Beauty with brains

I recently remarked a very graceful lady as beauty with brains lady as she writes so well and her elegance is lovely.....and to my surprise she said you are the first one to call me beauty with brains and i was shocked is it....i was so sure that lady must have always got remarks when in college for her smartness, poise, charisma....and still she says no one called her beautiful.... Why is Beauty only in glam looks... I feel Beauty is about having self confidence, the inner strength and charisma that reflects on face. Being unique in your own special ways the special qualities that you are blessed with. Every women should celebrate herself and not emulate the on screen so called perfections.

Ganpati sthapna

Ganesh Chaturthi or Vinayaka Chaturthi is Hindu festival and is celebrated with great devotion all over the country as well as outside India too by Indians all over the world.  Also called Ganesh utsav, its a 10 day festival which starts on Ganesh chaturthi and ends on anant chaturthi.  Its is believed that Lord Ganesha, the son of God Shiva and Godess Parvati bestows his presence during this festival. Devotees of Lord Ganesha bring home Ganesha idols do the sthapna ( make them seated at a particular place and decorating the place) as per there wish say 1.5 day, 3 days, 5 days, 7 days or 9 days. and then on 10th day i.e. anant chaturthi the idol is immersed in water/ river/ sea...But these days to keep our rivers clean we can immerse idols in tub of water and then once the clay is dissolved it can be used to water plants. Ganesha pooja on the Chaturthi day is usually performed as per the Muh...

Hartalika Puja

Hartalika Puja is performed every year during Shukla paksha tritiya of bhadrapada month. This generally falls one day before "Ganesh Chaturthi" and three days after 'pola' amavasya. On this day statue of God Shiva and Godess Parvati are made of Soil from tulsi flower pot for worshipping. The mud idols are then  worshipped for marital bliss. Its made like this because the story says goddess parvati also did puja of clay shivling in deep forest to pray to have only God Shiva as her husband.... Lot of leaves from different trees and flowers are used for ritual. Next day udyapan is done with nevedyam of curd and rice and then the clay idols are submerged in water.

Birth of moment

In the flash of a second, In the open and close of the eyelid, In the bloom of a flower, In the turn of page, In the heat of the body and calmness of soul a moment is born, to cherish, to remember, to rejoice, to mark as a moment. How life goes on and brain keeps on storing all the details but with time few fade away and few retain on mind. the one's we want to forget are always at the back of our mind and the one's we want to remember slips out of the storage area. How wonderful is this isn't it. Moments are magical data of life, which in turn makes life more interesting and happening. From the dawn to dusk, from opening of eyes to closing at night, from the move we make and the twist life takes, its all a beautiful creation.

Going to library is something which refreshes me like any best of the perfume can do to someone. i went to library today after 6 months as after my second kid i was not able to give time to reading and there i was totally lost. which book to pick and which to leave. it was hard and i was in pool of letters i wanted to stay there only. so i picked up a recent purchase of library and came out. wanna finish the book so i can again go bk and fulfill my urge that was left behind last few months. as i said after 6 months i was reading a book i was suggested to buy a tab or kindle to read but then i gave a thought.......can book be ever compared to electronic gadget? going to library and searching for book is some kind of beautiful feeling getting lost in pool of books wow.... is it possible in kindle store????no no no. if really want to save paper better plant a tree, but books are must and nothing can be compared to them. for me kindle instead of book is like eating spirulina caps...

Bura na mano holi hai!!!

They say bura na mano holi hai but what to do for those jinhe bura lagta hai..... I m one of them who dont like this festival just because people take advantage to get you wet and throw water balloons and shouting bura an mano holi hai. heights man if some one feels bora you cant force him or her not feel bad. It's his /her choice to feel that way. If its only gulal still ok but use to silver and golden colors, using permanent colors adn sprays, using dirty water, use of eggs and liquor i mean where is it written that holi is festival of all these things and not colors....
