Drinking companion wanted. £7 per hour.

A lonely man in Hampshire is yearning for a drinking companion. He is 88 years old and feeling lonely at a nursing home where he moved in recently.

Remember, a nursing home need not be a hospital. It is a sort of old age home.

His name is Jack Hammond. His son Michael, recently put up an advertisement at Hampshire post office that he ans his father are interviewing candidates and the selected person has to accompany Jack four times a week to the local pub, have a few drinks with him and the payment is £7 per hour.

Hmm... quite an ad and nice of Michael-such a caring son.

Hillary Clinton eyeing 2012?

Americans have a unique quality. They publicly accept defeat gracefully. I appreciate their gracefulness and their attitude of getting back to normality quickly.

It is so very rare in India.

I have been following Hillary's progress, speeches, debates rather avidly. I want her to win. I am praying for her success.

But it seems she has already detected failure and may be preparing for 2012. Though, I consider this move brave and brilliant, I am sad that she is not going to make it this time as per press reports.

"In the face of seemingly insurmountable mathematical odds, where Barack Obama currently leads in states won, popular votes, pledged delegates, and combined delegates, Mrs Clinton battles on."-Washington Book

This news revives my hopes and spirit.

God! Let her win. Thank you.
