VD

Sunday, Vesak Day. Time to unwind, spend time with family, read a book, listen to music, play with the cat, stuff like that. Wishing everyone a good long weekend. Happy resting.

Labour

In every economy, labour continues to be the spine of progress. Disrespecting labour is telling them to exercise restraint in an economic downturn for the greater good without toeing the line with them. 

Happy Labour Day, everyone. Your blood, sweat & tears define your country. Onwards!

Good Friday

Every year, I look forward to good Friday. For the long weekend, of course. Taking this opportunity to rest. Yes, rest at home with very little to do but the best opportunity to catch up with music & gear. Typical activities for sickly individuals with limited purchasing power. On that note, I wish you a restful Friday.

Good Friday 2024

A drab long weekend today. Indoors, reading, keeping up with gear maintenance. Nothing fantastic. Hope everyone had a good break from work & some deserving rest.

 

VD '23

Ah... the long weekend. A very good day to keep up with guitars & stuff. Hope everyone is in good health & spending good times with family & friends. It's a good thing guitar stores are still open today so that's where I'm heading to after lunch.

Easter greetings

Ah... the long weekend is here. Wishing everyone a good, restful break. It's gear catch-up day for us, guitar geeks. 

V-day 2022

Another long weekend here. To many of us, it's an opportunity to catch up with Eid visits. To the rest, it's a much deserved day of rest. Take care, everyone, stay safe.

Labouring

It's that time of the year again when we pause to pay tribute to the people who keep the engine of the economy running - workers. In recent times, the media had announced impending price hikes in view of the increasing prices of raw materials so prices of basic amenities, food especially, will see upward revisions everywhere. Are wages keeping up with this? Who determines if the wages should keep abreast with the times? Should it be kept in check at all? These are the issues of labour welfare which are rightfully under the ambit of the union. But the union here has a friendly relationship with the government & always scope their interest with compliance in mind. What's the point of having an organization supposedly looking after the acute interests of workers? You can be friendly but remember who you are looking after.

On that note, here's wishing all workers a deserving day of rest, it's a long weekend for many of us with the festive holiday as the bonus extension. 

Good Friday

Every Good Friday, I will be reminded of this album - Godflesh's Streetcleaner. Mind you, there are absolutely no similarities between the album content & today's religious observance.  The images are coincidental. To the rest of us with no religious observance today, have a good long weekend & a deserving rest.
