Lead Thy way

Lord guide us through our errors everyday
A shining star in life’s dark way

When will we all realize our error
And stop bringing about chaos and terror

Why do men fight for power
Dont they realize they are approaching their final hour

Life is too short to sqabble and fight
So why dont we all live it right

Take the time to help atleast one
Then I am sure we’ll all have fun

Lets all live without any rife
It’s high time everyone got some life

Every drop is precious

Element of life
Vital for our sustenance
Taken for granted

A Fine Balance

Life is a balance
Of desires and compromise
Don’t choose only one

Found this little guy walking on the fence @ the Doddabalapur railway station with ease and unlike me he was quite curious who the specimen with the camera was !!. Linked to Camera Critters

Surya Namaskar #FMSPHOTOADAY

When the day begins
The golden rays nourishing
Today starts anew

Part of the #FMSPHOTOADAY  challenge, today is May 2 which is associated with morning ritual and I choose Surya Namaskar. Associated with Yoga, Surya Namaskar literally means welcoming the sun and what better ritual than to do this in the open air under the new sun.. Well I am still encouraging myself so if I preach more I might actually do it !

Zen #atozchallenge

Hope is like water
Always finding its own way
Among all the rocks

Water can be still, turbulent,soft and yet cut through rocks.   If the mind can achieve  all these states, it has achieved true Zen.

Truth comes with age

Vishu – A New Year #atozchallenge

 

 

New year arriveth
Bringing much hope, dreams and joy
Let good times begin

Vishu – The New Year celebrated in Kerala usually on or around the second week of April (usually 14 April). Yeah they have their own calendar but I am not too good at those. Whats important is it was celebrated on 14 Apr this year !!

The day starts with a Vishukkani, a literal translation meaning “first thing you see after waking up” and this is usually the idol of Krishna elaborately arranged with a lot of other traditional items. Usually the lady of the house arranges the vishukanni the previous night, wakes up early in the morning, lights the lamp and then makes sure the others see this as the first thing when they open their eyes. This involves a lot of walking in the dark of course with your eyes closed or covered . The Vishukkani usually consists of a ritual arrangement of auspicious articles like raw rice, fresh lemon, golden cucumber, betel leaves, arecanut, metal mirror, yellow flowers konna (Cassia Fistula), and a holy text and coins, in a bell metal vessel called uruli. A lighted bell metal lamp called nelavilakku is also placed alongside (taken from Wikipedia). Well we did with whatever we could arrange. Its also a day the foodies would die for with some traditional sadya (feast) with a unimaginable number of food items if one can find the right source and we did
