Creating New

Turning the leaves of my album
I learnt
In a bid to walk with time
I created many new alliances
Irrigating with love & care.
Old relations were snapped
Few left us
Some bid adieu forever
Few were deliberate pull outs
Some dissolved in the air.


Initially,
I believed
I couldnтАЩt walk in the absence 
Of the people
I started my life with.


Slowly
Got busy in chasing life
Without looking back.
New hands approached
Replacing old.
Old ones left silently
Snapping the strings.


Now
after walking miles & miles
I find myself
In a crowd of only new faces
Replacing the Old.
Firming my belief
ItтАЩs a part of life
Where you part with
Creating spaces for new.


None can deny
Time is the best healer
Time is the best teacher.

Happy Halloween

(Mobile Clicks on the occasion of Halloween at Belmont, California – Mezee Street)

“Halloween is an opportunity to be really creative.–Judy GoldтАЭ
Halloween is celebrated on 31st October every year. Halloween is the modern name of an ancient Celtic holiday, тАЬSamhainтАЭ.
Halloween has always been a holiday filled with mystery, magic and superstition. It is believed to be a Christianized feast influenced by Celtic harvest festivals.
Halloween is the oldest holidays celebrated in a number of countries around the globe, it is famous in Christians. It is considered to be тАЬThe Day of the Dead, which honors deceased loved ones and ancestors.тАЭ  It is designed to honor the departed soul which is believed that they come down on this earth on the day of Halloween.
It is a time of celebration and superstition and is considered to be the day when the deceased souls descend down on the earth and people decorate the altars to the dead in their homes decorating them with candyтАЩs, flowers, photographs, samples of the deceasedтАЩs favorite foods & drinks and fresh water. Candles & incense are burned with a belief that the souls are able to find their way to home. It is said that on this day, the spirits of the dead come back to earth in search of living bodies to possess for the next year and try to return to the homes where they were living. So to appease these spirits, people offer those fruits and nuts. If the spirits are not pleased, it is feared that the spirits would kill the people or destroy their property.
There are many beliefs to it but all revolves around that the souls visits earth, ghosts, witches etc. and to ward them off people burn bonfires. Halloween costumes are traditionally modeled after supernatural figures such as vampires, monsters, ghosts, skeletons, witches, and devils. People especially children dress up in costumes of ghosts and witches and play pranks on each other. Black and Orange are the famous color for this day.
The Jack-o-lantern is the festival light for Halloween. Pumpkin is a good substitute of the turnip, to be used as Jack-o-lantern.
Trick-or-treating is a traditional celebration for children on Halloween. Children in their costume go from house to house, asking for treats, with a question, “Trick or treat?”
The word “trick” refers to a threat to trouble the homeowners or their property if no treat is given. People generally give candy
to the children who come to their house.

Nowadays many schools and churches arrange Halloween parties for the kids. People usually have parties, wear Halloween costumes, do bonfires, tell and read scary stories about witches, skeletons, bats and ghosts and also watch horror movies.

A traditional food eaten on Halloween is barnbrack, a kind of fruitcake that can be bought in stores or baked at home. A muslin-wrapped treat is baked inside the cake that, it is said, can foretell the eaterтАЩs future.

If a ring is found, it means that the person will soon be wed; a piece of straw means that a prosperous year is on its way.

Children are also known to play tricks on their neighbors, such as тАЬknock-a-dolly,тАЭ a prank in which children knock on the doors of their neighbors, but run away before the door is opened.

Haunted attractions are entertainment venues designed to thrill and scare patrons. Most attractions are seasonal Halloween businesses.

The kids enjoy the most indulging in playing pranks, partying, singing and dancing around the bonfires and dressing in weird costumes creating scary scenes and now many business make grand some in helping the people in the celebration and partying of Halloween and even a sizable amount is spent on the scary costumes especially designed for this day. The world has shrunk due to connectivity so it is far spread in most of the Christian population.

тАЬIt’s said that All Hallows’ Eve is one of the nights when the veil between the worlds is thin – and whether you believe in such things or not, those roaming spirits probably believe in you, or at least acknowledge your existence, considering that it used to be their own. Even the air feels different on Halloween, autumn-crisp and bright.тАЭ –Erin Morgenstern

WISH YOU ALL A HAPPY HALLOWEEN DAY. 

ENJOY THE DAY FULL OF PRANKS

Happy Karwa Chauth

                                                           Image Source: Google

The festival of Karwa Chauth is
celebrated nine days before Deepawali, the festival of lights. According to the
Hindu calendar, it falls on the fourth day of the Karthik month (one of the
months of Hindu calendar). This festival is mostly observed by married Hindu
woman of the North India but due to globalization & itтАЩs promotions on
daily soaps on idiot box, it has gained populace and it is been observed by
womenfolk of other places too. ItтАЩs no more confined to the homes of North
Indian folks.


This fast is observed for the welfare, longevity & well-being of their
husbands. It has cultural and social importance attached to it and it is observed
with gaiety and show. The best part is the dressing up in colorful red, maroon
or other bridal colors, heavy jewellery, adorning their hands & feet with
beautiful intricate designs of mehendi, colorful bangles along with the tedious
fast. The women have the weakness for heavy clothing and make up so it is one
of the best occasion to pamper themselves and allure their husbands with their
beauty and the male counterparts readily part with a good sum allowing their
wives to indulge in shopping spree of their choice. The womenfolk are the best
ones to indulge into it and they enjoy in the process. Nowadays, the role of beauty
salons and spa is also there in this festival season & they come up with
great offers and discounts and the ladies leaves no chance in over indulgence.

Even in markets, heavy sarees, cosmetics and jewellery in great designs in vogue are in display to allure the customers. The restaurants are gaining popularity in this festival as people throng with their families for the occasion, so they too gear up with special offers with specialties of dishes in high demand at exorbitant rates, so there is a commercialization of the festival too.
This festival is an expression of love. There is a tradition of gift in this festival by the husbands, mother-in-laws and the elders of the family. It is a golden chance to receive expensive gifts and items of indulgence, so married woman welcomes this festival with great fervor and enthusiasm and look forward for the gifts. The markets come up with special gifts catering the demands of each set of customers.



Sargi is one of the important
ritual of this fast in which the ladies prepare food before sunrise and eat before
sunrise. During the day, the ladies are in fast and in the evening when the
moon rises, it is worshipped and the enticing part is that the observers break
their fast with water their husbands offer after moon worship, this emotional
touch adds wonderful hues to it.




In daytime, after getting decked
up in colorful and bridal wears (newly wedded), the woman gather up in temples,
garden or at someoneтАЩs place with puja thali decorated with pious items. An
elderly lady narrates the story of the Karwa Chauth legend and the thali is
rotated in the group. It is more of fun and frolic associated with Karwa
Chauth.


In evening, the woman gather on
their roofs, balconies or ground and wait for the moon to rise in the sky and
they see the reflection of it in the water of the thali or through sieve or
through their dupattas and they offer water to the moon and seek blessings
praying for the well-being of their life partners and the husbands offer water
to their wives to break their fast.

In evenings, special vegetarian
dishes, sweets etc are made to relish with family and friends with great pomp
and show. Singing and dancing on the occasion are also one of the best thing of
this festival.
There are many legends or tales associated
with  its origin & significance of
Karwa Chauth.


  1.      The
Story of Satyavan & Savitri.
When Lord Yama came to fetch
SatyavanтАЩs soul, savitri pleaded him to grant life. When he refused, she
stopped eating & drinking and followed Yama who carried her dead husband. Yama
asked her to ask some other boon except for the life of her husband. Savitri asked
to be blessed with and Yama agreed. Being a devoted wife, she wouldnтАЩt allow
anyone except for her husband to touch her and Yama had to bow down and restore
the life of Satyavan.

   2.     
The Legend of Karwa
A
woman named Karva was deeply devoted to her husband. Her intense love and
dedication towards him gave her shakti (spiritual power). While bathing at a
river, her husband was caught by a crocodile. Karva bound the crocodile with a
cotton yarn and asked Yama (the god of death) to send the crocodile to hell.
Yama refused. Karva threatened to curse Yama and destroy him. Yama, afraid of
being cursed by Pati-vrat (devoted) wife, sent the crocodile to hell and
blessed Karva’s husband with long life. Karva and her husband enjoyed many
years of wedded bliss. To this day, Karva Chauth is celebrated with great faith
and belief.


It is a joyous occasion and the over indulgence adds beauty to
it and the silver screens has added more significance to this great festival.

Wish all the ladies, тАЬA very happy, colorful and enjoyable Karwa
Chauth, pamper yourself in the best possible and enjoy the day to its fullest
amidst family and friends and a special day for the couples to strengthen their
bond in a circle of emotions with the strands of loveтАЭ

When My Heart Kissed Your Soul!

She is the Angel

A special girl       

 Gifted by the Almighty         

 Heart winning smiles           

 Expressive eyes           

 Which conveys all        

 Without a touch of a word            

 A Lovely soul      

 Attracting all the passers-by.        

 Emerged out of the womb    

 Idle & quiet        

 Without a feel or reaction            

 Of change          

 From darkness    

 To light      

 Lacking the power       

 Of recognition & feel.          

 The parents        

 The extended family            

 Concerns rose high      

 Finding her different           

 From the others          

 It raised suspicion       

 Spilling out         

 Numerous queries & reactions.    

 In distress & dismay    

 They searched for the saviour       

 A Messiah to       

 Help her out       

 To be normal like all.          

 Reached all        

 Doctors      

 Saints        

 Bowing their heads      

 To each Durbar           

 Temples    

 Churches            

 Mosques    

 With a belief      

 She is cured.      

 It is not a disease        

 That medicine can cure       

 It is an impairment      

 Congenital issue          

 The thing she has to carry    

 All her life.        

 All were dumb    

 To hear the declaration       

 The conclusion, the doctors drew          

 Asking Almighty          

 Why we were blessed          

 With a curse to a life.          

 Time passed       

 Years rolled by           

 All got attuned           

 She is lucky        

 To have caring siblings         

 Never is she ignored    

 Even for a single second.      

 Her heart winning smiles      

 Her friendly winks       

 Befriends all.      

 She is cursed      

 To live a life     

 Of shortcomings          

 Parents      

 Siblings      

 Family & Well Wishers         

 Showers all the affections    

 She is the lucky charm of all.        

A special child of God┬а┬а ┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а ┬а

 We all are blessed

To have her around      

 Has Strewn All  

 In One Single Thread.

Thank You Teacher!!!

I was the first one in my family
to be admitted to one of the prestigious missionary schools, Notre Dame
Academy, Patna. In seventy’s, there were very few schools and it was a matter
of pride (for the parents) to get admitted in one of them, though the admissions
were very easy at that time compared to today’s scenario. Nowadays, parents are
losing their sleep and peace of life in errand of getting their wards admitted
to a proper school.
I was admitted in KG and a school
uniform was there for the kids of kindergarten, white half shirt, red skirt,
red tie and black shoes & white socks. On the first day, my uncle dropped
me to school on his cycle. The school building withstood in a very big campus
sprawled into acres and the campus and the building was immaculately clean and
a beautiful garden adorned with beautiful roses in full  bloom in the peak season of
winters. ( In our time, we had a school session- Jan. to Dec.)
On the first day, introduction was carried of all
the students and class teacher. I donтАЩt remember the name of my first teacher,
but the first teachings of her imprint in my mind & itтАЩs as fresh as it is
a matter of yesterday.
There would have many lessons imparted by the teacher,
but I adhered to two of her requests or commands, whatever it can be termed as
throughout.
1.      Never
pluck flowers from the school gardens, It looks good in the garden. It will die
when you will pluck out.  Do you wish to
see them dying?
2.      Keep
your mouth closed while eating. We are human, not animals.
Her words had such an impact on me that throughout
my school life, I never ever touched any flowers, plucking was a far fetched
idea. There were students who plucked the flowers and kept them in their bags
to conceal from the teachers. I was a shy and introvert student and preferred to
remain calm & quiet. I never ever asked anyone to refrain from the idea,
but I never did. The idea of her had such an impact in my life that I am in the
habit of plucking flowers from my garden too. I love watching them bloom &
I hate the idea of plucking them to offer to the Gods. Even God will love
watching them in the garden, itтАЩs my belief. I donтАЩt impose my idea, but itтАЩs
my feeling of my inner conscience.
Since the day my teacher asked to keep the mouth
closed while eating, it too became a habit inbuilt and even I advocated the
approach to others citing the same example that’s being human, we should keep
our mouth closed while eating. Nowadays, it has come under the etiquette’s to
follow. In our time, that is more than four decades ago, mostly there were
joint families in the house, and the elders were so busy with household chores
that they didnтАЩt have so much time to give to the kids and make them follow
these little gestures. Even people had kids in half a dozen or so unlike today,
even two are counted as more than enough and couples wish to have a single child,
that too in a much planned way.
The first lessons of my teacher were etched in my memory
and till today I adhere to the same principle and even I impart the same to all.
ItтАЩs true that the minds of young children are like clay and it can be molded
into a proper shape on time.
I am thankful to her.
Thank You Teacher!!!
