  • THE ROLLER COASTER OF LIFE

    November 20, 2009

    • ENJOY THE RIDE!This past Halloween, I visited Six Flags and waited in line for almost two hours to get a ride on the 'Goliath', one of the larger roller coasters in North America. Even in the drizzle and cold weather, I felt warm and prickly inside, excited by the anticipation of the enormous 200 foot climb to the top. Finally, I boarded a car, seated next to a stranger, who was equally charged ...
  • CHANGING THE LIFE STYLE

    November 19, 2009

    • I am trying to create a new life style. Aiming for a Life style where the wholistic (we are all one) p.o.v. is evident, spirituality present and love omniscient. Currently humanity is fear infested.  This hostile environment creates a barrier, and denies nature its inherent changes.  I am in constant search to understand Self, for in understanding my Self I understand yours.  I find ...
  • Peace. Do you really want peace?

    November 18, 2009

    • Peace! Everyone says they want peace. We pray for peace, not war. When people die, we prefer saying, "They went to their rest." We don't like saying, "They are dead."Peace. Where would we writers be if the world were really at peace? No wars or crimes to write about. Hardly anything for the news outlets to report about.Sure, peace is better than war but how much peace could ...
  • Jigsaw Puzzle Cows

    November 18, 2009

    • Melancholy day. Melancholy if you allowed it to be, if you allowed the sullen glob of sky, a heavy grey like substance squeezed from a tube, that is long past its expiry date, to penetrate and smother you with its dreary suffocating smear. And the fields around us have all  transformed into brown lakes, the result of the deluge in the past few days  and the poor bewildered cows, ...
  • An Actor's Life

    November 13, 2009

    • Is a story salacious because of what it is or how it has been portrayed? Is it about the man or other people's perspective? Indian actor Om Puri's wife has written his biography. He publicly lambasted her for revealing his sexual encounter with his 55-year-old maid Santi when he was 14; then followed a long affair with a woman for 14 years.(He is now an internationally-recognised actor with ...
  • Manifest Destiny

    November 10, 2009

    • Curiously, I have been a prisoner of my own mind, awaiting someone or something to release me. Thoughts and perceptions had deceived me into thinking I  possessed an open mind as I watched life through a glass prison door. A catalyst move me; a liberator of perspective relinquished the hold and removed the walls of my unconscious incarceration.Choosing to live freely and happily is a challenge ...
  • The Treachery of Taps

    November 10, 2009

    • A few days ago they said there would be no water for 24 hours in some parts of the city. We filled buckets and empty vessels and covered them up ever since it was discovered that mosquitoes now prefer clean water. One container was too broad, so I used a newspaper over it and as the hours passed the paper got wet, as though it had been sucked in. Nothing was legible except the patch. The taps did ...
  • My Simple Philosophy on Life and how I Got Here

    November 10, 2009

    • This is my simple religion.  There is no need for temples, no need for complication.  One's own  mind, one's own heart is the temple, and loving-kindness is the philosophy. - Dalai Lama I live my life on four philosophies: 1: Always speak to a person as if the words I'm saying may be the last words they hear from me.2: If I have fences to mend with people I care about, I mend them ...
