LIFE...

Into the dark nights we stroll across
to wake up to the sunny skies,
The sky so blue,the feeling so new
The grass so green,our hearts so keen
Into a new journey we stride forward
unaware of what is in store for us,
The wind that blows on to your face
The soft rain that bathes us in its purity,
The smile you can bring on others face
The warm hug even at the worst times,
These may not seem like the gifts we wanted
but take a moment to enjoy all these,
As we never know when we may no be able to,
By the time you realise what you have lost
it may be too late that you can't turn it back

PEACE

There are days when you feel
the days are long
and the nights are short,
And there are days when you feel
the nights are long
and the nights are short,
With a mind like a butterfly
never stable at any place,
We jump from one place to another
in pursuit of what no one knows,
Dreams we have,yet to be followed
Promises we have,yet to be kept
For no one knows where we are going
but one thing is for sure as everyone knows,
All that we finally desire is PEACE

ONGE

We boast of being at the top of the evolution cycle. From being a caveman to a hunter to a civilized man, we have seen it all. It is surprising to see how at one part of the world you find computers and the latest technologies and the other side is scattered with tribesmen who still hunt for food. It amazes me to find how some of the tribes still keep their culture intact despite the interferences in every aspect. One such tribe is the ONGE tribe of Andaman and Nicobar islands. Their culture goes back to 60,000 years and even today they stick to their tribe and its culture. It is still a big question mark how the whole tribe survived the Tsunami without any casualties. The dwindling population of the tribes has been of concern for many years and the issue gained more seriousness when 8 men died of poisoning as they drank some toxic chemical mistaking it for alcohol, thus reducing the total population of the tribe to just a meager 93.But the tribe rejoiced at the birth of a baby boy on December 23rd at the hospital, thus increasing the population to 94 to face the ever challenging world for many more years to come

Happy New Year

Another new year has come and gone. January 1st, the beginning of a whole new year that lies ahead of you. I have always wondered what does this year have in store for me. A day when you tend to straighten your mind to take some real ‘NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS’, meant to be broken sooner than we think. With anticipations and expectations that this year brings lot of better things than last year. I would have to say the best New Year I ever had till now was 2007.Few of us in our apartments came together to celebrate New Year in a big way. Days and days of planning, meeting at the 11th hour, long discussions under the starry sky in the terrace, coming up with crazy events and finalizing none of them, lots of laughs we shared, a few fights we fought,shopping at the last minute, gift wrapping on new year’s eve, handmade backdrop for the stage that took us a whole night to make, midnight snacks,the big night, managing the crowd, announcements to which no one paid attention, the stage that creaked whenever someone danced, the backstage gossips, the minutes we waited eagerly for the clock to strike twelve, and came the most anticipated moment 12 O’clock. And we all shouted Happy New Year. A Beautiful memory still evergreen in my heart.....

HOPE

When things were going gr8
there came a break,
bringing loads and loads of problems
into the ever problamatic life.
When the person u trust the most
doesnt understand you,
and you understand
why they dont understand you.
It's the worst of the times
that makes you think it can never be better,
but i still do wake up tomorrow morning
with a thought in my head,
that soon things are going to be alright
because without hope what is life.

Free Hugs

Okay, so many of us might have noticed the new song jiya se jiya of the latest album connections by the maestro AR Rahman. So a nice concept was shown there ‘FREE HUGS’. There are many a times when all you wanna do is hug someone tight. You feel like hugging someone when you are happy or sad or for no reason. But one thing for sure a hug does make us feel better. Puts a big smile on your face like this :-).

Initially the concept of free hugs was started by a man who is known by all as Juan Mann. It all started on June 30th, 2004, when he landed on Sydney feeling all dejected. Looking all around him he found people hugging each other greeting their loved ones. Having no one to hug him, he took a cardboard and a black marker and made a sign saying “FREE HUGS”. He went to the busy Pit Street Mall and held the sign for a whole 15 minutes when finally an elderly woman tapped on his shoulder for a hug. She was grieving for the death of her dog and her daughter’s first death anniversary. And being alone now, all she wanted in this world was a hug. Juan went down in one knee and hugged her tight and found her smiling when she walked away. This made him realize that everybody in this world could do with a hug. And what better way rather than to give it free. There was also a ban on his free hugs, which was later resumed after around 1000 peopled signed a petition for him. In the mid of 2006, a band, Sick Puppies published a video in youtube “All are one”, which became the official Free hugs video campaign….

Now FREE HUGS has reached INDIA. With AR Rahman’s jiya se jale playing everywhere, we can be assured that there is going to be spreading of more love in this world
