The End.

In this season of retirement , following the path of legends , comes another boot-hanging.
For years, it always felt great listening ,
Dude! Grow Up!
Man! Grow up!
Arre oo ! Grow Up!
Just realised I am/was no longer the dude / man / arreo....
Antha Slash ayipoyindi...
The eventuality of our lives has finally thrown up it's hydra headed monstrous face.

The long standing family secret is out. The word that could have torn the family apart 11 yeasr ago was finally uttered ( K3G anyone ?)
Why ? when ? How?
It goes , Mummmy has a brother , the brother - another sister.
The sister of the brother - a daughter( D:1).
The sister , another sister ( bah ! not mummy) and of course as like other sisters,a daughter( D:2).
Now, D:1 marries the brother of her mother.
ok ?

Now D:2 as you wouldn't have expected.... D:3

So , if you are just thinking howz D:3 and I are related then hold...go back.

Now that you are aware that D:3 is my mother's sister's grand daughter and so my mother's brother obviously becomes her grandfather , and not quite obviously since my mother's brother married another sister's daughter ( who was/is my cousin sister ) , my sister becomes D:3 's grand mother and that would make me Grand Father!

Dudes! and that's my point!I am/was Grand Father!!!!
Seems ,have been a grand father since 1995......

So, on moral grounds , I feel I can no longer do justice to the Dudism and hereby put in my resignation from Dudesmanship.

It has a been a long journey ,a thoroughly enjoyable one.
Thank you all , (gulp) Love you all
