Merry Christmas !!

I am in Edmonton, Canada for the Christmas week. It is darn cold out here where -30 seems to be a common temperature for most (uh oh :) ) But today even with this chill I feel particularly warm. I ponder for a while only to realise that it is the Christmas warmth all around me :)

Anywhere I see, I see light. Blues, reds and greens. Disparate colors yet the when they come together nothing could be more homogeneous. The picture is just too perfect. I am loving it :)

The pleasant sight of Mother Mary holding Jesus, Rudolph being hung on many doors, small children meddling around the hanging christmas socks and eagerly awaiting arrival of their dear Santa Claus is unparalleled. This festivity and merry brings nothing but a sense of calm. Reassuring that world is still a good place to live.

In current times when we hear of nothing but depressing economy, people of one religion killing others over god and land, I feel these festivities reinstate the fact that all religion preach goodness and prosperity for humanity in general.

Our ancestors strived hard to give us a world where we found love and peace. Our generation abused everything we inherited. If only we remember that the earth we live today is something that we have merely borrowed from our children then may be we will all stop this slaughter one day.

Here's hoping that we give our children an earth full of love and respect. Amen.
Merry X'mas to all.

Adios

I am loved :)

Someone wrote this for me... just the right kind of thing when I felt unloved and uncared :)

You only dream about the perfect girl. She is usually a work of fiction, an artist's imagination, or a poet's verse. She lights up your day, and makes your heart jump with joy with every look at her. She is intelligent, beautiful and makes you feel alive.

Most lives are lived with only imagining such a beauty. Reading about her, watching her on screen, thinking about her in your dreams.

But i know of one such girl. She is strong and smart. Opinionated and emotional. She radiates a natural warmth that makes you fell happy to be around her. You long for her attention, and your day feels fulfilled even if she bestows upon u as much as a kind smile.

She has the beauty of the girl on the magazine at whom you can stare for hours. She sounds just like the song that fills your heart with joy and you have to listen to it over and over again. She smells like the fragrance that takes you home to a feeling of warmth and peace.

Ammu, you are that girl. You have the ability to make a thousands hearts bleed. It is impossible not to love you. It is impossible to ignore you. You have the words that captivate and the the personality that influences and the beauty that captures hearts.

With every day i know you, see you speak to u.. I am a better person.
