...on the River Gomti

The once notorious Jiamao village, 100m from Martinpurwa, now has grown and stretched right to the river. Last week I'd gone to a home there to attend a funeral so while inspecting some of the construction work taking place on the embankment I took a few pics.
Feb 25, 2011 almost one year after the boat pic was taken, same spot across the river. Note how close that bank has come. There is heavy work taking place the other side. Let's wait and watch...

Update: A ravaged cock!

Namita Chandra is an Old Martinian who has shown some interest in my blog. She has been a blogger long before I started. The only other person to register a comment is Johnny Cline. I guess I've not been keeping up with my blog nor have I been responding to letters so John has taken a break as well. Charlie has kept me in touch with the condition of his cock ( pic attached) and his duck (not shown for obvious reasons) and David Sealey has taken a holiday, hopefully a short one.
 
 
 

The link to Namita's blog is given above

Mr Agnihotri with Kochin Wu




Today I read Hindi pretty well.Thanks to Agni. It will sound strange to lots of people seeing that I was born and bred in UP. However, the how and why of it is a long story but the fact that I've progressed so much in the last three years, at an advanced age at that, is because of late Mr Agnihotri. Agni as he was called by his colleagues and the boys was a great master. I don't think it would be wrong if I said he was eccentric in a admirable way. He was humorous, was a natty dresser and rode a bicycle those days that suited his lanky frame. People in suits and ties even rode bicycles. I was surprised, and happy, when I heard some years later that he had married and had kids. His son is a master in the Mart.
