin on: September 10, 2009

The Wikipedia states an Ale to be “Ale is a type of beer brewed from malted barley using a top-fermenting brewers’ yeast. This yeast ferments the beer quickly, giving it a sweet, full bodied and fruity taste. Most ales contain hops, which impart a bitter herbal flavour that helps to balance the sweetness of the [...]

Pav, Pohe, and Politics

Posted by: Jolvin on: December 6, 2008

Oh my great state what has become of thou!
Thy politicians are fighting o’er pohe and pav.
To each it’s the food of the soil
Yet it’s all a clever political foil
Oh my great state what has become of thou!
Thy politicians are fighting o’er pohe and pav.
They beef up their security
While our lives are full of anxiety
Oh my [...]

I quit

Posted by: Jolvin on: December 1, 2008

Someone took moral responsibility
Someone listened to his conscience
Someone was put under pressure
They all quit
I wonder who will clean up the mess – or will that person quit too?

A city under siege

Posted by: Jolvin on: November 28, 2008

While our state politicians were busy fighting over pohe and pav, vociferously defending the terror attacks in Malegaon and blaming the ATS (Anti Terrorist Squad) as partisan, they gave a red carpet welcome to approx. 26 militants to hold the financial capital to ransom. And this time it was not some coward militants who planted [...]

‘Three’ to Tango

Posted by: Jolvin on: August 18, 2008

I never thought I would be so clued in to the Olympics this time around. Having lost interest from the 1988 edition I came back to watch the Olympics with the same zest that I had before 1988. Obviously in those days it was to watch the superpowers like US, USSR, Germany and China fight [...]

Homeward Bound

Posted by: Jolvin on: July 18, 2008

After going through SFO, LAX, PHL, BOS and JFK amongst others, I’m finally set to go home. Must say it’s a lovely feeling to be on my way back. Will complete the round trip around the globe today. Carrying back memories, memorobilia, and pictures.
Homeward bound
Home, where my thought’s escaping
Home, where my music’s playing
Home, where my [...]

Glory be to you

Posted by: Jolvin on: June 26, 2008

For a boy of 10 years the concept of reaching the finals of the World Cup of One Day Cricket may not have been such a big thing. Only after realising that the only time his country ever won a match before that was back in 1975 that too laboriously against minnows then known as East [...]

Dear Dad/Mom

Posted by: Jolvin on: February 21, 2008

Dearest Dad and Mom,
How are you? I hope you are doing fine. I am fine but very disappointed today. I know I have not been known to complain but I will today – wholeheartedly.
Why did you not allow me to break more bulbs and window panes when I was younger? Why did you scold [...]

Over ‘net’worked

Posted by: Jolvin on: December 10, 2007

For anyone in business someone who doesn’t network it spells the death knell for the business. However, this is not about business. This is about networking – more so social networking…and no I’m not talking about them dating sites (I’m way past that age and time). I’m talking about this phenomenon that is catching up, [...]

Of Festivities and Complaints

Posted by: Jolvin on: November 14, 2007

The festival of lights is over and done with for this year. All promises of a noise free festival are up in smoke. Yet I have no complains really. I’d think to each his own, some people have to look at their side of the fun before really being bothered about what the repercussions for [...]
