To Say or Not to Say

“To Say or Not to Say”. This is neither a scene from The Hamlet, nor am I Shakespeare. Though few in number, some WhatsApp forwards have helped us spend time meaningfully. When I say ‘few’, this may also indicate the kind of company I keep. LOL! One such forward read “Have you ever wondered which

Ray-Ban Aviator Green

Remember the movie Top Gun of the eighties. I had joined the Indian Air Force and we had just finished training. While Tom Cruise and his style, some of us did pick up with ease, these glasses were a WOW. While the girls in the neighbourhood fell for Tom Cruise, we boys fell for the
