March 2011 blogs

Feb 2006 was when we started. Feb 2011 was a repeat of 2010, saw the least number of comments. Time takes its toll on everything. March is a cruel month in India because of the rising temperature, water shortage, and year ending financial operations. Pranabda has also not sprung any surprises this budget.

FEBRUARY

This is the 112th post of StanesSaunter. One of these days we may get a msg. from Google informing us that we rate high on the longevity scale. Until then let us keep commenting. Much of our personal triumphs and disasters are shared here. What better audience can encourage us to treat both imposters just the same?

Wishing you all a Very happy and prosperous 2011

What can be said in New Year rhymes, That's not been said a thousand times?
As we swiftly glide toward the end of 2010,
Many of us in the photosphere turn our thoughts to the changes we wish would
come true in the New Year ahead.
In this regard, we would like to make one wish that no matter what future
bring to us but lets create a beautiful and productive world around us.
May god cherish each one of us and help us to get our desired goals in life
with good health .

Wish you and your Family a Happy & Prosperous NEW YEAR 2011 !!!!!

November 2010

there's blogger young and blogger old
in tropical climes and canada cold
some so regular as if on cue
we've got bloggers in our fighting force
in banking law and at the bourse
church affairs and education too
but where the hell is blogger new

all our blogger girls and blogger boys
(even serial george and ms christine poise)
have reached our proverbial waterloo
finding needle-in-the-haystack blogger new

nothing seems to be far more greater
than the years spent in the alma mater
we bloggers will do what bloggers do
with or without the elusive new
(sorry for the substitution sunu)

August 2010- Stanes Blog looks for Alumini Attendance

AUGUST




The Indian Independence Day Month is around, Autumn sets her brown eyes on the world, lets start August Comments Here

July indicated that we are all not serious about heaven and hell its presence and absence. Consensus appeared to be "live and let live". It also showed that we are a repository of great knowledge but refused to share and the blog has a paltry attendance of 30 Posts. With Cloud computing being the buzz these days, hope our alumini do not consign our blog into the clouds. Let us tap into it and maybe a tip here or a suggestion there will give us a $ billionaire.

APRIL

APRIL FOOL GO TO SCHOOL,
TELL YOUR TEACHER, THAT YOU'RE A BIG FAT FOOL.

There was no political correctness in the 60's. The term "big-fat" never existed then. A spade was called a spade! Those who had front teeth angled outwards (excessive overbite) were called "Coxy"! Timid guys were called "Pusky"! Stingy guys were called "Marwadi Kanjuse!(My apologies to the Marwadi community). Girlish guys were called Pottais!(My apologies to the girls). My elder brother who was rather plump, was called "Fatty Bumbalatti"! Those who carried tales to teachers were called "sneakers"! Our chairman Mr. Enwright was called "Murclick"!Perhaps some of you can add some more derogatory terms that were in use.

MARCH 2010

Feb 2006 was when we started. Feb 2010 saw the least number of comments. Time takes its toll on everything. By commenting now and then, we, at least know that the others are keeping in fine fettle, so a purpose is being served. Shiva must the preoccupied elsewhere because otherwise he is very prompt in updating the month. March is a cruel month in India because of the rising temperature, water shortage, and year ending financial operations.

Wishing You all a very Happy and prosperous new Year and a Great 2010

What can be said in New Year rhymes, That's not been said a thousand times?The new years come, the old years go, We know we dream, we dream we know.We rise up laughing with the light, We lie down weeping with the night.We hug the world until it stings, We curse it then and sigh for wings.We live, we love, we woo, we wed, We wreathe our prides, we sheet our dead.We laugh, we weep, we hope, we fear, And that's the burden of a year.
...Ella Wheeler Wilcox
