NO ONION MONTH
The Japanese have a tradition wherein for sometime they stop consuming anything that has witnessed an unprecedented price hike.
This leads to a fall in the prices of that commodity.
We should also either completely stop or minimise consuming onions just for a month or 15 days.
This will have a demoralising effect on the hoarders of onions.
Not only that, it will also bring down their prices within one week or ten days.
It's a matter of Demand and Supply!
Spread the word to as many people as you can. Let's see if this small initiative of yours can help bring down the prices of onions.

An English Translation Of A Tamil Onion Story
An onion, potato and tomato went to the beach. Potato went too far in and drowned.
While returning home, with tears in their eyes on the loss of their friend, the tomato was run over.
Now only the onion was left with tears and God, happy with his devotion, gave him the 'boon' that anybody present when onion is killed, will also cry.
That explains one part.
Soon people started to heat the onion before cutting and did away with tears.
God got angry and said that in future, people will cry even when they buy onions.
And that, friends, is why onion prices are high.

Do you know that a simple "hello" can be a sweet one?
I received one recently from my friend, in a mail she sent to me. Here's what she wrote :
H = How are you?
E = Everything all right?
L = Like to hear from you.
L = Love to see you soon!
O = Obviously, I miss you.....
So, HELLO!
It has made me smile every time I say hello since then......

How many of these did you know....?
(a) Babina. British Army Base in Asia.
(b) Mhow. Military Headquarters of War.
(c) Ambala. Army Maintenance Base and Logistics Area.
(d) The Mall. The Military Administrators Living Line.
(e) Mess. Members of Equal Social Status.
(f) Yo L camp. Young Officers Leave camp. As young British officers used to spend their
leave instead of going to Goddamn sick place called London.
Tailpiece.
Today is 'Thrikkarthika'. Ramesh was the first one to knock at the door, to hand over the 21 earthenware lamps. Had gone to the town to buy grocery and fruits. The gas was delivered by lunch time exactly, 24 hrs after Lekha had booked for the replenishment! The lamps were lit up in the evening, 15' after sunset! 'The Quarterdeck', with the lamps lit, looked nice.
