1st Anniversary- An Ode for the better half

Most often, it needs a soothing breeze to touch, awaken sweet memories. Most often, it needs the company of solitude to paint the pictures of Heart's genesis. Most often, it needs a gentle night and a quiet sky to play the music of twinkling stars. A little tribute to the One who held my palms so tightly, ever as yet— Watching my steps, she walked her way, the first of its kind: a year-dream drawn seemingly in the blink of an eye. What words can describe my fair lady for what magic she has wielded in my life? As a rainbow which has risen with 14 colors! As like an ocean's largeness, absorbing the blue lands, red skies, you have come upon my life as Goddess’s grace on me—the little ‘me’! To see my prayers reach the altar that pleases only the God. Like a little stream, I have been running along— Harsh slopes, gusty forest, dwindling rocks! Ups and downs, rises and falls; journey toward my Ocean Mother is a test of times, and quite too long.

Sometimes the world appears so significant! More significant, it appears, "me" in such a World I love the games where there is a downfall.

In the chaos, in the debris, in the imperfection... My light shines better! Oh Guilt! Are not you the cause in hurry? For the best weapons are wielded against treachery? Flames of seeking gather storm! Is not the purpose of the light realised better in darkness? This is a fir...

Auspicious time

It has been an auspicious time, I would say, these past one month or so has been! Should we call all good goodie happy times of celebration alone as auspicious? Might if it would be in a clean house, when the beautiful traditional lamp is lit, it lights up an aura of blessed poise and sense of auspiciousness! But the world we live, these modern times, Are our houses clean? The House- that is our World, the Country, the State, the society, the Self!! So what happens when the "Light" comes, we say "darkness" is removed! What it means to be removal of darkness? - The expose of the ugliness, the dirt, the filth within and without- of House. Coming to the subject, Yes, past one month or so has been a blessed auspicious time for this county- so many scandals exposed, so many masks teared and paraded naked-North, South, East and West- Nothing excluded. Commonwealth games scam, Adarsh house scam, 2G spectrum scam, Radia tapes, Karnataka land scam, Wikileaks, etc. Even way ...
