Pebbles on My Way Home

By Hiranya Borah

The points given in this book are my experiences while aging to the age of 55. Some points are written in a negative way to spice up my experiences of life. Originally, I thought, I shall give the name of the book as ‘Quotable Quotes of Borah-baba’ as some of friends use this name for my leg-pulling. After going through the manuscript, I find that, these are nothing but my experiences while I have gone through different phases of my life.
You may like some of them, trash some of them and in the extreme case, you may trash all of them.

Preface

The points given in this book are my experiences while aging to the age of 55. Some points are written in a negative way to spice up my experiences of life. Originally, I thought, I shall give the name of the book as ‘Quotable Quotes of Borah-baba’ as some of friends use this name for my leg-pulling. After going through the manuscript, I find that, these are nothing but my experiences while I have gone through different phases of my life.

You may like some of them, trash some of them and in the extreme case, you may trash all of them.

Thanks to my readers and friends and above all my family for their constant support to write something usual and unusual. I love them all.

Thanks to Smashwords for publishing this small book along with my other books.

Pebbles on My Way Home

I found finally, why my classmates (males) became old and my classmates (females) are still young and beautiful! When we were in college, the girls used to wear mekhela-chadar/ sari, now most of them are wearing pant-shirt/ skirt (occasionally churidar etc). But we are still clutching to old pant shirt. The ladies are now with short and smart hair like we used to have in our college days. Now we get rid of those short hairs from our head permanently. It is high time; we have to think something out of box to match our counterpart!

*****************************************************************

For me a kiss carries different meaning for different persons, different relations, different situations, different objectives and different geographic connotations.

When a mother kisses her child, it means love & affection, best wishes, blessings, securities-both physical and emotional at different stages of life and for different occasion.

When a grandmother kisses a grandchild, it means love without boundless, blessings and love for her own child who has given this most beautiful gift. Grandmother never expects anything except few words of love from her grandchild.

When a father kisses his child, it means his love, assurance for physical and financial insurance and protections from outside world. Sometimes a father may not be able to protect his child from a powerful adversary, even then he kisses his child which is nothing but an expression of grief and apology for his own incompetence or incapacity.

When a teacher kisses a student, it means blessing for his prodigy coated with love and affection. He wants that he should be known for his student, while kissing him or her.

When a child kisses his/her father, it is a cheer joy without any explanation. When a very young kid kisses his/her parents, his/her saliva makes the cheeks of parents wet, but that makes the young couple forget all the pains/struggles/ unhappy incidents they have to face during the day. They do not wipe the saliva on their cheeks, but allow them to dry through evaporation only.

For a kiss from a grandson/granddaughter one has to wait for more than fifty years
