Money CAN buy me love, memories and everything in between!

Paul McCartney and first love 1960

Heard it through the grapevine that our man who co-wrote the song “Can’t buy me love” has found love again and is trying the matrimonial noose again! But why, I wonder at 69 to an old girlfriend? Hopefully this time he would be lucky or at least would not be the sentimental fool on the hill again but wiser in separating money and love. Earlier, believing that the element of love would be tainted by having a pre-nuptial agreement, he found out the hard way after being bruised, battered, ridiculed and losing a million pounds that love won’t do but all that she wants is your money. It is interesting to note our MBE has recovered and recouped from his just ended ugly smack down with his former beau who he was throwing dirt and washing dirty linen in public and is star-struck so soon. And decided to take the plunge again! Obladi, Oblada, life goes on…

Somebody told me recently that best things in life are indeed not free. Ask anybody about the best time they had in their life or about their best event that sticks on their minds. Invariably, it will be a trip to a far away hideaway, a joyous holiday, away from work, a family reunion of sorts- birthday, wedding etcetera, etcetera. Trying taking all your love ones to a paid holiday – they would worship you as a demi-god and put you up on a pedestal. All these cost money. Money can indeed buy you love and the money that buys the pleasant memories will make anyone contended for a long time….

Love indeed must be an over rated virtue - uttered by everyone from parents to young lovers to pastors to women from the oldest profession to paedophiles!

Gory historic details or gore fest?

Razakar: The Silent Genocide Of Hyderabad (Telegu, 2024) Director: Yata Satyanarayana In her last major speech before her disposition, Sheikh Hasina accused those who opposed her rule in Bangladesh of being Razakars. The opposition took offence to this term and soon widespread mob throughout the land. Of course, it is not that that single incident brought down an elected government but a culmination of joblessness and unjust reservations for a select population group. In the Bengali psyche, Razakar is a pejorative term meaning traitor or Judas. It was first used during the 1971 Pakistan Civil War. The paramilitary group who were against the then-East Pakistani leader, Majibur Rehman, were pro-West Pakistan. After establishing independence in Bangladesh, Razakars were disbanded, and many ran off to Pakistan. Around the time of Indian independence, turmoil brewed in the princely state of Hyderabad, which had been a province deputed by the Mughals from 1794. The rule of N...

The products of a romantic star of the yesteryear!

Now you see all the children of Gemini Ganesan (of four wives, at least) posing gleefully for the camera after coming from different corners of the world to see the ailing father on his deathbed. They seem to found peace with the contributor of their half of their 46 chromosomes. Sure, growing up must have been hell seeing their respective mothers shedding tears, indulgence in unhealthy activities with one of them falling prey to the curse of the black dog, hating the sight of each step sibling, their respective heartaches all because of the evil done by one man who could not put his raging testesterones under check! Perhaps,the flashing lights and his dizzying heights that his career took clouded his judgement. After all, he was only human... Gems of Gemini Ganesan L-R: Dr Revathi Swaminathan, Narayani Ganesan, Dr Kamala Selvaraj, Rekha, Vijaya Chamundeswari and Dr Jaya Shreedhar. ( Abs: Radha Usman Syed, Sathish Kumaar Ganesan) Seeing six of Ge...

Chicken's Invite? (Ajak-ajak ayam)

In the Malay lingo, the phrase 'ajak-ajak ayam' refers to an insincere invitation. Of course, many of us invite for courtesy's sake, but then the invitee may think that the invitation is for real! How does anyone know? Inviters and invitees must be smart enough to take the cue that one party may have gatecrashed with ulterior motives, or the other may not want him to join in the first place! Easily twenty years ago, my family was invited to a toddler's birthday party. As my children were toddlers, too, we were requested to come early so that my kids could run around and play in their big compound. And that the host said she would arrange a series of games for them to enjoy. So there we were in the early evening at a house that resembled very little of one immersed in joy and celebration. Instead, we were greeted by a house devoid of activities and no guests. The host was still out shopping her last-minute list, and her helper was knee-deep in her preparations to ...
