.....Holy Ablution to the SUN....
....Post morn clinic marathon , warmth of the Sun is welcome change as I hit the street as usual , hurtling back to base , as hot lunch with school returned children , their equally hot cacophony of a narrative of their day , finally garnished up with the Post Tang , Post Sung dynasty Chinese renaissance pages waiting to be devoured , with the deep blu in the background thru the panes ....Sun God must touch me intently today as I prayed early morn offering floral & water tributes on the Occasion of Culmination of Chhath Pujan today....as the sun bathed return is solicited , thr is definitely a sprightly movement .....day in day out blessed r we soaking in the infinite energy of the Sun ....growing , expanding our progeny ...The holy ablutions to the Sun , reinvigorating our spirits ....Long Live Our Festivity ....!!!!!

"....One life is Enough ...."
...the most important voice I need to hear is tht of Ma on my B'day ....it was no unusual ....as early...as her razor sharp voice crackled on the ether wishing me " Happy B'day " & my day is made ....in her late seventies her voice continue soothening my unruffled feathers as always , as I am soaring , soaring high as the way she wanted , just as the way she prayed for me at the very first day of my life in the Temple town of Lord Shiva : " Baidyanath dham "....She always prayed for my longlife , healthy life ...three words of "Dhirgojeevi , Nirog , Nikhunth.."...always would come from her & today was no unusual ....these three words hv kept me alive ....today also is "BhaiPhonta"...whr Sisters wud pray for their brother's long life .....my sisters prayed , called me , put a Tilak Chandan on their Puja Ghar wall, as they used to anoint us on our foreheads whn we were together....this the double benefit I had on this day....I thank God for whtever I got both material & immaterial ...tht I saw Nature so naturally ....tht my Parents Loved me with all their might; a loving fmly to support ; shud I say one Life is enough .....!!!!

....Happy Deepawali....
....Frm across the Laccadive sea ....Wishing all frnds & fmlys A very happy Deepawali ...Expat tht we are far away , tucked in an island in the Indian ocean , weathering the nature & its ferocity at times , we r geared up to usher in the festival of lites ...the pious flame of hope in the deepak lit , ensconced by our palms of our fmly , withstanding the sea breeze ....Festivity away frm Indian mainland , a tough call indeed , but we hv learnt our lessons well enough ...as to its value...redeeming ourselves as Newer avatars of forbearance & resilience with all our comrades here ...I extend a huge diwali greetings to those who couldn't make it home ...Let this festival of lite lit our home & hearth with eternal warmth ....!!!
