The V's of City Connect

A to Z Challenge - My Theme-  City Connect - my connect with....
Aurangabad-Schooling & Junior College / Bombay- Graduation & First job/ Chennai - Marriage & Motherhood


VIYOVIJ/ AURANGABAD

Those were the days of Dial up connection
At a time either the Phone or internet only 1 could function
Downloading was new ; Emailing was fun
Outlook use to say " Sending One of One"
We had our accounts on Sify & Rediff
And a family user id by the name Viyovij

VEG FRANKIES / BOMBAY 

There was a little Frankie store;
Just outside our office door.
Paneer/Egg/ Veg & Chicken;
It offered these options Four.
With Frankies in hand-we have walked the lane
Sometimes even boarded a train
God knows from where all the crowd came;
This little shop, had its own fame!



VISHAKA HARI / CHENNAI 
We grew fond of this vocalist
Enjoyed Krishna stories coming from the artist
Some of the epics were known before
Yet willing to hear how her narrations pour
On the back every narrative -a music ferries
A signature style to relish from Vishaka Hari

Vishaka Hari is an excellent Harikatha exponent. She is a much sought after performer especially during the music season in Chennai.

Even I had a Sify dial-up connection at home. 'Sending one of one' was very nostalgic!
