 The clock struck at 2.30 am. She tried to open her eyes.” Ahhh… Mom…” She wanted to call out. But she felt as if she had lost control over her body; she felt as if her throat was about to fall apart.  “Doctor…. doctor… HELP! HELP!”--She heard her mother crying out.  ”Oh, Mom... you are here? What’s the matter? - She wanted to open her lips to say these words, but couldn’t. So she decided to listen as that was all she could do at the moment.                          “I am sorry, I couldn’t rescue her.” She heard her doctor’s feeble voice. Suddenly a loud wail reverberated within the ICU walls.  Now she could see her family. She felt tranquil and unusually peaceful. Her aching body had disappeared, instead she felt as if floating in the air... She enjoyed that state of tranquility, but the chaos in the room distracted her. Wait..!! Who’s that girl, near my parents? It’s a dead body, around which her...

She was the center of her universe,  the princess of her kingdom,  butterfly of her garden,  star in her sky,  she fluttered her colorful wings  And one moment  she opened her eyes from the dream darkness she struggled to move forward,  frantically, to go back to her world  crossing the cold, darkness that was covering her. ~Deep Krishna        

Dear Readers, It's been a while since my last post. But now I'am back again with a friendly message to all the women who read this. Today on the occasion of International Women’s Day, let’s take a resolution to love ourselves first. When you are happy with yourself, you will feel happier about the world- and you will be able to treat others with more compassion and respect. All you have to do is to focus on your role in this world, not judging another woman because she’s just another character in the play written by the universe. Be it your maid, your best friend or colleague, treat her with respect and love. Understand that her dreams and frustrations could be same as yours. If nothing else, treat her in such a way to make her feel positive about herself. Never let her down even if she’s not acting according to your perception. This type of compassion is what we need in the world. Because if each one of us makes a small change in our thoughts, this, in ...

Have anyone experienced a strange wonder after finishing a creative piece- poem/write up/artwork or even a new dish that came out perfectly well- that it doesn't belong to you, or has been done by someone else? I mean, you feel strange as if we got those ideas/ the creativity from a central source of knowledge. If there is such a central knowledge source, can we connect to it often? Just like we log in to the internet? Wouldn't it be great if we could? Sharing my thoughts on this: To connect to this knowledge source, we should stay much focused, like in meditation. I feel 'this knowledge source' is like an invisible wave of energy around us to which only a sincere seeker can connect. Or it will be like a pond in which we all maybe living like fishes, unaware of the ocean of knowledge in which we have been immersed -caring only about the perishable illusions such as money, beauty and suchlike! On thinking further: A focused mind can achieve this connecti...

Breath taking panorama with the divine presence of Buddha .The giant Tian Tan Buddha statue was covered with mist. Lantau Island in Hong Kong is a must visit place for a serene and spiritual experience. This majestic statue symbolizes the stability of Hong Kong, prosperity of China and peace on earth. Below the Big Buddha statue , there is Po Lin monastery main temple. Tian Tan Buddha, a giant Buddha statue completed in 1993, is an extension of the monastery.
