A quote !

"To make a decision to have a child, it's momentous. It is to decide to have your heart go walking around outside of your body for the rest of your life."

Lovely and indeed true !

" You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you”

Brian Tracy

...

I have lived in this world just long enough to look carefully the second time into things that I am most certain of the first time.

Day in Pictures !

Did you notice the 'Day in Pictures' slideshow in the new Hindu website ?

It is a collection of pics from different walks of life that is consolidated into a slideshow everyday.

Visit the Hindu homepage at : http://beta.thehindu.com/

Some of them are real good ones and I'm a regular visitor there !

...

Don't surrender your loneliness
So quickly.
Let it cut more deeply.
Let it ferment and season you
As few human
Or even divine ingredients can.

-Hafez, poet (1315-1390)

Scattered beads

I gathered the ones near by
To see the far off ones still rolling away
Let go the nearer ones
And stretched for the far off ones
To see both the nearer and farther moving away
Scattered beads ...!
Fading Memories ...!
