Sean Connery - last days
(one of my most fav actors)
In 2020, Sean Connery spent most of his time in the Bahamas, away from the noise of the industry he had long since left behind. Living in a peaceful estate on New Providence Island, he preferred long walks by the sea, slow breakfasts in the garden, and classical music in the evening. His health had been declining steadily since 2017, when early signs of memory loss and limited mobility began to affect his independence. Yet, even as age took hold, Connery remained composed and dignified, choosing silence over struggle in public.

Confession
After my first divorce, I was freaking out and was psychologically in a hurry to marry again.
Family friends introduced us to each other. He was a pretty average desi guy with a mediocre income. He was married once before to an Afro-American girl and had one daughter whom he met every weekend. I never asked, but I assume he married her for a Green Card.
Very soon after our marriage, I realized I couldn't live with this generic desi person! All of my evils came out. I didn't have any justification to call off the marriage. What I did was start behaving nasty to his mother. As I planned and suspected, he could not take my (nastiest of) nasty behavior with his mother. He divorced me! My plan worked.
But till today, I was unable to forgive myself. Once all evils lose suppression, a human can do anything - like what I did to his poor simple desi mother in everyday matters of life.
I don't even wish an enemy to put bare all evils when relationships are not working. It becomes very satanic.

Khuda ki lathi (aik aur baat)
Do batain to sab batate hain ke:
Khuda ki lathi be awaz hai
aur
Khuda ka haan der hai, andher nahi
Magar ye batana aksar bhool jaate hain ke: Khuda ki lathi us jagah paRti (strike) hai, jahan sab se ziyada takleef ho - izzat, shuarat, taqat, maal, makan, aulad, fun (skill), ilm ya kuch aur - jis cheez per insaan ko naaz ho wahi cheez cheen li jaati hai

Two philosophies on food in fridge
(My son was visiting from college)
"Dad, your fridge is always empty?"
"Yes, my son, I don't like to hoard food more than it's needed."
"If you ask Faraya Aani (aunt), she thinks the stuffed-packed fridge gives you a sense of being blessed by the Almighty, so don't complain about other things in life."
"I guess, we both are right!"

Key to spousal relationship
"What do you think, what you need as the key for spousal relationship?"
"Respect or love?"
"Those may be right answers at lower level, but what makes a relationship really meaningful and successful is to hold difficult conversation when situation arise with kids, values, relatives, in-laws, finances, porn, attention, nagging, perceived cheating and others."

Which fight to pick
I have learned in life that one of the biggest skill you need in life to learn which fights to pick and which fights to let go. You can't fight all battles. Choose wisely.

Taste of Death
(A text from a friend)
As you know, I am not a very religious person, and as usual I got the news of death of someone on one of my WhatsApp group. Someone commented with the Quranic ayat:

Why Piku was a different move
Piku was a 2015 Indian movie with mega stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Irfan Khan and Deepika Padukone.
The reason I think everyone should watch this movie as it shows that love doesn't need to be an extravaganza show. It comes from every day's life gestures - so subtle sometimes - that you may even miss it!
You might have to watch this movie twice to understand those subtle gestures and dialogues.
Naturally only Irrfan can do it!!!!

Unmarked Death
It took me a long time to realized the burden of last few lines of Leo Tolstoy's Death of Ivan Ilyich
And suddenly it became clear to him that what was tormenting him and would not be resolved was suddenly all resolved at Ollce, on two sides, on ten sides, on all sides. He was sorry for them, he had to act so that it was not painful for them. To deliver them and deliver himself from these sufferings. "How good and how simple," he thought.Tuesday, January 21, 2025
How many intellectual discussions end - without much to avail
(As described by a close friend)
I was explaining to a few friends of mine that this morbid fascination with death and the afterlife is unnecessary but oh how we love to dwell on it. Sadly, it’s so unnecessary because consciousness arises from brain activity and ends with brain death. Once our brain neurons finally die, our entire perspective about life or the afterlife quickly disappear, leaving nothingness, blackness… just like before birth we had zero recollection about our existence. In fact our brains are joke at birth, and it takes years to fully develop. 18 years on average!!!
