There's nothing more atrocious than thinking oneself being alone, than feeling oneself being less than what one is, in giving less than what one may give away.
My friend presently extolled the beauty of women in today’s Newsfeed in Facebook: Its so heart warming to see women deal with life's issues so boldly and overcome pain and difficulties with courage. Bold, energetic, fighting and extremely loving, these women stand out for their individuality. Their identity and happiness doesnt depend on career,money, physical appearance or the men(husband/son/father) in their lives.. but only on their high spirit to live and to love. Salute to them. God Bless! Ever since time has brought life into its manifold beauty, women have been held in high esteem. Be it Mother Mary or Goddess Durga, Rani LaxmiBai or Joan of Arc, women have since time immemorial, served as the right instruments of God's work. It used to be a matriarchial society when men decided to change history and manipulate scriptures to bring things under their fold. The controversial Godman Sathya SaiBaba glorified women in their being parents and their role as the most imp...
Sunday, June 7, 2009 A Moment’s fortune I was standing near the platform when I happened to look up. Something made me look around, though I knew not what. The day was sultry and I had no energy to keep myself perpendicular.Occasional comments on the government’s careless policies added to my impatience. I gazed at the watch.

I was longing to get, for long. God had answered my prayers. But little had I realized that He had made a bargain that day, for my brother...
They were pearls round Mother Nature's neck. The sky was gloomy as was my mood. It had been raining. I went outside not for the fun of it but just to give me a boost. At such times, you cannot but help being but yourself, because it's Mother Nature conspiring to take you by the collar. I am susceptible to cold and cough. But my spirit got the better of me and I decided to take myself out without an umbrella. I was being completely with myself. No phone calls, occasional smiles, the pitter- patter of the rain and then as I rested my heavy self on a slab, I looked up to see the beauty Mother Nature thankfully presented. A plant with drops of rain on the edge of its leaves. Nothing new to nature lovers. No, not even me. But there it was revealing itself to me-- my beauty. I was there just in time to get the glimpse. The fading light would not have allowed me to participate in full measure had I been late, or had I allowed my mind to continue being clouded. There they wer...
