An email that felt good to read…

I received the following email from another member of the cycling egroup that I belong to:

I’m Charles Hayward and I had a large stroke on Easter Sunday of this year. Luckily, I was able to recover with minimal residual impact which according to my doctors is attributable to being relatively fit.My fitness (at least recently) is because I cycle, so in recognition of World Stroke Day (which is 29th Oct actually) I wanted to ask people to join with me in lauding the benefits of cycling.

My idea was for a group ride starting from Decathlon-Sarjapura-
Chitratirupathi-Hope Farm-Varthur-Decathlon. It should be around 50+ kilometers and is a nice ride out into the country/villages.

I would love for a good turnout of folks as it’s a day near and dear to my heart. I’m open to suggestions for other routes and how to handle (faster/slower/kids etc..) riders of different capabilities.

The point is to get out and ride it can truly make the difference
between life and death.

Only part of the process can be done online, and I did it. I went to Parivahan Sewa at https://parivahan.gov.in/parivahan/ and under "Online Services", clicked on "Driving Licence Related Services". I got this page: https://sarathi.parivahan.gov.in/sarathiservice9/stateSelection.do I selected my state (Karnataka). Under "Driving Licence" on the left hand side, I clicked on "Services on Driving Licence (Renewal/Duplicate/Aedl/Others)" I found the following…

Nature Feature: A dinner invitation

by August 10, 2019 Deepa's Jottings, Society

"Will you walk into my parlour?" Said the spider to the fly. "I've spread a carpet of silk and diamonds! Walk in, and don't be shy! Do come along, for I grow thinner... I've LOVE to have you, ahem, for dinner!" Jokes apart, Funnel Web Spiders also called Wolf Spiders, are named because of the funnel-like web they weave...and the second name is given because they are ferocious predators. They build a flat sheet of nonsticky web with a funnel-shaped retreat to one side or occasionally in the middle, depending on the situation and species. The typical hunting mode is…
