9 - lovely
ReplyDelete12- can totally relate just after 1 kid. can imagine with 2:)
15 - that's a good perspective :)
17 - wow..how romantic :)
27 - Totally with you. Its indeed a mystery how we become "responsible" for the task which was never ours in the first place
36 - This one is almost always the same for most of us, isnt it ? :) Such pleasure that they give us :)
38 - That's a good one. But the bureaucrats are almost like politicians these days and i guess they will also be biased :(. But that's a separate topic altogether
Thanks Ma'am. I'm reading Ramachandra Guha's India after Gandhi and am currently in circa 1975 when Emergency was declared by another Mrs.Gandhi. Industrialists say that this period was the Most Productive period for India ever! can you believe that!
