God is within you !

Do I believe in God?

Its like asking - Does a fish believe in water ?

Well to answer, Yes. I believe enough to see his omnipresence.

R. Buckminster Fuller said, God to me, it seems is a verb not a noun. Once I viewed God as a verb instead of a noun my perception of life shifted.

Everywhere it was the manisfestation of God.

Everything I spoke,I listened.

Karma
overtook everything.

The small shift from noun to verb may be the antidote to the forbidden fruit that banished us from Eden.

You will start saying God is within you.

Run Forrest, Run…

In today’s BhagamBhag world, its quite hard to maintain one’s pace with that of mighty and never-beatable time.
Inspite of our daily tryst with the countdown timer of the stopwatch,we couldn’t match our pace with that of intermittent tick-ticks of the analog watches tied up on our wrists.

Nevertheless,
Some run for money, Some run for fame
Some run for fitness, Some run for game
Some run for life, Some run for gain
Some run from failure, Some run in vain.

To Score consistently,one needs to Run Runs.

Run and leave more footprints to be followed.

Run Forrest, Run…

I-Day Celebrations with a difference !!


This 15th of August India turns 62. I salute the Spirit called India.
I got an opportunity to spend some quality time with the students of a Government School, in whose hands the future of India lies.


It was a really a nice experience. I never felt so happy and content in my life after bringing the smile on their innocent faces.

There were a many things i carried from that place as remembrances.
There were kids 5-6 yrs of age coming for delivering speech on the dais and forgetting their lines. Moreover, I was mesmerized by the promptness of a few kids who were rushing on the dais and offering a hand shake making me feel like a celebrity. We were to distribute sweets at the end of the function and there was a trail of kids following us right from the dais to the sweet distribution point. I don't know why but i felt a sense of belonging out there with those deprived kids. one of them coming and calling us an Indian Santa on I-Day.

Lastly, I could not forget the faces of those thousand kids glimmering with hopes of getting something better, their innocent but meaningful acts, their desire to perform and scale high in life and their smile so ingenuous and pure that it would make all the barriers vanish and above all you can hardly ignore it.
