Born to be one...

Hmmm...it's been a very long time, i could'nt turn back. Engaged life... so far so good:) These two bloomed "Brahmakamala" (night queen) flowers in our garden evoked few thoughts in me...

Sometimes...

$ Akshaya tritiya $

Today is Akshaya tritiya...What is the day all about?

Heard…if we buy gold or garments or any superior thing on this particular day…it’s going to be “akshaya”. People are crazy enough to pre-book the ornaments to buy on this particular day and believe it’s going to be perpetual.

The word akshaya literally means “everlasting”. People prefer this propitious day to start their business or to enter the newly built house, to perform sacred ceremonies or to get married.

The much hyped Akshaya tritiya is considered as one among the most auspicious days of vedic calendar. It is also said that the day is so auspicious that one need not check muhurthas for any timings on this day. The day is spiritual & is preferred to perform poojas, donate or give aid to the needy. But the recent trends show that the day is meant only to buy gold & worship goddess Laxmi. Gold council has commercialized the concept of course. Seasonally, Gold prices have hiked up like anything but it doesn’t matter. Once in a year at least women are justified for what they demand. Don’t miss it!:)

Me? Nope…I got it 3 weeks back when it priced better than now ;)

The Essence of Love*

A Heart touching mail, I received from a friend. …it’s truly evocative. The times when we are in a relationship…be it friendship or having found our soul mates, when we are concerned about & are proud to be with them in the present state when we cheer around celebrating Valentines Day… how long do we last in the relationship? How far we take care of each other’s feelings? Do we sense beyond gifts & partying that how strong is the base of our relation? We need to pose ourselves “Are we committed for long”?

Just check the mail unfolding the relation between 2 lovely, innocent birds…

It was a gloomy Saturday afternoon. A flock of birds was spending great time searching for food and playing on the main road. Out of the sudden, a big truck sped through... sad thing had happened again.



Birds can feel too. Although this bird had already died, another bird flew over to her immediately, just like a family member, unable to accept the truth.

Not long after that, another car stormed in causing the dead bird's body to whirl with the wind. The spouse noticed the movement. As if she was still alive, he quickly flew beside her again.

He stayed beside her and yelled ... "WHY ARE YOU NOT GETTING UP!?"

Unfortunately, she's no longer able to hear him. In the meantime, he's trying to lift her up.

He, of course, was unable to bear the burden. Another car soon passed by. He quickly flew off. Once the car had gone, he came down again.

Although other birds told him it’s useless, he never gave up. He was trying his best to lift her up to see her flying again. Another car passed by, her dead body whirled again as if still alive and trying to fly.

He had used all of his energy, however... The photographer said he couldn't shoot any longer. The photographer was so worried that the living bird was going to get hurt by passing cars. So he picked up the dead bird and left it at the roadside. The live one still lingered at a nearby tree as if crying with his singing and refused to leave.

Do humans have the same feelings nowadays? I wonder.

If Some Body has fallen who cares....?????

Yes, it’s true. And if the person is our own, it takes a little time to replace the person….we humans! How easily we let go somebody for silly reasons, tiny misunderstandings, lack of adjustments & sometimes for our self-centered desires.That somebody may be a family member, a friend or a person we preferred as soul mate. Becos of Ill health, loss of wealth, sometimes to shape our career, sometimes to escape society tittle-tattle and sometimes to maintain our prestige & we are sometimes just helpless to bump into some circumstances and we finally let them go ... just let them go. We forget that love, that faith & that commitment & the feelings we had shared once.

Guess, these birds are invoking in us the real meaning of Love!
