The guide!
When the road ahead is not to be seen, Keep asking questions. For in the questions will you find, the answers to the directions!
A matter of Perception!
The way you think can change your PERCEPTION of life! The rosy colors of the sky and the red orange tint of the sun; Can seem like the picture of the sun at dawn, When it could well have been, The scene of the setting sun, at dusk time!
WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE??
Blasts, firing, terrorist attacks! Put on the T.V., …Check the details! Where, when, how? Call your loved ones. Are they safe? Ask them to get home fast or stay over at a safe place till things cool down a bit! Telephone, mobile lines jammed! News channels on continuously for quite some time.. Until every bit of information is obtained, digested, relayed to others… facts, figures… how many hurt, how many dead…! Sad stories, miraculous escapes, unfortunate beings caught in it. How some missed, how some didn’t. ….sad… which hospitals?/ Any one needs blood?? Next day… news channels ..shots of ground zero.. Mumbai’s spirit, Mumbai’s resilience.. yuck! Don’t want to hear that one more time! Want to earn my bread.. so have to get back to work.. no other option! L Following evenings… debates on who failed?

The mound of clay
The mound of clay is in place, with the right amount of water base. Before the knead is in progress, free it of the tufts of grasses, for you need an unsoiled lot, from old mother ground. Before the mound is laid on the wheel, and the wheel is set in motion, one needs to picture the pot, that will take shape from the mound. So take time out and build an image in the depths of your mind, of the final creation, its shape, colours and design. Then hold the mound with soft hands, and as the wheel gathers motion, with its centre of gravity and all, the image in your mind, will transfer onto the clay ball!
The weather in my heart!
Some times when you have a few moments to yourself, and you have the good sense of reflecting upon your actions and reactions, of the times that went by, one realises that everything around you seems happy and beautiful when your mood is such and when you tend to be in a gloomy frame of mind, the mind is inclined to noticing all the wretchedness in the world around you, thus missing all the elements of goodness around you. Of course, one can’t help it, as its human nature to behave thus. But if only, we all, by choice, always try to be cheerful in the mind, no matter what the situation is, we would be spared of so much pain that we inflict upon ourselves as a result of concentrating only on the unpleasantness in life. Hence, I PRAY TO GOD TO.... Let the weather in my heart be always, cool and pleasant, no matter what, So that it forever finds the weather outside, warm and beautiful, no matter what! J
The toughest!
Its said that when the going gets tough, the tough get going! I would like to add further to it that the toughest are those who don't get complacent in easier times.
