SYND PIGMY IN A WOMAN'S MAGAZINE!!!

Its a strange feeling. Unusual and bizarre, and to a great extent quite unlike me, but it is there. And I can't resist sharing it with you. Ironically, it is a sensation of numbness. I write this morning from Jammu and the weather is dull and gloomy. My phone does not work here! Parents do not have internet! I feel cut off, forlorn and alone in this world! Terrible! Man is a social animal, they say! And if the animal in question is as social as I am, there cannot be a bigger punishment! 

Twice upon a time when I still used to wear shorts to school, there would be thin attendances on 'Rainy Days'! And those folks who managed to reach school somehow were sent back to their homes. It used to be so exciting. Coming back from school and immediately eating the contents of tiffin! By the time the clock neared 9:30 AM, it was my routine to plead mummy not to go to office! Then she would say, "Naukri is Naukri!" Being in Jammu, I now realize what she meant!

For those still wondering about my being in Jammu (7640), I have been dispatched on deputation for a week from Ludhiana Main (8150) where I joined only last week after being transferred from Phillaur (8133)! Going places! Well, literally at least!!! 
I have something interesting to share with you. Have a look:

THE SYNDIAN FOOTNOTE

The Pigmy Scheme typifies in many a senses the equity of Brand Syndicate Bank. Wikipedia provides an article about the same. The link is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigmy_Deposit_Scheme
I found this feature and thought of sharing with you. You may well laugh at my reading habits! Well! During my college days at Delhi, frugality was the mantra when it came to buying books. So I will spend hours searching for old editions, bargaining for the best price. This habit has stuck. I automatically gravitate towards roadside vendors selling books of all colours and hues. This edition of 'Bindiya' was purchased from Clock Tower, Ludhiana.
What every reader can do is to take a print of the image uploaded above and prominently display on his/ her premises. In case of any difficulty, the same can be had from me. Why? Simple. It is more convincing if 'others' speak good of 'us'. I again invite the Syndians to consider THE SYNDIAN as a common forum and contribute in form of ideas, articles, images, features and what not! Where else, but at syndashish@gmail.com!

Jai Hind! Jai Synd!
