Sam Manekshaw, a Soldier’s General

Friday, June 27th, 2008

Though he called it off before I was born however it is a well known fact the Field Marshal never retires and the rank is conferred for life. I guess in Sam Maneskshaw’s case it will be till eternity.

I have heard so much about him that getting to know that he is in comma and subsequently parted ways with life left me sad. Indeed a hero he was or rather he is. We will surely remember his contribution forever to what we are at present. Thanks Sam. I will miss you.

Khalil Gibran, The Prophet

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

Recently I had a chance to read some of the work of Khalil Gibran……

Amazing ! How beautiful a person could think and write. I read Ghalil Gibran’s The Prophet.  He simply portrays his belief in the overwhelming power of love in human nature. Outstanding indeed. One of his poem that I liked a lot was on Children. Indeed worth reading and relating …

Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

A Night out with myself

For me taking out time for myself is a luxury which I cannot afford at any cost. I believe it is for anyone who is into too many roles at the same time and trying to do justice to each one. :-) Aadat ho gayee hai ab to.

After such a long time I listened to sufi kalam… I do not have words to express the feelings. bahut hi badiya.

Check this out.
