Diwali - Good over evil, really?
Diwali, the festival of glitter and shimmer. If you want to see India in its utter insanity come at Holi. If you wish to see India's divinity and prosperity come during Diwali. It is the longest festive season in India. There are few special features or myths ,as west would be comfortable calling, about this festival.
- Diwali marks the triumph of good over evil.
- On Diwali, Goddess Laxmi blesses all her devotees with wealth and prosperity

There are friends & strangers, there are no enemies
Friends, I hear this word million times a day, directed to one person or the other. Innumerable SMS have been typed, sent, forwarded to the extent of being termed spam. Thanks to 'har ek friend zaroori hota hai', you must have received the complete lyrics of that advertisement on your iPhone. Yeah, the reason why your nokia 1600 got choked yelling ' OMG itna lamba'. Like love, friendship can never be understood in terms of reason, extent and need. No matter how much we talk about it, I reckon unlike love it is one of the most underrated relationship. One would do almost everything for a lover. The word almost is just a safe option. But when it comes to friends limits pop up, out of nowhere. Everyone understands that bit of difference, not because they are understanding enough but because they also do the same sort of caste-ism, gender bias to be more precise.
Rain Drops - Stars from the Sky | Poem
A man complained to his deity,
I hate when the clouds cover up the sky...
Hiding the stars that once shined bright..
Turning the world grey and gloomy..
He replied I don't have anything to hide from you son,
The clouds drop the stars one by one..
Don't try to hold them, they'll flow,
Imbibe them in your eyes, and they'll glow...
God - In Heaven and On Earth
God is omnipresent | (Click image to Enlarge) |
Scriptures have long taught us that God existed in visibly active form. God has assumed an all powerful yet dormant form. He's always there around us, we can see him but we don't. He somehow has struck a right balance between what we should know about him and what we should not.
People sometimes end up questioning his very existence. If you observe closely there is a sweet analogy of what we have here on earth and what God has for us in his treasury. We might ignore a small pigeon on the roof, but when we see it spreading its wings across the clouds, shining with the sun. We start admiring it.
God prevails among us unnoticed on this very earth. Don't search in the clouds. Value him in every form he manifests himself in.
He is there..
He is here..
