What not is Beautiful in this Beautiful World!?

What not is Beautiful in this Beautiful World!?

Have you ever tried to recall the moment you cried for first in this big world, laying in your mom’s lap? Wasn’t her tear drops were the Most Beautiful thing you had ever seen (if you remember) or you would have to see ever?

The pride on your father’s face looking blank at a ‘newborn you’, overwhelmed with emotions or probably exhausted with the emotions. Wasn’t it the best sight of the beautiful world you had just stepped in?

I don’t remember those moments either, but giving mere a thought leaves me goose-fleshed! The life we are blessed with is full of surprises, happier and awful too. What’s common with all the surprises is the Beauty of Life that is bestowed on us.

Each and everything we knew, are in process of knowing, or have been destined to know, is beautiful! Sun setting in west is as marvelous as one rising in east the other morning; so are the beaches of Arabian Sea and ghats of Ganges. Serene, subtle and beautiful!

Sometimes when a day starts on wrong note, you start with a frown on your face from home; haven’t you ever met a little kid en route, whose million-dollar smile compels you to forget whatever bad has just happened and rejuvenates your soul from within? That’s the beauty of a mere smile….

Who’s the one who hasn’t experienced the glory of innocent love? Being called as the best amongst the folks by the beloved; sweetest girl of the class or the smartest boy of the group…hasn’t it ever struck the best chord of your heart? Haven’t you ever felt how an ordinary-girl next door transforms into the most beautiful girl you have ever seen in the world, when you fell for her? Loveable is the beauty of love! Some become poet, some fail everywhere and some strives for the greatest heights…just for an emotion they can never define, but call it Love! Isn’t it the most beautiful emotion that spreads from a mother to her child, a father to his pride, girl to his man, guy to his lady and so on…so forth…

What not is beautiful in this beautiful world?

There are countless lists of countless things that have their own kind of charm. Be it a ghat of Sahayadris or snow laden tops of Himalayas; the death valleys of California or the lively prairies of North Americas; beautiful birds or shy hippos; beauty pageants or rural women…as far as one can see…beauty is what one can actually feel! Pity for those who have a vision for the darkness, haven’t you ever noticed the beauty of dark night when moon is clothed with a starry gown?

I am not a poet, but even if I would have been, it’s impossible to describe the Beauty of this Beautiful World in words… We don’t need to be someone to cherish it, just be ourselves, the innocent self to live it…

From an old post…

Beauty is in the eyes,the way you see, is the way it is. They say

My heart sees more than my eyes,let me be blind. I feel

Those who really feel that Beauty is everywhere and we are blessed to have eyes, may spare a few more minutes watching this video....

Banned Indian Books

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high; Where knowledge is free; Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls; Where words come out from the depth of truth... Few days back when I came to know about a book on an Indian Business Barron on the Banned Indian Books’ List, the first thing that came in my mind were the lines from Tagore . What an irony, we live in a country, whose forefathers have dreamt about a nation without fear, about a nation with right to speech, right to knowledge; and where the Government enjoys the “privilege” to “freely” ban the books, censor what it feels offensive! Wikipedia describes Banned books as the books whose free access is not permitted. Further it says that the practice of banning books is just another form of censorship, and often has political, religious or moral motivations. In our country, banning books have got its history since the British rule days. In fact, few of the Books

Trekking Ghansoli Gawli Dev (Parsik) Hill

It’s been there for geological ages, we have been looking at it for last about 4years and I have been planning to trek it since a long time. Finally, few weeks back, we trekked the Ghansoli Hill. Ghansoli Hill is located at the eastern boundary of Ghansoli town, behind our office complex at RCP. The hill or better hillock is a part of small range that separates Kalyan and Navi Mumbai towns. A search on Google Map returns with a name Parsik Hill for it, though there is one more rather famous Parsik Hill in Navi Mumbai. We also found a NewsArticle , that talks about NMMC plans to develop Nature Awareness Centre at this hills and calls it Gawli Dev Hill. Here, we would be calling it Ghansoli Hill . I asked my colleague about it and he readily agreed. The very next Sunday we did it with another friend. We weren't aware of the route. All we knew is that a Central Road runs along the western edge of the hill and can be reached through the Vashi-Mhape road. We later found that there’

Riders of the Nation of a Billion - Dimensions and Horizons

Incidentally I wrote a post of my tranformation from just around the corner corporate junkie into a Rider (for sure, still gradually) few days ago. Now, here are the Indibloggers with a Contest for the Bikers of the Nation with Castrol guys . Evolving Biker Code of the Nation When you look at the scenario of Biking in a general sense, you would be attracted by the road-rowdies and rookies who ride to spread nuisance and are mostly acknowledged for their deeds by the newspaper. Hooligans may be the right word. But, once you get involved with the passion, you would be able to see how the passion of Biking, or rather Riding, is evolving in the country where 2-wheelers over-power 4-wheelers by scores of galactic height, but have never earned respect on highways just coz they are the smallest-speeding machine there! I would try to let you through the Indian Riders tale, so that you be able to appreciate how the riders of the Country are working, though in a segregative way
