Flame

I am the flame and I am the dry bush, and one part of me consumes the other part.
... Kahlil Gibran.

Hues of colors

Sunset at Cochin marine drive, clouds weave a tapestry of colors, combination of colors created an extraordinary display to the sunset. It was bliss and my heart was filled with gratitude and peace.

Supreme Truth

He is one. He is omkar, the supreme truth.
He is the creator, beyond fear, beyond rancor.
His is the timeless form.
Never born, self-creating.
He is attained by the guru's grace.
He was truth before the ages and as time ran its course.
Nanak says : Now is he truth eternal, and forever will he be.

We cannot comprehend him though we think a million times;
Nor quiet the mind by silence, however long we sit;
Nor a mountain of bread appease the hunger of the soul;
Nor one hundred thousand feats of mind achieve unity with him.
How can truth be attained and the veil of falsehood torn?
Nanak says : By submission to the divine order which is
preordained.

From : Japuji-Saheb of Guru Nanak Dev.

Currently reading a book by Osho on Japuji-saheb of Guru Nanak Dev,

when reading brings so much tranquility, I wonder what will be the experience,

Silent Sunday

silent sunday,nothing to write, was a witness to events that happened around me. Took pictures to convey what i witnessed or felt.

Journey

Life is a journey, it's all about our journey from birth to death. Events happening in between makes our life interesting or boring, makes us happy or sad, fills us with love or hatred.But every day is a new day and we are inching towards our final destination.

Moving trains are always a fascination for me, took pictures of moving train, when I was travelling to Bangalore from chennai by road.

Olive our inhouse tsunami.

Olive the little brat has become one young energetic Angel. She is very sweet, friendly, and mischievous. At the same time she is always on guard and alert.
She makes our life more merrier, joyful and keeps us busy with her mischiefs.
our car and bike are the most affected ones, she has used the car as a canvas,and signed her autograph all over the car. She is fond of bike's accelerator and speedometer cables, I should check out with the company guy about the raw materials being used in manufacturing such cables , she really loves the smell and taste of the cables, and I have already replaced it twice. If i call the mechanic, he is well prepared and asks me can i bring accelerator cable,speedo or both. Lucky guy because of Olive he gets good business, if many such olives are around, mechanics will never experience recession. she does not likes us surfing the internet by ignoring her, she loves internet cable also. Airtel people have already changed the cable more than three times, last time when they came for the same complaint, they have fixed it in such a height that she never reaches it.

In spite of all these things she is AN ANGEL and she is part of our family.

Beautiful Kerala

I am on a official trip to Trivandrum, Kerala. Nowadays my camera has also become part of my baggage, I visited a Govt.office in Trivandrum, It is on top of a hillock, the scenic view from that hillock is amazingly wonderful. The people who are working at this office complex must be real lucky guys. They have made a nice garden and granite benches for people to relax and spend time by just seeing a vast extent of Coconut grooves then continued with Kovalam beach as a perfect back drop. Sitting there, doing nothing and just being a witness for more than thirty minutes, soothed my mind and body, The view is breathtaking.

Hmmm, Kerala as per their tourism department's ad campaign, is really God's own country.
