Musings on a chilly, misty January morning


Musings are usually about the 'Muse' or Poetry 

But Aaj Mood Nahi Hai.


What's In and and what's Out after 2020

By the way, Whatsapp is definitely Out


The year began with Trump visit to India in February 

By 2021 the first lesson was Hugs were Out (sorry Kapil)

For Covid,and for the rest of the world

But Namaste was In, 

So was Walekum Salaam and Sat Sri Akal

But hand shakes were out, unless with gloves

And of course Burkas,Veils or face-masks were in 


Pick pocketing was Out (transport banned,digitisation)

But bank frauds were In(digitisation only adds sophistication)


Suicides were Out( unless with a suicide note)

Murders were In

More interesting if accompanied with Rapes


And now at the dawn of 2021-


'Kabool hai' Kabool Hai' is Out

And Swayamvar is In


Do remember-

Whether to take the vaccine or not is your choice

Even in India 

One third of America has refused to get vaccinated

The various vaccines options are officially called 'candidates'

You have the choice to accept one candidate or reject all


Choices are few as normal

But make full them using eyes,ears and brains.
