Our La La Land
In our La La Land life was a forever musical. From Blues to Rock and from Country to Jazz all played with unending reckless regularity. We had surrendered to strings, drums, and aerophones. These were the days of Travoltas, Jacksons, and Tina Turners performing on our Jangpura terrace. In a leather jacket and boots here is my stylish brother JR with me dragging my Kolhapuris. Thanks for posting this picture brother. It is a lovely day here in India let’s break a leg.
Victorian Letter Box
The Coronation of Britain’s King Charles III and Camila the Queen consort is scheduled for 6 May 2023 at Westminster Abbey. While their procession will depart from Buckingham Palace and many ceremonial objects have been placed enroute, here in Delhi India Post has pulled out one of the last few surviving Victorian Crown Letter Boxes (aka Pillar Box, Victorian Letter Box) and placed it outside the Philately Bureau in the main post office at Parliament Street, Delhi. These letter boxes were first installed in India in 1856 and were in use till late 1960s. The Crown atop this particular letter box is not complete as both – the round Monde and the Cross – placed atop the four arches are missing. There are only seven or eight of these kind left in India. These antique letter boxes can still be seen in Kasauli, Shimla, Mussoorie, Darjeeling and one in Taj Hotel in Bangalore. India Post had also issued a Rs 5 stamp on his letter box in the year 2005 (inset bottom left). This letter box is also called Suttie Box after the name of its manufacturer Suttie & Co., Scotland. By the way, France was the first country in the world to have introduced roadside letter boxes (1655) followed by Germany and Belgium. This picture was taken by me on 28th April 2023.
In the paradise
In the paradise Kingfishers grieve
for drying Dal and dying Chinars
On a Shikara a mother wails for her long-lost son
Like frail old men the Zabarwans await death
A rabid recruit fires the gun to kill time.

In praise of Irrfan Khan
On the India theatrical release of the film The Song of Scorpions, April 28, 2023.
Two of Sunny’s interviews quoted in the press.
“Irrfan is one of my most favourite actors… One day we went on a bike ride together on the sand dunes, something I will never forget. He was a poet at heart. It is a dream for an actor to work with someone like him,” Shashank noted.
Shashank not only looks up to Irrfan in the movie but also in real life. He shared, “Irrfan is one of my most favourite actors. It was a wonderful experience, to spend time with him on the sand dunes and learn from him. He is a very gentle, kind soul. From what I gathered during the limited time with me is, he loved gulkand ka halwa, and flying kites. One day we went on a bike ride together on the sand dunes, something I will never forget. He was a poet at heart. It’s a dream for an actor to work with someone like him.” – The Hindustan Times
The latest sensation, Shashank Arora, is fine yet again, and that’s no surprise. He gets into the skin of the character, and it’s not the first time I’m saying this.
