its time for inner peace and outer dynamism. the fire inside has started to flame, purifying everything in its wake.....
time to work
time to work
time to work
i know not who u are
i know not what u are
i know not why i have fallen in such deep love with u
i know not when and i know not how
yet this i know this
that if all the gold in the world
or all whatever the world thinks precious and priceless were offered me
i would turn way
for when i see all of that and when i see u, my love, my mind stops, my heart fills with love and my eyes well up with tears of gratitude
for this one moment i would gladly turn the rest away

vigilante justice, anyone??

This is what would happen if criminals are allowed to roam the streets free….It’s a shame that in a “democratic” country like india, people that kill their brothers and sisters in cold-blood are given “fair” trials and not treated like the monsters that they are. Democracy for who? Justice for who? What about all the Indians who died defending their brethren? What message is this sending out ? That we are very fair, and humane. That we treat even those people who threaten to harm us, very well. And that anyone can do anything they want and get away with it too? Are we so gutless that we will not risk offending a community by punishing a criminal belonging to that community for killing my people, whether they be Hindus or Muslims or any other. In my country, it is such that the terrorist that killed so many of my kinsmen in front of t v cameras and held the entire nation to ransom has not yet been condemned. It is atrocious. Watch out, there is simmering anger that could turn into an inferno, that would purify and purge my country of all the ills and evils that are being allowed to fester. This is my country, these are my people and anyone who threatens its safety and integrity will be taken to justice.

i?

My husband has left for his 2 week trip abroad. Miss him terribly…started to think about what I really am. Some part of who I am is defined by my relationships with people around me…but if I remove all these relationships, would I still be?? I will….these relationships help to add various dimensions to me and give many colours to my personality…. I am a mother, a wife, a friend, a sister, a devotee, customer, a woman, an employer, a teacher, a student….
This means I have to be like a transparent sheet through which any colour can flow at any instant, depending on the need of the moment… open to all possibilities. Who knows what or who I can become??!! This is terribly exciting…
Is this what He is?? Free from all the relationships yet fully part of them.. is this what inter-dependence is? And what independence is?

lost someone today....no, not to death..to someone else. took the person for granted and was smug about the whole thing until today. am consoling myself with "maybe its not meant to be" and the likes...but the question remains- what could i have done that this situation is not? feel very very responsible. heard that he is happy in his chosen path, that comforts me a little. would have wanted it to be otherwise..... am letting go.....every step in life is a teacher, every person i meet is my teacher...
have to translate intentions into actions else life will pass me by......
