meri zindagi ke kucch rang…..

hectic hectic.. week…. phew! so damn tired….. ah! but d smile on the faces of the lovely li’l dahlings…. made me forget d tiredness….. as i stepped out of the car, all weary and tired.. I anticipated some curious eyes staring at me…..

Fiddling with my bag for the colours [gulaal] I had kept, and the ghujiya, I was still looking into the red coloured jhola bag which mom got for me 😀 n i readily accepted dat as it was quite different from d dainty purses I have been carrying, and esp coz it reminded moi of the good old college days….ah! purani jeans aur guitar 🙂 hmmm…. so…. well! i was distracted by the “beats” of a v fav song playing somewhere… 😀 n a group of kiddos jumping around all oblivious.. trying to copy shahid n kareena 😉 lolz…. i was fascinated….. stood watching them…. felt my feet tapping even at d “noisy” broken “music” and “beats” from d broken radio 😛

I guess d cheer of the voices + d lovely laughter and smiles on the faces of the kids was much more musical and “beat-sical” 😀

I dunno… just joined the gang…. to match a step or two 😛 did a jive.. right there in d centre of the road… wid d kidlings squealing wid laughter 🙂

In d midst of all this, some child pulled at mah bag [d jhola :D] and i remembered d gulal n d ghujiya… ah! all taken out – used to the fullest… n

relished:) d “didi didi” + “happy holi apko bhi” +d cute hugs and kisses fro d li’l dahlings brought tears to mah eyes….

wid misty eyes…, I hugged ’em for their unconditional love……thanked dem…. esp when they said “didi fil she zalul ana ” [dats-> loving sister, plz do come back again], I forgot the intense tension I was in d conference room a while ago…. Happy Holi dahlings….. love ya:) Keep smiling… and God Bless!

I took their leave as the next song “”holi ke din dilmil jaate hain….. ” from sholay starting to play……

My friend’s baby 🙂 manan

n here’s what nonu says:

Mom, I dreamed of you last night…
You stretched out your arms and hugged me tight.
And just for moment there it seemed
That your touch was real, not just a dream.
I had talked to God just hours before
And told Him “Lord, there is nothing more
That could satisfy or comfort me
Than for my Mother’s face to see”.

box -March10_2008

Aww! I just tried being innovative…..
err… well tried to get into a box.. and then “out of the box” to start thinkin outta d box 😛 Innovation U C 😉

d real power……

I remember discussing with a friend about karma….. about being more powerful since you are “indifferent to pleasure and pain” and then one can win-all!
Yeah! thats what the scriptures say…..
but we are here on earth as mortals to learn….. this is our karmabhumi….. yes, we all seek attainment of moksha…

People say “I am indifferent”.. I guess they do not know the difference at all!
They are actually running away from themselves….. the “real” themselves…

Sanyasi banke sab kucch cchor ke karma karne se zyada difficult hai isi moh maya me reh ke apne aap ko control me rakhna…. thats what Krishna loves us for….. that’s what he sent us here for….. sab kucch cchor kar “control” me rehna is not the real game….. isn’t it….. well that’s what I try for…..

What one has to do is… being in total control living here – “with” the moh and maya – controlling the evil emotions – anger, lust, etc etc….. and then one is powerful!
Thats why the four ashrams in the lifecycle made….. balya awasha(childhood) to sanyas-ashram in old age….

as long as we are here we otta earn good karma…..
Its d vicious circle of life….. all that you give comes back to you.. so give good….. Just THAT!

Give love if you want more and more love in your life……
Give happiness….if you want more and more happiness in your life……
Listen to others if u want to be listened to…..
to summarize.. treat others the way you want yourself to be treated……

I might be wrong….. I am sometimes….. 😛 but well… I love making mistakes….. 😀 they are important milestones in my life’s journey….. helping me grow! helping me improve n making me better and better……

Always thank! Ummm…. Shukriya Meherbaani – therz a lovely song too… 🙂
and Yes!….. Life is beautiful if we make it so….. 🙂

A nice poem I found on the web…

I am a girl.
I am an expression of beauty, joy, and love.
I have the right, the power and the ability, to create a beautiful, joyful, and peaceful world for myself and others.
I have a body, but i am not my body.
I have a face, but i am not my face. I am the most important thing in the world to me.
I am love in motion.
I am the light of the world.
I can create.
I can make a mistake.
I can create something beautiful in all that i do.
I deserve the best.
I give my best.
I do my best to always take care of me. I am a girl.
I am growing into a woman.
I AM IT.
I am the joy the world is waiting for.
Iyanla Vanzant, on self-affirmation for young women

Beauty is one of the rare things that do not lead to doubt of God.

Shiva: God Of Welfare Or Kalyanasundaram

On the occasion of Mahashivratri:

What does Shiva mean? From written and unwritten sources, from Tantrik and Vedic texts, from shrutis and smritis, we get three meanings of the term Shiva. The first and most important meaning of Shiva is “welfare”. Shivamastu means the same as Kalyanamastu — “May you be blessed”.
Kalyanasundaram is the representation of Shiva embodying the true spirit of blessedness. He is said to serve all life forms with five faces, two on the left as Vamadeva and Kalagni; two on the right as Daksineshvara and Ishana and one in the centre as Kalyanasundaram, the Supreme Controller.
Shiva is Daksineshvara because He is showering daksina or compassion upon all creation. That is the special role allotted to Daksineshvara. Ishana is responsible for controlling all the jivas, individual beings, with meticulous care. And Kalyanasundaram, the face in the centre, plays the role of controlling all the faces. Kalyanasundaram’s only purpose is to promote the greatest welfare of all living beings.
As Vamadeva, Shiva is terrible — He is Rudra — “one who teaches others by making them shed tears”. But the underlying purpose is to teach people, not to harm them. The other face, Kalagni, also subjects people to torture, but there also, the main purpose is to teach them, to promote their welfare. Now here also, the central face, Kalyanasundaram, controls the two roles of Vamadeva and Kalagni. He is Sundaram, beautiful, because He promotes kalyana or welfare. Hence Kalyanasundaram.
Shiva is both severe and tender. He is tender, so naturally people love Him. Although He is severe, people still adore Him, because underlying His apparent severity there is tenderness. Thus the role of Shiva is predominantly the role of promoter of welfare. So the first meaning of the term Shiva is “welfare”.
The second meaning of the term Shiva is “cognition in its zenith status”, the Supreme non-attributional process, beyond the faculties of all existential bondages.
The third meaning is Sadashiva, who, by His holy birth, consecrated, as it were, every particle and utilised His whole life for the sole purpose of advancing the cause of universal welfare of not just humans but all life. Hence he is called Sadashiva: Sada means always and Shiva, welfare. He is one whose only vow of existence is to promote the all-round welfare of all living beings.
Here is a question: In the night of blinding darkness, do humans alone aspire to feel the soothing touch of light? No, all want it. All seek to grow out of the oblivion of existential darkness into the warmth of life, to experience finally the fulfilment of their life’s urges.
Up until this day, human beings have not made a proper appraisal of this great noncorporeal power, Shiva, who gave human beings their first opportunity to experience the sweet joy of fulfilment of all their longings. No one has discussed Him much up until now. Why people failed to make this appraisal is irrelevant today. It is the firm duty of every individual to know and evaluate the exact contribution of Shiva, and in this process of evaluation, we cannot ignore the phenomenon of Supreme Light.
One may derive some joy from a bright ray emanating from a shining entity, but without the entity itself, the bliss will not be complete.
