Sweet, Sweet Child of Mine...

Sweet, sweet child of mine-

I promise you love and laughter
but specks of ache and gloom.
I promise you dreams and rainbow
but dashes of rains and storm.

You will rock gently in soothing arms
but sometimes stray,feel cast away.
You will find your true love
but sometimes cry out loud.

You will feel invincible
but sometimes, stark invisible.
You will cherish subsistence
but sometimes curse, whole of existence.

This life is spring and summer
but sprinkled with rains and winter.
This life is pure wonder
but sometimes pitiful blunder.

You will taste tears of ecstasy
but sometimes those of woe.
So tread gently my love-
For life is not black or white
nor is it grey or blue.

It is whatever you can see,
It is whatever you can feel.
It is for you to live,
The strands are yours to weave!

This is a journey en masse
but also a quest forlorn.
Take care my child
For you are never truly alone.

For you are only a child
For now and forever.
And carry with you
Not the tempest, but the rainbow!


And come back to me dear,
As my sweet, sweet child.

The Secret to Perfect Love!

It's not uncommon to hear someone gleam with pride when they describe their lover's or partner's undivided love for them- all the love personalized and customized just for a person- sounds tempting, doesn't it?

Most of us try consciously or subconsciously to bottle up all the love in a person's heart so that we mean the world to that someone special- so that we are the only visible thing on the Universe to them-for undivided attention and acceptance- Would our position in that heart be compromised if we give the space to accommodate anything else if not somebody else?

We fall in love with someone and the moment we realize we have owned our love- we take out all our secret and not so secret tools to sculpt them- to claim their copyright rules and start seeing the infinite number of changes required to make them perfect- to paint our perfect picture!
But at the end of all that work- we will be surprised at the startling result.

Now, let's see- whose love has been praised, admired and dreamed of the most,missed the most, since times unknown- the ultimate meaning, the towering image of divine love-no doubt- a mother's love-pure,divine,undiluted- UNCONDITIONAL LOVE!

Let's try and analyze why?- Could it be that a mother loves her child no matter what, that to her her child is always perfect as it is, that she is someone whom you can always run back to and you know that her doors will never be shut to you- because you know you can pursue your dreams and that her love will not be wavered- that it glows not like a candle, but like the sun!
Eternal and warm...

We often believe that if we let them pursue their dreams- we might lose our significance, that if they love their family and friends more-the love reserved for us may be compromised, that even the newspaper or a book can be a competition!So knowingly or unknowingly we limit their circle of love and dreams- till finally only we exist- but by then we would have extinguished the very glow we fell in love with in the first place and wonder what went wrong.

So, let's try this instead- let's try to help evolve a more loving person- someone who can still talk to their family and friends with as much love and enthusiasm as they please without apprehension, someone who can still pursue dreams- someone who wants you in his/her dreams along with the so many wonders of life. Let us not close their eyes, but open them to the joyous world- let us help them be more and more loving and compassionate and let us help them be a happier, truly luckier, compassionate person and encourage them to feel the radiance and joy flowing through their veins and let us join them in that pure joy of basking love- love flowing from every cell of their being!-There is enough love in a person for the whole Universe to rejoice...
The more you let them love, the more they can truly discover your love.



So, let's try not to cage that infinite love.
Let them free and fly along with them into that magical land,dreams soaring, hearts pounding,the wind in your lovely face !

'Let us not fall, but rise in love!'

The Illusions we are born into...

'People see only what they want to see.'

Every baby is born into a beautiful world- a world full of wonders and love.But slowly, as each day passes, a new kind of vision is slowly injected into their tiny brains till they stop seeing the world for what it is, they stop seeing angels!- they are born again-into a world of illusions.

It slowly spreads until one day your every cell is addicted to that belief...the belief of not believing.

I started to realize about this mass hypnotism, when one day I watched a documentary on the wedding rituals of a remote African tribe. The prospective bride is locked in a room 40 days prior to the big day to make transform her into a magical bride.She is not even allowed to move around and put on a strict beauty diet-now, the diet is the interesting part- at least a goat a day, gallons of milk, butter or whatever calorie they can get hold of.On the day before the wedding, the whole of the tribal women come to see the charming bride with her round figure and bouncing pot belly! And she dances to show off her beauty.

Can we imagine such a concept of beauty- but their vision is not dictated by the glamor of the red carpet or the stick figures on the silver screen. To them she depicts prosperity, she depicts warmth and radiance, she depicts beauty- can we deny them their vision?

It can be argued by health experts as not a healthy trend but is getting anorexic or taking shots of crack(cocaine) to fit into the clavicle popping, fragile, size-0 dream girl image healthy either.So just because the mass media and society makes you believe something you don't have to.You can think for yourself-don't lose that power.

In a study conducted children were picked at random from various walks of life, races and colors to select the prettiest doll from an equally diverse selection of dolls. And the shocking result was that each one of them selected a white, blond, sharp-nosed doll!Each one of them.Who makes them believe that to be cute they have into fit that picture?Were they born with that belief?
'Chubby cheeks, rosy lips
Curly hair, very fair
Eyes are blue, lovely too
Teacher's pet, is that you?'

Whom will we label 'civilized'- A half naked, illiterate,tribal who cares for his kids and kin or a sophisticated, articulate, intellectual genius who is a pedophile?

Can you imagine a charming, love struck man proposing to you, on his knees with an Aluminium ring!But a few centuries back you would have dreamed of such a ring- back then, Aluminium was the costliest metal and ornaments made of it- but an inexpensive method for the extraction from ore was discovered and whola! So, are we made to believe that diamonds are the key to a woman's heart or is it really the key?

You hold the key to your vision, you know who you are and you can see your angels if you wish to.



'You were born an original, don't die a copy.'

Positive Thinking -Is It Possible-Really???

I have read a lot on positive thinking and its miracles.Yes,it does help. But personally for me it is not a one-time cure. Sometimes,things are so messed up that when you try hard to find the silver lining, you feel like you are losing your mind.

What I am saying is that if you can't figure it out then and there ,its OK. Give it sometime. Let it sink. But don't let your heart and hopes sink with it too. Know that there will be a new sunrise and let the sun set today ,and as you watch it set from a place outside you ,you can feel the calm and soothing silence and let that gentle warmth heal you.

I do not mean to imply that positive attitude is a sham-it is a wonderful way to live-what i feel is that a hundred percent energy level may not be possible everyday relax --don't strain your heart to kick- start every time. OK, let us put it this way- you are taking your morning jog and trip into a ditch unexpectedly-you take a moment to grasp the fact and when you try and get up it might hurt a bit ,and you might have to slow down a bit before you gear up again.The pain may take some time to heal, but it will heal or you have to help it heal and when you are ready, go for that jog and feel the fresh breeze stroke your cheek again...

So think positively ,

Let positive thinking help you live,don't live to think positively!

Just a random thought......
