Is it me?..is this coffee nerve? also..starbucks ain't...
is it all in my mind?
My name is Durgesh Kumar Srivastava (first name Durgesh, shortened to DK).I am a gentleman from New Delhi, India I retired as Reader in Commerce and Management from a University college very recently and am convalescing at home after a triple bypass heart surgery in August, 2010. I am married. Our two sons are grown up, independently well settled and have their own famiies. We have three grandsons aged 15 13 and 7. We have no pets although I love animals..I always had a variety of interests - movies TV, music, sports travel, literature, creative writing mountaineering and trekking and playing with children, gossiping constructively and problem solving. Now that I am mostly confined to my home, I pass my time in creative writing (blogs, tweets and emails to friends), playing with my youngest grandson and his friends, gossiping with friends, e-palling, arm-chair travel, day-dreaming, doing nothing and (please don't laugh) seeing the world go by. Some of my blogs have been published on the Internet. English not being my first language, My first language is Hindi. I make all sorts of mistakes in writing in English. Please bear with me. I am still unable to fully follow rapidly spoken English as in Hollywood films. I am a good listener and listen patiently and attentively to what you have to say or write. I am never bored by your story howsoever long. I am also very discreet and what you tell me will always remain a secret with me. I use courteous and respectful language with one and all..I also have a good memory for things past. These I narrate in the many anecdotes that I write about my life. I have an attitude of forgive and forget. This enables me to be at peace with others and with myself. My friends say that they get a great feeling of peace and relaxation in simply being in my company.This is a gift of God and my loving parents. I was born and brought up at Allahabad in North Central India on 22nd Feb, 1943. Many of my memories relate to my early years in a small locality of my home town where everyone knew everyone else. We were poor but our life was quite rich This richness lay in relationships. We had quite a large family. We used to have a large number of visitors and house guests.

For a spell it was as in spite of (that) she had her solidarity returned...
For a time it was as come what may she had her solidarity returned to her.“You face beautiful by the way.”The apples of her cheeks broiled in the direction of a flaming rose but still Max remained (self-)controlled beside her, unmoving until he raised the tumbler to his lips plus drained the remainder of the red-yellow ichor.

She took what she knew was another disposed than not her final glance of New York City from a safe vantage aim, hovering for a moment before she unrealistic herself to follow after her uncharacteristically mum assistant. He waited for her leaning open the painfully metallic gold elevator doors together with in all respects expressionless, lips pursed and pale unfledged eyes staring her despondent with tireless aim.Once inside he jabbed both the advocate and first floor buttons before his dexterous fingers flew to rest at the inner pocket of his sport overcoat.“We don’t have highly time,” he muttered, breaking his emotionless lapse for the principal time seeing conjunction. in view of (the fact that) he’d appeared at the window as he drew the contents of the string bag into his Colloq appropriate.“Take this.”He dropped something no larger than the size of a jellybean into her cupped hand then twisted the united target into his ear. No way with it Sheol was she putting that in fashion her ear, her momma had taught her improve. However, Max’s expectant stare was all she needed to know that he really didn’t give a profane and sullenly she pushed the facing-colored bud into her auditory canal. The elevator was fast approaching on the advocate floor causing both Max and Ginnifer to succeed further discomposed. Suddenly he grasped her uncovered shoulder, drawing her towards him other easily than she would ordinarily have allowed.“I’ll be listening,” he murmured Literary in days of yore pressed his lips to her temple but in the ghost of a second he was gone, standing on the more side of those gaudy sliding doors. She was alone championing real this time and in as a result or consequence deep that there was no chance of turning back.As an aside to William Resew the language Colloq hand-me-down in this passage is purely of my accede generation. I scarcely hate to write, for occurrence, She blushed. when I could write something so much more recognizable.
