Bowled!
----------
Last Sunday, 10 members of our family were lost at Brookefields.
Glitzy and glassy shopping mall, Fashionistas flock of Girls and their teenage companions, Spi cinemas,
5D shows, extravagant Food courts have swallowed us.  But the “Bowling House” hooked me,
eventually I went into the Bowling alley, purchased a ticket for Rs.200/-(20 shots) assuming to engage all my family members to play.  We witnessed two families already occupying the cluster of seats fitted with monitor to watch score and the proceedings.

We occupied the extreme right alley, and I am the first 'Kegler' have taken an 'apple' out of 20 nos,

swing my arm, and ran towards the foul line, released it, but it was a clear 'Balsa'. The next two apples went through the 'Gutter' and no trace of victory.  The next release was a strike and a Spare.  I was convinced about my athleticism left in me; I invited my family members to proceed.  As usual the controller of the Alley rushed towards me and requested me to continue, since the rule there is only one person is allowed to play a total of 20 apples. My family members cheered me to continue, hence I started to play and learnt "Bridges, Blow a rack, Flatter, Flat ball, Follow through and Lift".

One who plays Bowling, will have an alter mind to install Bowling allies instead of Treadmills. Bowling is an energy drainer in comparison with Tennis and Basket Ball.

But it was difficult to steer back home, since the arms and hip was aching and was stiff, I had to search for a pain killer and muscle relaxant.

We-men’s Day.

The Last line of this would promptly reflect our greeting on Women’s Day.

Recently I paid a visit to my son’s college and wondered about the dress habit of Men’s attire. Men Wear their pant on their groin line, not even, below the hip, for the so called Low Hip. On my re tour my son asked me, why Daddy, you are in silence suddenly.  I told, Oh sonny, I worried perhaps if you ask, “Allow me to wear this Lo-hip for a Week”.

Women, in the college, are perfect in the aspect of dressing. Thank god, I have not seen any figure skating robes, Leggings or sleeveless tops.  I understand the delicacy of parents, allowing their wards, on their own taste.  But parents know the consequences and are prepared to face it. For Instance I would quote the feelings of Praksh Padukone, a conservative person, to my knowledge, he can only be happy about the charisma of his daughter.

I would appeal to both men and women, to dress and behave carefully in public places. Disposing “I am What I am attitude” gives you a classic environment, Happy women’s day.
