What’s Your Decision?
The modern man is more interested in the trifle things of life…he is unaware,or we can say least interested in the grave & real things. cell phones, emails, etc have taken the front seat in his life and morals,relationships,values are lying dumped in dickey….where are we taking our lives?……….previously people had feelings, emotions….they had value for human bondings….but look at the modern man…..he is so busy with his cell phone, orkut and facebook accounts,tweets…and manymore things.but he hardly has time to seat beside his ailing mother………..we all are aware of it……………… but are we taking any steps to avoid all this……if we’ll leave the condition as it is prevailing sooner, values, emotions, feelings will be extinct…………………and all the trifle things of modern day will dominate our lives….
Decision is in your….or should I say our hands. We’ve to decide whether we want emotional bonding……………….or shallow social networking status?

An Encounter With God……
In early morning when the morning dew was strewn all over the green grass & a soft music was coming from some far off valley….I found someone walking in the fields….his pace was slow& it was seen from far that he was wearing a pure white robe….I was standing at my doorstep…and he was seen walking in the nearby field of my home…I decided to follow him…as I was curious to know who he was? The soft music was very mesmerizing…and unknowingly my steps began to move towards that unknown identity…..the morning air…was very refreshing…and a rich fragrance was present in the air….the soft breeze which was blowing in the morning was saying something unknown & incomprehensible to me…I was slowly following that figure…suddenly I realized that this dawn was now converting itself into morning….soft sunrays were coloring the vast azure sky…the sky was changing its hue…and the environment was becoming more beautiful and gentle….I increased my pace so that I can come close to that figure…I was too curious to know who he was …..but the moment the sun rose…and its first rays fell on the dew dropped grass…and brightness started creeping in the environment…that figure was lost….I searched for it here & there…but he was no where…I felt as if the sunrays took him inside it…I found that I was alone in the field…which was looking absolutely beautiful & at the same time I felt that….was he God? who came on earth to have a glance at his creation……but I’m not sure, But still I feel it was an encounter with God…though I was unable to see his face but his mysterious appearance in the field during morning….and then sudden disappearance…proves that no doubt he was God or some Heavenly spirit….
I came back home…..had my morning tea…and then went to work…but this heavenly experience brought a new life force in me and since then every morning I wake up early and go to the fields in search of God…or that Heavenly spirit…but still his second visit is awaited……….

A Day To Remember………..
(A Dedicatory Post)
Wednesday,19th oct,2010: Today we both had a gala time…you must be wandering who’s this second one….both means(Abhilasha & me; dedicatory post)…today we both spent our day together & had a talk on n number of things………….tomorrow she is going back to her place & I’ll be leaving for Varanasi on 23oct..I thought it’s been long since I made any post…to be very frank my flair for writing has taken a back seat but I thought I must share my whole day experience with my readers. Hope you’ll like it…..firstly we both went to college, spent some time with our teachers & our juniors. Then I went to Abhilasha’s place & I must tell you aunty (Abhi’s mom) prepared all my favorite dishes, so had a fab lunch too. Then abhi & me talked about a number of things, we saw a number of pics, watched videos on net….& did many more things. In total the day was awesome & from the clock of eternity, it was one of the best & one of the most memorable days of my life…..Thanks goes to my darling Abhi…it was her presence which made everything so perfect & beautiful. Hope we both had many more fun-filled days in the coming future…..sending lots of love & best wishes for her……………
I know, this is more a personal post…but…dear readers…my endeavor through this post was not to share my day only…but at that same time I wanted that all of you after reading this post ponder over your life & think about those cherished moments which you have spent with your dear & loved ones……..& I’m sure a sweet, soft & memorable smile will surely come to your face…….
