I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times...
In life after life, in age after age, forever.
My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs,
That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms,
In life after life, in age after age, forever.

Whenever I hear old chronicles of love, it's age old pain,
It's ancient tale of being apart or together.
As I stare on and on into the past, in the end you emerge,
Clad in the light of a pole-star, piercing the darkness of time.
You become an image of what is remembered forever.

You and I have floated here on the stream that brings from the fount.
At the hear of time, love of one for another.
We have played along side millions of lovers,
Shared in the same shy sweetness of meeting, the distressful tears of farewell,
Old love but in shapes that renew and renew forever.

-rabindranath thakur

Flowers are Love's truest language; they betray, Like the divining rods of Magi old, Where precious wealth lies buried, not of gold, But love--strong love, that never can decay! -Park benjamin

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our dark that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people don't feel insecure around you.We are all meant to shine as children do. Its not just in some of us; its in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsiously give other people to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.-

falling angels

the morning grins at the dew of dawn
heavens jus seemed to have opened their doors
my darling petals and rose of thorns
jus keeps pricking on the darkest nights
a battalion of angels came for the rescue
and the petals smiling thru her pain
dare not see my dark desert
cause the aching seems to go for long
the golden angels shined at me all day
but only at night does the rose buds dew..

Places worthy of praise

THIRUMALAI NAICKER MAHAL,MADURAI

Also,
SRI RAMANASHRAMAM,THIRUVANAMALAI
-
Shri ramana maharishi
one of the memorable trips when i went to india was when i visited thiruvanamalai abt
10 yrs ago.at that time.nobody knew of that place. very few pple visited especially before the rajinikanth followers found out abt it. i remmeber visiting this ashram.RAMANASHRAMam.it was filled with tranquility.nothing but tranquility.I do miss going there. especially because now you can barely walk an inch without the population being a factor.they have this food serving.and its called annathaanam.as in eevryone was seated regardless of caste or religion.and the food served when i was there was rice,raaasam(pepper soup) and potatos .and my mouth still lingers with that heavenly taste. and it has been 10 yrs.My dear friends,i have eaten all kinds of food,but none that tasty and heavenly.it was pure pure vegetarian.i miss that.

I realise that religion is not something of great importantance in stating WHO is god.but actually to understand that god is jus that feeling of doing Good and of belonging to Righteous values and where u attain spirituality.and ofcourse we have religions to fullfull our spiritual needs too.
speaking of which ..i like this quote very much...

You can believe
he who believes in god
you can trust
he who is an atheist
But never can you trust
one who claims he IS god.

To see a world in a grain of sand, And a heaven in a wild flower: Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour.

William blake

I personally think Innocence is more sacred than of a womans chastity.
with innocence you cud see heaven .
at 8 months i only needed a tickle or a smile to be happy,
at 6 i was amused with jus a little toy,
at 12 i had fun with a bicycle,
at 15 i wanted a stereo system,
at 18 i wanted my own car,
now at 20 i jus want my innocence back.
can u get that back though?

A wounded deer leaps highest, I've heard the hunter tell; 'Tis but the ecstasy of death, And then the brake is still. The smitten rock that gushes, The trampled steel that springs,, A cheek is always redder Just where the hectic stings Mirth is mail of anguish, In which its cautious arm Lest anybody spy the blood And, you're hurt exclaim-

If a man is called to be a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job well

Their only home was the streets
well lit and electrifying
for the passerbys
millions walk thru those pavements
only certain pairs stayed that one place
no roof no doors no covers
to be tucked under
for they were left without any identity
for the sake of watchful pity

{Stranded is one thing..
but to be neglected..?}

What is this thing called love?
This funny thing called love?
Just who can solve its mystery?
Why should it make a fool of me?
I saw you there one wonderful day
You took my heart and trew it away
That's why I ask the Lord in Heaven above
What is this thing called love?

adventure is not outside a man, but within..

have u ever thought of takin a sport or a hobby or even maybe a trip to a place youve not been before?I feel personally that desires such as this makes us satisfied of life..you know that small feeling of satisfaction you get after goin for that one lesson that starts u to playin guitar you had always dreamt of
and that leisure stroll near the near by reservior you always wanted time for and never did! i think it will really give a boost to your social life liek never before..i recently went for a vacation in india which i cuddnt even dream of goin to in e mids of my classes and i did..and i learnt alot from goin there...for one i got into my spiritual side more..i had time to think of my family
it all comes down to relaxation and How do u want to do it!

The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions.

i say next off day im gettin another of my wishes granted!

KATHAK
http://www.kathak.org

You've got to sing like you don't need the money,
Love like you'll never get hurt.
You've got to dance like no one is watching,
It's gotta come from the heart, if you want it to work

What is Kathak Dance?

Kathak is among the six major classical dances of India and one of the most dynamic theater arts in the world. The word Kathak is derived from katha, meaning "the art of storytelling." It is also synonymous with the community of artists known as Kathakas whose hereditary profession it was to narrate history while entertaining. With dance, music and mime these storytellers of ancient India would bring to life the great scriptures and epic so ancient times, especially the great Indian epics the Mahabharata and the Ramayana and the Puranas of Sanskrit literature. From its early form as a devotional expression dedicated to the Hindu gods, Kathak gradually moved out of the temples and into the courts of the rulers; the Hindu maharajas and the Muslim nawabs. With these rulers' cultural wealth and preoccupation wi th lavish entertainment, a class of dancing girls and courtesans emerged to entertain the palaces. Much later, during the mid-1800's, Kathak enjoyed a renaissance and gained prominence among the kings and zamindars (feudal overlords) not only as a form of entertainment, but as a classical art form. In the Hindu courts of the vast semi-desert of the principality of Rajasthan, kathak developed in the Jaipur gharana (school), a regional style emphasizing the technical mastery of pure dance. To the east in the court of Wajid Ali Shah, the last nawab of Oudh and himself a student of Kathak, the dance emphasized dramatic and sensuous expression and developed into the style characteristic of the Lucknow gharana. This gharana is said to have originated with Wajid Ali Shah's court dancer Thakur Prasadji. The lineage of Kathak dance can be traced from generation to generation, father to son, guru to disciple. Thakur Prasadji's nephews, Binda Din Maharaj and Kalka Prasad, excelled in the study of Kathak. Binda Din's three nephews, Achhan, Lacchu and Shambhu Maharaj, helped carry the Kathak tradition into the twentieth century. Achhan Maharaj, and upon his death, Shambhu Maharaj, had among his many disciples Ram Narayan Misra and Prohlad Das, respectively guru and father of Chitresh Das.
