Wind Day Tune - in Oregon

There's music in the wind
And the trees are dancing
To one of the myriad tunes
That nature plays.
I'm leaving this place now.
But I hope to come back,
Come back here
Some other day.

Need to Question Superstitions!

Need to Question Superstitions!

Many of us acquire some superstitions from older people in our childhood. Superstitions are passed on from generation to generation, no questions asked. But superstitions crumble if they are questioned using scientific knowledge. Perhaps 'An apple a day keeps the doctor away,' was long ago an accepted superstition. Today, no one believes an apple a day is the perfect prescription to avoid falling ill!
Superstitious beliefs survive when we either don't care or don't dare to question them!

On Learning Major Life Lessons!

On Learning Major Life Lessons!

I have realized too late that many important lessons in life on my words or deeds that hurt or hindered someone, even my nearest and dearest, were realized too late for me to make any amends or difference. Had I realized them in time I could surely have mended bridges and, yes, spread and received more happiness. 
I hope my admission will help others: to check out if they have unlearnt lessons.

Love Unlimited!

Love Unlimited!

I don't remember ever yelling at anyone in the family. Or, for that matter, anyone else. (But I may have...and forgotten it.) At present I'm with my son and family in north-western U.S. A few days ago I said something that annoyed him...that I would like to go back and stay alone in India for some time. He started screaming at the top of his voice: 'Rubbish! Utter rubbish! You think you're growing any younger?' Etcetera, etctcetera! I was silenced, stunned! He walked off. But within minutes he came back in tears. Sobbing, he hugged me, saying, 'Sorry, Popo! I lost my cool.' 'Yeah, son, it's one of the lessons we've got to learn in life. Never to lose one's cool.' He has called me by many names. And the latest is Popo.

Later I thought of all the love I have received in my life. And I realized it was unlimited.
From my parents it was Love Unlimited!
From my beautiful and gentle wife it was Love Unlimited, a love that bound north and south of the country, transcending all the traditional divisions that disunite people. (Though I had lived my early life in Bombay, my parents were from the southernmost state.)
And from my children who moved to the U.S. too, it's always Love Unlimited!
