Junta House is falling down … and I'm heartbroken!
Radhika has been writing since her college days and has contributed short witty articles to magazines and regional English newspapers. She is a humour blogger and has just published her first e-book of humorous short stories. She is a Piscean which puts her in league with Daniel Craig, and others. Like most Pisceans she is amiable, imaginative and a dreamer - that probably explains the Daniel Craig bit. She could go on about herself forever but she prefers her writing to do the talking. LESS ... MORE Junta House is in the news again, for right reasons or wrong, only time will tell. This 59-year-old building, a relic of the post-liberation days of Goa rises like a mammoth monument on the bustling 18th June road, the main arterial road in Panjim, Goa. Back then, the Anglo-American style building was occupied partly by musty government offices and partly by private residences of the semi-elite of Goan society. With 4 huge blocks each with its own manually-operated lift, this iconic building of 6 floors would be pointed out by earnest tourist guides to equally earnest tourists as Goa's tallest and only high-rise. I'm talking about 40 or 50 years ago, mind you. A newspaper report back then declared Junta House, The People's Building as '… the most famed address.' And this famed address, so say recent news reports, is soon to be evacuated and brought down, with the concerned authorities running around in circles singing Junta House is falling down, falling down, falling down! And why does this random piece of information leave me stirred and shaken? Because for the better part of our 25-year stint in Goa, this ionic building happened to be our residential address. With my doctor dad's rise up his professional ladder, we moved bag, baggage and bucket to the 4th floor of the building, in a distinct rise up the social ladder. And today, as I read about 'project demolition' soon to be unleashed on our beloved Junta House, happy childhood memories associated with this building came flooding back, and strangely enough among all the memories, one which stands out is of that morning years ago … a lazy sultry Sunday morning when our entire family set out of the house, dressed in our Sunday best. When we returned an hour later, we stood at the front door and … well, this was the time normally when papa would put his hand into his pocket and come up with the house keys, just like a magician produces a rabbit out of his pocket. But this time, dad came up with nothing, neither house key nor rabbit. He patted himself all over. Nothing. Then he turned to amma – who as if on cue – dived into her bag and spent precious minutes fishing among its contents. Dad looked on impatiently and remarked on the foolishness of women who carried half the household in their bags but not the house key. These golden words however didn't help. Still no keys. We three siblings stood around, shuffling our feet and not being of any use. After some harried discussions, dad sallied forth in search of a carpenter, a house breaker, anybody who would help us get into our blessed home. There was not much hope there. Did I tell you it was a Sunday? The four of us then sat on an old rickety bench outside our front door and the fun, kind of began then. You see, the entire top floor of our building was occupied by a large community hall run by the Swamy Vivekananda Society, where all kinds of events and functions took place. And that Sunday there was a wedding reception up there – resulting in a steady stream of wedding guests clattering up and down the stairs. Every time someone reached our floor, they stopped clattering, gazed at us silently and then clattered off again. If you've ever wondered how the animals in a zoo feel when visitors stop by to gaze at them in their cages, look no further – just ask me! After a futile search which lasted three quarters of an hour dad finally came back minus carpenter and minus house breaker. I told you it was a Sunday! Even for house breakers! Happy ending though, folks. Amma rather belatedly remembered that a spare key had been kept with a friend living across our building, for just such contingencies. With dad muttering annoyed remarks about the failing memory of some women, the brother was dispatched to get the keys and we were finally inside our home. On the 4th floor. Of Junta House. A house which will soon be broken down into a million pieces. And my heart … it breaketh into a million pieces too. Ah well, that's life!

Neptune Retrograde in Pisces: These Zodiac Signs Will Feel Lost and Disconnected
There are retrogrades that simply slow us down, and then there are retrogrades that ask us to stop, feel, and re-evaluate everything we thought was true. Neptune turning retrograde in Pisces on July 5, 2025, at 02:58 AM is one such moment. It doesn't demand instant action, but it will strip away fantasy, force clarity, and leave us staring into the emotional mirror we've been avoiding. Neptune retrograde is not a punishment. It is a wake-up call. It feels subtle, almost invisible on the surface. But beneath, it moves oceans inside you. When Saturn is also in Pisces, as it is now, the pressure to discern truth from illusion becomes almost unbearable. Saturn brings form, boundaries, and karmic lessons; Neptune dissolves, dreams, and deceives. Together in Pisces—the sign of the mystic, the empath, the dreamer—they create a field where spiritual tiredness, emotional fog, and inner disconnection rise like mist from within. While all zodiac signs will feel this retrograde on some level, five signs are most likely to feel spiritually and emotionally adrift during this time. Whether due to Neptune's strong influence in their chart or their natural sensitivity to Piscean waters, these signs will be challenged to find footing in an invisible landscape. But let me be clear: feeling lost is not failure. It is the beginning of conscious realignment. Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20) You are the native sign of both Neptune and Pisces, which makes this transit intensely personal. When Neptune stations retrograde in your sign—and Saturn is watching close by—you will feel like the veil is lifting. The problem is, you may not be ready to see what's underneath. Dreams you've clung to, identities you've worn, or stories you've believed about your spiritual path might dissolve. You may feel disconnected from your usual sources of inspiration, prayer, or even your emotional depth. What to do: This is not the time to escape through fantasy, addictions, or overgiving. Instead, root down into simple rituals: daily journaling, spiritual hygiene, grounding meditations. Let the illusions fade without panic. The clarity you seek isn't gone; it's just emerging slowly. Gemini (May 21 – Jun 20) For Gemini, the emotional heaviness of Neptune retrograde feels suffocating. As a sign ruled by Mercury, you thrive on logic, words, and connections. But Neptune doesn't speak in facts; it speaks in feelings, dreams, and silences. During this retrograde, your mind may race to find explanations, only to find none. Your usual ability to multitask and stay socially plugged in will feel more like noise than nourishment. What to do: Step back. Not everything has to be understood or processed intellectually. Accept that some things will feel "off" without being clearly wrong. Prioritise solitude and unplug from social overstimulation. Let your inner voice rise through the quiet. Virgo (Aug 23 – Sept 22) Virgo, your strength is in order, service, and clarity. Neptune retrograde in your opposite sign, Pisces, creates direct tension in your relationships and your sense of control. You might feel like your efforts are unseen, your love unreciprocated, or your plans constantly shifting. This can leave you feeling disconnected from others and even from your own intuition. What to do: Resist the urge to fix everything, including yourself. This retrograde is teaching you that not all problems are meant to be solved; some are meant to be surrendered. Spend time in nature, create without an agenda, and allow relationships to unfold without managing every detail. Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21) Sagittarius, your eternal optimism may take a hit during Neptune retrograde. Your ruling planet, Jupiter, wants expansion, clarity, and belief. Neptune, however, brings fog, doubt, and quiet internal deconstruction. You may start questioning your purpose, your faith, or your life direction, especially when old beliefs no longer fit. What to do: Don't rush to replace doubt with answers. Instead, explore your inner world. Read poetry, revisit spiritual texts, or travel inward through reflection. This period is asking you to reshape your belief systems from lived experience, not just idealism. Cancer (June 21 – July 22) Cancer, you live through emotion and connection. But during Neptune retrograde, your emotional radar might feel scrambled. You could feel misunderstood, overly sensitive, or deeply nostalgic for people and feelings that are no longer aligned with your current self. This can feel like you're floating without an anchor. What to do: Anchor within. Create a quiet emotional space that's just for you. Limit energy leaks from people who take without returning. Engage in soul-nourishing activities like cooking, water rituals, or connecting with your ancestral roots. Let the ocean of your emotions settle without rushing to swim. The Collective Message Neptune retrograde is not here to destroy, but to deconstruct illusions. It removes false light so true clarity can shine. Feeling disconnected, lost, or confused during this time is not a weakness—it's a spiritual signal. It's the soul's way of saying: "You're ready to see what you've been pretending not to see." Saturn's presence in Pisces adds gravity to Neptune's dissolving magic. It means we can't float endlessly anymore. We must choose which dreams to build and which illusions to release. If you feel tired, it's because you've outgrown a version of yourself. If you feel disconnected, it's because a deeper reconnection is beginning. Let this retrograde guide you inward. Not all answers are outside. Not all signs come in bright lights. Sometimes, the most important shift happens in silence.

And Mysore pak be like, aiyyo, what did I do?
Radhika has been writing since her college days and has contributed short witty articles to magazines and regional English newspapers. She is a humour blogger and has just published her first e-book of humorous short stories. She is a Piscean which puts her in league with Daniel Craig, and others. Like most Pisceans she is amiable, imaginative and a dreamer - that probably explains the Daniel Craig bit. She could go on about herself forever but she prefers her writing to do the talking. LESS ... MORE So much of pak, pak, pak-ing going on, I tell you! All for a name! That too half of it! And to top it all – a name which has already been changed from its original, to suit the pronunciation standards of people who have no clue how to say it properly! A sweet dish from down south has just been dragged under the microscope for no fault of its own. People from Karnataka recently woke up to the news that their favourite sweet Mysore pak has just been re-named as Mysore shree! Shrieeeeek! Whyyyy? The poor thing was simply minding its own business since donkey's years, in hideous shades of yellow, orange and brown in sweet stalls around the country and suddenly someone thinks its name reminds them of the neighbouring country! Ouch! Who would ever have thought that a dastardly act of terror unleashed in the north of the country would bring about a re-christening, somewhere in the west of the country of a sweet which originated from the south of the country! What a web of convoluted tangles we live in. So, let me tell you a story. A real one. Once upon a time, fairly long ago … ok, in the early 20th C, for those insisting on a time frame, there lived a king – Maharaja Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV, of Mysore. Working in the smoky depths of his large royal kitchen was his talented royal cook, Kakasura Madappa, whose job it was to cook up innovative dishes for the royal dining table. One day, running short of ideas of what to serve, the ingenious chef put his mind to work, and had an aha moment when he put together some gram flour, equal amounts of sugar, unhealthy amounts of pure ghee, and what bubbled up at him from a deep cauldron was a frothy, buttery, melt-in-the-mouth bit of heaven, which he then cut into small rectangle pieces and had them dispatched to the king, on a golden platter. The king, on tasting just a bit of the thing, was instantly transported to paradise and back. Reeling from the heady feeling as if celestial dancers had just done a mesmerising jig on his tongue, he summoned the cook forthwith and asked him, 'Yenappa Madappa, yen idhu adhbutha sihi baksha?' Oi, dude Madappa, what is this amazing sweet? To which the latter, not having had time to give a name to his invention, thought fast on his feet and came up with, 'Mysore paka!' And I like to imagine that he was immediately rewarded with a gold chain from the king's neck. Thus, my friends, was born that most famed sweet from Mysuru, the royal state of Karnataka, a royal sweet that has travelled across the country and far beyond. In its different avatars – the soft, moist, drenched-in-ghee version which slides down your throat like ghee on a hot spoon, or the dry crunchy version with tiny moon-like craters on it, it has withstood the winds of change around the country, and stood strong and proud as Karnataka's gift to the world, a sweet made with and named after the sticky sugar syrup referred to as paaka or paka in Kannada. Point to be noted, m'lord! And now some over-zealous restaurant owner decides to demonstrate his patriotism through an innocuous item on his menu card. Just because the poor guy and many other guys like him are not aware that we southies (unlike the rest of the country who chop off the tail end of words abruptly), like to add a little sing-song alaap to the end of our words and thus Kannad is actually Kannada and Karnatak is really Karnataka! And as for Mysore pak? Definitely not shree, puhleese! All ye movers and shree'kers … just add an aaa to pak and I promise the poor sweet won't remind you of that country, ever! In the meantime, can we chill and have some mysore paka and hot pak-oras please? I would like some chai too, but somehow, it reminds me of China! And we can't have that now, can we?
