Power of Rupee

In my last posting which luckily or unluckily happen to my first one also, I mentioned about Rs 2.00 and how much that is worth. Talking about worth I had often heard my grandparents and parents say how much you could get in 1 Re in their era. My mom used to tell me before her marriage she used to drink coke for 4 Anna or 25 piase. Once I asked my mom how is 25 paise equal to 4 anna and how much was 1 Anna as 25 was not divisible by 4. Thru her I came to know that earlier 1 Re did not have 100 paise, rather it had 64 paise which was equal to 16 anna. So 1 Anna was equal to 4 paise. So I wanted to know when did the change from 1 Re = 64 paise to 1 Re = 100 paise happen. Here are some interesting facts about our own currency Rupee that I gathered. India introduced new coinage post independence on 15 Aug 1950 while Pakistan was much quicker as they introduced new coins in 1948 and currency bills in 1949. Have you heard the dialog "Mein khoon pasinaa baha ke tumhari pie pie chuka dong...

The curse of Education?

I came across  http://qz.com/489579/a-long-and-painful-goodbye-to-my-dying-grandparents/ The story in these pics has become a common story across India. Look at any community you will see elderly parents and grand parents living alone. They worked hard to give their kids the best education they possibly could. The whole generation sacrificed their present so that future of theirs kids could be bright. They pushed and kids also worked hard, got educated in good colleges. Some secured jobs in cities far away from home town, other moved abroad and the parents/grand parents were happy. Their kids were enjoying success. Time passed by. Parents and Grandparents  started retiring. Age started catching up. They were left with eternal dilemma whether to move with kids or stay at home town. What would they do whole day. No one knows them in new place. Kids coming back once a year becomes the event that they wait for. http://indiatogether.org/plight-of-retired-aged-people-livin...

One Year of Parenthood

It is 14 May 2007 and it is 12:11 A.M and it is One full year of Parenthood. Today Abhimanyu has turned One. The first year of Parenthood has been a amazing experience. In this one year Abhimanyu has morphed from a small infant who depended so much on us to a cute little child who now walks on his own and who speaks a few words. Today as the clock was slowing moving towards 12:00 there was strange feeling in my heart, I was feeling weak. This appeared strange to me, My brain was saying why am I feeling weak now when I did not feel weak when he was born, when I did not feel weak when he fell from the bed first time or when he was ill and suffering from ear infection. But heart does not listen to logic. I am very happy but along with happiness there is this strange feeling of weakness. How has this one year changed me. Has it changed my thinking, my principles or my attitude towards life? I will think about these in next few days and compare myself from now with myself from 1 year ba...
