  How Vaibhav Karmarkar recovered from alcoholism [final] The Good Samaritan Reminiscing over the dark and murky days of his past, Vaibhav says, “Every dark cloud has a silver lining. Yes, I did have an agonized past which I deeply regret, but my experience with alcohol made me understand the plight other alcoholics go through. That’s greatly helped me in my mission to enable them to stop drinking. I know that they need to be heard with love and affection, require empathy.” Besides befriending alcoholics at bars to help them, he informs us that he puts up placards in various parts of the city urging alcoholics who wish to recover to take a trip to Neelkanteshwar   Temple in Pune. He claims that he’s taken numerous people to this Pune institute in packed buses. He avers that like him, many of those he has taken to this city to chant this oath, have been benefitted. Taking a cue from Vaibhav’s story, all we can say is that you shouldn’t succumb to peer pressure to start drinking.

  Morning Has Broken Lyricist Eleanor Farjeon Morning has broken like the first morning Blackbird has spoken like the first bird Praise for the singing, praise for the morning Praise for them springing fresh from the world Sweet the rains new fall, sunlit from Heaven Like the first dewfall on the first grass Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden Sprung in completeness where His feet pass Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning Born of the one light, Eden saw play Praise with elation, praise every morning God's recreation of the new day Morning is the best time of the day not just to be in the proximity of greenery but on the very lap of nature. It’s soothing to walk barefoot on the lawn drenched with winter dew. It’s lovely to see flowers and leaves fluttering in dawn’s soft breeze. How refreshing it is to inhale the fragrance of the first flower of the morning and to see night flowers on the carpet of grass! Come spring and bees, butterflies an

  Haunted dustbin! As Halloween is around the corner, it’s an apt time to share the paranormal activities in my home. The kitchen trash bin rattles intermittently. The spirit meddles with the dirty utensils in the sink. There are no rats or cockroaches in the rubbish. There are hard knocks on the outer wall of the washing machine. We do laundry every four days. The mucky phantom impatient of taking a bath goes to the washroom and shakes the buckets. #halloween, #dustbin, #kitchen, #cutlerycrockery, #laundry, #washingmachine, #ghostinthemachine, #dustbinghost, #paranormal, #haunteddustbin, #funnyghoststories, #spookytales, #halloween2021, #halloweeneveryday, #halloweenspirit, #halloweentime, #halloweenlife, #halloweenlover, #halloweenvibes, #halloweenseason, #halloweeniscoming, #halloweenfun, #ghosttakesabath, #funnymoments, #humourouslyyours, #humourousinterpretation, #humouroushorror, #spookyjokes, #jokeoftheday, #jokestagram   https://pixabay.com/photos/waste-sorting-garbage-

  Unfinished dream I had a funny dream about a man’s religious wife. She has organised a satsang with the most pious women and a mataji. I see that the Hardy Boys and Chet are standing outside their room to investigate the case. Something highly suspicious is going on inside. However, they’re not entering. This is a motel and we are all living there. I tell Frank and Joe Hardy and Chet that I’ll be their spy. I had a crush on Frank Hardy. Though Nancy Drew books were in the collection, I borrowed only Hardy Boys ones. I lied to my family that Nancy Drew bestsellers weren’t available at our bibliotheca. I wasn’t allowed to look or talk to boys. Liking male fictional characters in stories was also a cognizable offence in our joint family. I entered to find women squatting on the floor in gaudy silk clothes, gemstones and heavy jewellery. They looked like caricatures of ‘good’ women from Hindi soaps. They were singing bhajans off-tune. The mataji was in a trance as she was doing pre
