Today I received an interesting info about a Utube video released commemorating Ringo Starr's birthday that was celeberated on 7 July. Let me provide a link to the video here.
Today is the birthday of Mick Jagger, of The Rolling Stones. Best wishes for a happy birthday to him.
As a former travel enthusiast, I had always liked to visit different places, like any good tourist. My career had given ample opportunities in this direction.
This evening, I had the pleasure of viewing a Utube video featuring Phnom Penh, a city in which I lived and worked.
As the Cambodian Ministry of Education had encouraged it's staff, in particular senior staff, to use bicycles instead of cars, many of us used bicycles for shopping, sight seeing and for travelling to our offices and back.

I hope that you like the Utube video.
When browsing my mobile Net, I came across Swartruggens Hotel situated on the National Highway connecting Botswana and South Africa. I remember staying in a guest house owned by this hotel and given on monthly rental basis. I and John Karikkaatil, a colleague from Kerala stayed in the guest house with two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a common hall. I and John taught in a South African Government High School situated nearly half an hour's drive from our resident.
I remember a South African Indian Grocery Store just opposite the guest house, from where I used to buy my groceries. I remember how I used to make my favourite cheese sandwiches before retiring at night. I used to keep them in the fridge and take it to school for lunch the next day (as I didn't have time to cook in the mornings except on weekends). Schools began at 7.30 am or 8 am in the mornings.
As self driving was not easy as the roads were rough, we used to depend on taxis to travel to the school and back. I remember Mr France, a kind Setswana speaking taxi driver who used to take me every day from my residence to school and back.
I remember the colourful weekend flea markets and a popular billiards game room nearby our residence.
The local post office was very nearby and it was easy for me to pick letters to me as I had my own PO Box provided by the Post Office on rental basis.
On some weekends I and John used to view football matches that were very popular among the local people.
Some times I and John used to visit our South African Indian friends of Gujarathi origin; they owned grocery shops, tailoring shops etc. in the town.

As a fan of charismatic Tom Brook' s 'Talking Movies, I continue viewing his programs whenever I find time.
This afternoon, it was a pleasure to watch his program on the Indian origin director Ms Gurinder Chadha in this clip.
Just like many single senior citizens, I get my breakfast, lunch and dinner from nearby caterers. Their dishes are delicious but too spicy.
As a sandwich lover, I was wondering whether it is possible to cook sandwich using ready made dosa batter.
A few minutes back, thanks to Google and Sundar Pitchai, I came across a very informative and useful resource; my thanks to Ms/Mrs Madhulika.
I remember how I used to make sandwiches just before retiring every night and use them for next day's lunch, due to lack of time to cook in the mornings on weekdays when I was working in South Africa. I also remember Wimpy, my favourite restaurant, where I used to relish hot and delicious cheese sandwiches during my weekend visits to nearby towns and cities.
7 July of last week was the birthday of my sibling (sister). It was also the birthday of Ringo Starr, of The Beatles . 18 June was was the birthday of Paul McCartney.
