Barsaat in the times of battery of apps
It's that time of year again when the rainy season is at the doorstep and one is not sure whether it's going to rain cats and dogs, or whether one has saved enough for the rainy day. In these times of artificial rain, a la Dubai's fake cloud fiasco, not sure whether we should be saving for a rainy day or saving for a fake rainy day. (Instagram/Soumarup Ghosh) Come monsoon, and these are just some of the rain idioms one ends up pondering about. How digital life has perhaps even rendered redundant some monsoon proverbs and rain ditties. How technology has even transformed the ways in which we get rain ready. In these times of artificial rain, a la Dubai's fake cloud fiasco, not sure whether we should be saving for a rainy day or saving for a fake rainy day. Or take 'My Fair Lady's' fabled rain ditty. Were Hollywood's late diva Audrey Hepburn to do an Eliza Doolittle in this digital era, she may have had to croon tweaked lyrics: 'The fake rain in Bahrain, stays mainly in the plain...' Rain readiness As for being rain ready, in pre-digital times, it entailed a huge flurry of preparations. The rainy season saw people bustling about busy to bring on the three S's : Stocking. Sealing. Saving. Stocking: It entailed stocking up on provisions lest the Rain God and team decided to play a Test match up in the clouds rather than a sort of quick half-day IPL. The stocking meant piling up mostly daily provisions --- dabbalroti to doodh, eggs to veggies and fruits --- lest the doodhwallah and pheriwallahs play truant in the Test match staged by the Rain God's franchise. Since the cup cakes and sweet buns that the dabbalroti-wallah ferried were a daily staple come rain or shine, they too were very much part of the monsoon stockpile building. Digital life has changed all that, even our exertions to be rain ready. No worry now of a dabbalroti-wallah not turning up, he has as it is been delivered a death-knell. No tension now of a doodhwallah, with clanking and clanging milk cans, playing truant in the barsaat. Blinkit, BB Now, Instamart & Co hain naa. Even on days when it's raining cats and dogs, Digital India is generally assured of the bloke with the brown paper bag banging the doorbell. Unless the roads are clogged like a heart patient's arteries or Trump's grey cells. Sealing: Rain readiness spelt all kinds of sealing and screening. Cracked windows, leaking crevices and nooks needed to be sealed. A major concern for booklovers of yore was how to protect shelves and cupboards, chock-a-block with tomes and texts, from dampness. Damp shelves or dripping roofs could ruin literature of a lifetime. Stumbling upon patches of mouldy greenishness while thumbing through a treasured tome are a dreaded sight for a book collector. Thus, earlier days would see manual exercises of rain-proofing the walls of damp book cupboards or bookshelves. The weapons of protection would be anything handy -- mammoth plastic sheets culled from discarded atta bags to even rolls and rolls of aluminium foil. Ditto for clothes closets housing treasured silks and delicate chiffons. Exquisite brocades and Banarsis needed to be stowed away in potli bags or damp-proof stout steel trunks, with silica gel pouches. Digital life has changed all that, too. Rain-ready your home now, just at the tap of an app. Urban Company, UrbanRoof, and dehumidifier contraptions hain naa. Saving: Strange how with time, phrases and idioms sometimes grow up to acquire more literal meanings, than the original figurative connotations. Take the phrase 'to save for a rainy day'. Given the contemporary scenario, it may now carry more a literal meaning. Saving for a rainy day may entail investing in insurance against false ceiling collapses in chandeliered condos, where Digital India's mushrooming builder brands parked material as cheap as a Sarojini Nagar faux vanity kit. Saving for a rainy day may now literally mean buying life jackets and personal customised speedboats, sporting 24x7 wi-fi, to survive flooded flyovers, swimming skyrises and clogged condos in metropolises or millennium cities such as Gurugram. This should suffice to give a drift of things, without flooding the reader with more monsoon imagery. The curious case of 'A Walk In The Faux Clouds'. chetnakeer@

Ibrahim Ali Khan Hangs Out With Saif Ali Khan, Taimur Plays Cricket With Jeh In Family Vacation Pics
Last Updated: Saif Ali Khan vacations with Kareena Kapoor and sons Ibrahim Ali Khan, Taimur Ali Khan and Jeh after Sunjay Kapur's death and knife attack. Bollywood royalty Saif Ali Khan is soaking in some much-needed family time. The actor is currently on a serene vacation with wife Kareena Kapoor Khan and their sons — Taimur Ali Khan and Jehangir (Jeh) Ali Khan. Joining them on the trip is Saif's son from his first marriage with former actress Amrita Singh, Ibrahim Ali Khan. Taking to Instagram, Ibrahim shared a heartwarming glimpse from their day out at the park, calling it a 'park day." The carousel of photos includes a relaxed moment with Saif and all three of his sons — Ibrahim, Taimur, and Jeh — sitting together on a fallen log, sharing smiles and brotherly warmth. Another candid shot shows little Taimur enthusiastically bowling to younger brother Jeh, who stands ready with a bat in hand, proving that cricket runs deep in the Khan household. Fans were quick to flood the post with love, happy to see Saif back on his feet and enjoying precious moments with his blended family. In January this year, Saif Ali Khan was the victim of a shocking knife attack when an armed intruder broke into his Bandra home around 2:30 a.m. The man allegedly entered baby Jeh's room. Saif rushed to intervene and was stabbed six times — including two deep wounds to his back, one dangerously close to his spine. He was immediately taken to Lilavati Hospital by his son Ibrahim, where he underwent emergency surgery to remove the blade and repair spinal fluid damage. The attacker fled but was arrested within days. Saif was discharged five days later after the traumatic episode. Two weeks back, Kapoor family faced an emotional setback when Kareena Kapoor's sister, Karisma Kapoor's ex-husband, Sanjay Kapur, passed away on June 12. Saif Ali Khan and Kareena were seen attending his last rites and the prayer meet held in Delhi, standing by the family during the difficult time. After returning to Mumbai, the couple soon took off for a quiet family holiday, likely seeking some peace and healing after a series of deeply personal events. First Published:
