My Irrelevant Jumbled Thoughts

I have always had great curiosity, since early childhood, about the who, when, why, where or how of all sorts of things. This streak has never diminished, if any change at all, it increases with age. As I find that the older I get there are more things I am ignorant of or curious about. Some of these are not important or significant, but once I got a question mark on my mind it nags me mercilessly, and it will keep irking me on to find answers. Sometimes I would give up, but it would somehow, some day, when I least expected it, just pop up from nowhere all those what's, why's, who's and when's again.

Other times, when I am minding my own business and not thinking hard about any pending questions at all, answers might appear out of a blue in a variety of ways too! These moments are few but always wonderful. As if I have been given a gift quite unexpectedly. Today I found out who invented the vacuum cleaner. I know you are laughing at me now. Who really needs to know who was the person who suddenly decided that people shouldn't be crawling on the floor to clean it, but push a little contraption, gliding it on the floor while you practice the waltz steps like you see in the TV commercials?

Somebody did, and all of us are grateful. He was Azel Wenner-Gren (1881-1961), one of the richest man in the world, one of the most powerful magnate, most influential in the business field, in society and even in politics. But ...., this man's life is so colourful and his experiences and achievements so unusual and varied, he deserves more than jst a mere mention here. I will write about him a bit more some time.

Life Illustrated In Photos

All novels have a story or two of a family, or the reverse, all families have stories to make up a novel. And the stories, or novels, one can share their lives through the photos of a family album. Yeas ago, I was invited by a couple of German friends to spend a few days at their home town, Cologne (Koln- I don't have the facility to put in the double dot above the O). I had a real good time in this very colourful old town. One of the evenings after returning from dinner in town, we sat in the sitting room chatting. I was shown some family albums, dozens of them, lining on the shelves of the bookcase, very neatly arranged, with a clear label marking the corresponding year of each album in chronicle order. I know a lot of people complain about being lumbered with friends' family albums, forced to view hundreds of photos they have no interest in, at some of the relatives or friends they don't even know, etc. Not me. I love looking at friend's albums, especially if these friends are old people, with long years behind them and with a large family. These are meticulously dated, captioned, with a few words telling about the occasions or some significant happenings, impressions of a new place visited, or opinions on something eaten, seen or done. It fascinates me to see the changes of their looks, the fashion, the life style of the past with the present; the family members, the relatives, the friends. Images that automatically conjured up their life experiences stage by stage, telling me stories of their life. To a great extent, without the fine, day to day details. I feel a lot closer to them then, knowing so much more, almost as if I had shared at least parts of it; and their graciousness of allowing me to. Tags:photoalbums
