Celebrating Children’s Day!
While coming back from an official trip a few days back, my driver stopped the car for a cup of tea in one of the small dhabas that spring up like mushrooms on the highways. As soon as I settled down on a chair close to the window and ordered tea, I noticed a small boy of about 8 years old, bubbling with energy running errands, taking orders, servi... more...

Bulla Ki Jaana Main Kaun
Heard this beautiful song sung by Rabbi Shergil a few days back. Although I liked its music but could not understand it fully so I looked  for its meaning on the net. Finally I got the lyrics. Its one of the most wonderful songs I have heard in recent times. The song conveys  deep and spritual meaning. The lyrics  are written  by a Sufi Saint, Bull... more...

The New Me
Wounds,they hurtkilling me, tearing me apart.The spell of tears flow downEvery thing leaves me,lonelybut remain sufferings and struggles. I make no attemptsto bury it with hollow means.Will it ever go??The pain will surface,againwhen it will find me alone. I rather bring itto consciousness, digging into deeper, making it mineaccepting, embracing, f... more...

The Second Sex
A few days back, a report published in Times of India Gujarat edition caught my attention. It says that 70 to 80 percent of kidneys donated to save the family members come from women. The irony, however, is that women themselves get no kidneys when they need one. In just one hospital in Ahmedabad, as many as 100 women die every year either because ... more...

Some Thoughts
Sometime I wonder if I live in a laboratory. I have no absolute way of knowing what effects my conduct or actions will have. To live my life for the outcome is to sentence myself to continuous frustration and to hang over my head the threat that death may at any moment make my having lived a waste. My only sure reward is in my action, not from them... more...

The prayer of humanity
Lord, protect our doubts, because Doubt is a way of praying. It is doubt that makes us grow as it forces us to look fearlessly at the many answers that exist to one question.. And in order for this to be  possible….Lord, protect our decisions, because making Decisions is a way of praying. Give us the courage, after our doubts, to be able to choose ... more...

The True Meaning of Freedom
Being an only child, books and music had always been good friends to me while at home.  My first induction with Indian literature started from Bengali writings when I was in 12th standard. The intellectual awakening that emerged in Bengal during colonial period gave rise to movement that questioned existing orthodoxies, particularly with respect to... more...

Daffodils
I wandered lonely as a cloudThat floats on high over vales and hills,When all at once I saw a crowd,A host, of golden daffodils;Besides the lake, beneath the trees,Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Continuous as the stars that shinesAnd twinkle on the Milky Way,They stretched in never, ending lineAlong the margin of a bay;Ten thousand saw I at ... more...

Before Love Grows Old
The moon is dim,the sky is silentThe world is quite in the lap of sleepA milky cloud in a faraway  valleyReaches down to caress the mountainHeart heavey with unrequited loveI wait for you, long for youCome soon to me in the springBefore love grows oldBefore the dreams loose all hopesOr life grows tired ofThe vanquished victims of your loveLike ever... more...
