How i'll be seduced!!!

She may not have a deadly looks,
Not even a flamboyant style,
Nor a body like a model,
Or a monalisa like smile.

Nor a sophasticated dressing sence,
Or a taste of modern art,
But i'll still fall for her,
Yes she will take away my heart.

By flaunting what she'll have,
And with that my heart will be stoled,
With a ramp-model like flamboyance,
When she'll flash her beautiful soul.

A Salute to Mumbai

Of green, white and saffron,
You choose to paint me red.
And I stared into the dying eyes of,
Your sisters and brothers who bled.

But I wiped their tears,
And protected my child.
I gathered my pieces,
I have learnt to smile.

The cruelty and madness
Was visible all around
But yet we all saw,
The hope survived.

Broken and bruised,
But my spirit did not die.
The world moved on,
And so shall I.

Never felt more proud of being a part of this great city.Now someone try calling it the rudest city in the word.

It was really inhuman what happened on 11/7 but do remember our enemies are not Pakistanis or Osama or LeT....Its hatered.And if you feel hatered in your heart...its winning.Just give peace a chance.

An elated experience :)

Few days ago I went to this Buddhist monastery situated in a mountain near coorg. It was an amazing experience being there. Most part of the monastery was made of gold and was full of giant idols of lord Buddha in a massive room

Just being there makes one realize that how small entity we are in front of this massive universe. I was very much influenced by being there and since my return, I had been doing lots of reading about Buddhism. Some of the teachings of Buddhism, specially Zen Buddhism are amazing. I am now just waiting for my college to start so that I can get my hands onto some more books(from our library) on this subject.

It was definately an elated experience for me, may be just what i needed.Here are some of the quotes of zen buddhism that i liked.

Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries.
Without them, humanity cannot survive.

Although gold dust is precious, when it gets in your eyes, it obstructs your vision.

If you wish others to know about your good deeds,
they are not truly good deeds.

If you fear others will find out about your bad deeds,
those are truly bad deeds.

Even offering three hundred bowls of food three times a day does not match the spiritual merit gained in one moment of love.

By amending our mistakes, we get wisdom.
By defending our faults, we betray an unsound mind.

All happiness comes from the desire for others to be happy.
All misery comes from the desire for oneself to be happy.
