November 2024 posts






The world has rebound back to normal, the war in the Ukraine continues,  the dastardly attack by HAMAS in the West Bank on Yom Kippur Day is a repeat of the 1973 actions in the middle east, however a more cruel turn of events. Its a year now Israel has moved in with equal ferocity and has used technology to the hilt to take down HAMAS and Hezbolla Leaders the fighting still moves on with the war spreading to Lebanon and Iran taking direct missile hits and getting an equally ferocious response from Israel, we would need to wait and watch. The economy across the world limps along.... The USA is now in the process of voting for its next president, is it going to be Kamala Harris or Donald Trump, the world watches. Rishi Sunak now gives up his post as eader of the opposition in the UK.
where are our regular Bloggers we hope to have more Stanite Bloggers logging in. . With Children's day around, and winters setting in, hopefully our bloggers would be in their homes and would access their blogs. The western world sets their clocks forward by an hour

October 2024 Blogs




We begin October 2024 with monsoons withdrawing gradually from the country with mixed results, the north has had more than the regular share of the rains and parts limping back after devastation due to landslides and floods, the south does have a deficit of rains but has had its share of devastation and floods, Wayanad had been badly hit and now on the path to recovery, Coonoor has not been spared, the landslides have claimed many lives including that of an Alumni's wife.

Alumni Bloggers our friends in the Western and Southern Hemisphere are about to set their clocks behind by an hour, here goes our clocking for the next innings...Winter is just going to show her cold fingers around, skies and sledges and the snow clearing equipment get waxed and oiled, we wait for hidden stories and Yarns of yesteryears .
