Jagat-Daksha

| Jagat-Daksha |
My brother, Jagat and his wife, Daksha spent about twelve days with us. It was a great comfort for me. I hope it was likewise for them. I took their individual pictures and attempted to merge them with the help of Photoshop.
They are loving and are loved intensely.

Another Joke
For those who don't watch the show, Downton Abbey, the lord of the mansion is discussing this question with his very prim and proper butler.
His Lordship was in the study at Downton Abbey when the butler approached and coughed discreetly.
"May I ask you a question my lord?"
"Go ahead Carson " said his lordship.
"I am doing the crossword in The Times and I have found a word I am not too clear on."
"What word is that?" said his lordship.
"Aplomb", my lord.
"Now that's a difficult one to explain. I would say it is self assurance or complete composure."
"Thank you, my lord, but I'm still a little confused."
"Let me give you an example to make it clearer. Do you remember a few months ago the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrived to spend a weekend with us?"
"I remember the occasion very well, my lord. It gave the staff and myself much pleasure to look after them."
"Also", continued the Earl of Grantham, "do you remember Will plucked a rose for Kate in the rose garden?"
"I was present on that occasion, my lord, ministering to their needs." "While plucking the rose a thorn embedded itself in his thumb very deeply."
Carson replied, "I witnessed the incident, my lord, and saw the Duchess herself remove the thorn and bandaged his thumb with her own dainty handkerchief."
"That evening the prick on his thumb was so sore, Kate had to cut it up even though it was extremely tender."
"Yes, my lord, I did see everything that transpired that evening."
"The next morning while you were pouring coffee for Her Ladyship, Kate inquired of Will with a loud voice, 'Darling does your prick still throb?'" And you, Carson, did not spill one drop of coffee! Now that is aplomb!"
A Joke
Last month, a world-wide telephone survey was conducted by the UN. The only question asked was:- "Would you please give your honest opinion about possible solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world?"
*The survey was a complete failure because:*
In Eastern Europe they didn't know what "honest" meant.
In Western Europe they didn't know what "shortage" meant.
In Africa they didn't know what "food" meant.
In China they didn't know what "opinion" meant.
In the Middle East they didn't know what "solution" meant.
In South America they didn't know what "please" meant.
In the USA they didn't know what "the rest of the world" meant.
And in Australia, New Zealand and Britain everyone hung up as soon as they heard the Indian accent.

Vertigo-Rotating SkyScraper
Vertigo anyone?!
Among many I chose this video to post for its accompaniment of 'Blue Danube'. I have associated the music with one of my favorite movies, '2001-A Space Odyssey', an expanse of space; not unlike Arabian ocean on which this perhaps, stands.
