Some nostalgic feeling always captures us.We have seen people die natural death without any health problem, under severe health problems or in accidents.Death is itself a mystery. Several questions arise when we talk of death-Who is responsible for causing death? What happens when a person dies? Is his/her identity limited to the photos in which he was being captured? Does the essence of a relation remain only if that relation is actually as physical entity but not as abstract on ? After death what happens to him? Does he take a new birth as a human being or any other form? Can he capture the fear of death? Is the person committing suicide afraid of death? Just unending questions keep on cropping.</P><P>But the definition of death we form in the society is yet related to "Selfishness" as per my perception.Often we find people crying and shouting for the demised. Can I raise a question? Why the person is crying!! He is crying because he would not be able to get the financial or emotional or pyschological support.He feels himself weak and alone.He cries for his support to ensure a win- win strategy. So at this instance we are as worst as animals who is selfish at every edge of life when it comes to materialistic world.</P><P>(This perception of mine applies to those section of people who build relationship for materialistic reasons. Actually I strongly believe in healthy relations, and I do genuinely respect their feeling and emotions.)</P><br><img src="http://ri.rediffiland.com/homepimages/home3/382/eb2f89f8857a5b1d69d960436456a1e4/homep/images/1215153316">]]></description><pubDate>Fri, 04 Jul 2008 11:45:36 +0530</pubDate><link>http://komalasrani.rediffiland.com/blogs/2008/07/04/Death-and-Selfishness.html</link></item><item><title>Me and Ourselves</title><description><![CDATA[<P>Have I ever tried to search out who am I or what is my identity ? I think we all are living just fake lives,we are actually developing a sort of identity what others are expecting from us--reasons could be many like trying to please others, to retain the relationships, to generate love and affection. </P><P>Trying to analyse a human being. The journey starts when a kid is born , he/she has no concern with the people arround, slowly and with developing state, he learns his surrounding people and is attracted towards people and things. He develops liking for his father, mother and other family members. Slowly and slowly, he goes to school and develops liking for school mates and other people whom he finds according to his tastes. Still at this stage, there is innocence in his character.This stage is the best where there is no jealously and mind and heart are clear ,they speak what they think, no conspiracy, no ill thoughts.....The growing stages gets affected by the people arround and the circumstances the kid is brought , it really influences alot and generates a personality trait of the child. Slowly and slowly he enters a professional life , where he cultivates the habit of speaking sweetly and gently to generate favourable conditions. But at some edge, slowly and slowly , at every effort to please others, he gets himself lost. He loses his identity.He just lives to satisfy others and live for others.</P><P>But a stage comes where he wishes to live according to his own choice , his wishes. He wishes to dress up, roam about, eat the things according to his 'own' choice. He tries to search his taste, his likings and dislikings. He tries to live for his own and the search for "me and ourselves" starts.</P><P>I try to find myself  ........</P><P>In the fragnace of the flowers</P><P>In the stillness of silence</P><P>In the vagueness of the wind</P><P>In the fierceness of the fire</P><P>In the steepness of the mountains</P><P>In the chirping of the birds</P><P>In the whiteness of the clouds</P><P>In the brightness of the sun</P><P>In the calmness of the moon</P><P>In the perspective of the road</P><P>In the love of the mother</P><P>In the blessing of the 'Almighty'..</P><P> </P><br><img src="http://ri.rediffiland.com/homepimages/home3/382/eb2f89f8857a5b1d69d960436456a1e4/homep/images/1214895977">]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 01 Jul 2008 12:05:05 +0530</pubDate><link>http://komalasrani.rediffiland.com/blogs/2008/07/01/Me-and-Ourselves-1.html</link></item><item><title>To My 'Valentine'</title><description><![CDATA[<P><FONT color=#006600>Always had been close to me<BR>But hardly did I realise you.</FONT></P><P><FONT color=#006600>I pushed myself to successful moments<BR>I truimped by achieving great heights <BR>I relished every moment of success<BR>But I did never realise the hidden support of the ladders built up to the top of the goal .</FONT></P><P><FONT color=#006600>I faced hurdles with patience and courage<BR>I conquered those hinderances and stepped ahead<BR>I realised my victory against failures<BR>But I did never realise the hidden support of the strength given to conquer them.</FONT></P><P><FONT color=#006600>I became happy when I met the loved ones<BR>I shared my happiness and enjoyed the moments with togetherness<BR>I felt them to be my true ones<BR>But I did never realise the hidden support of the joy given into the basket of the life .</FONT></P><P><FONT color=#006600>I became sad when I was overtaken by my failures<BR>I shared my sorrows , but alas<BR>I did not had hands to wipe my tears <BR>Then I did REALISE the hidden support of strong shoulders to take upon all the griefs .</FONT></P><P><FONT color=#006600>The cherishing glow always makes me look forward into life <BR>Though I hardly give you a dedicated minute<BR>But your tender hands are always ready to help me out<BR>I do boast upon having you near to me<BR>I do feel proud to call you my 'Valentine'-'GOD'<BR>With love, affection and dedication.</FONT></P><P><FONT color=#006600></FONT> </P><br><img src="http://ri.rediffiland.com/homepimages/home3/382/eb2f89f8857a5b1d69d960436456a1e4/homep/images/1202893041">]]></description><pubDate>Wed, 13 Feb 2008 14:14:22 +0530</pubDate><link>http://komalasrani.rediffiland.com/blogs/2008/02/13/To-My-Valentine-.html</link></item><item><title>Worship is faith</title><description><![CDATA[<P>Since birth, we are being taught about Heavenly God. Slowly and slowly, as we grow and realise the mysteries of nature and we try to feel its importance. For me, faith in God started from the very childhood but realisation was at a later stage. I grew up worshipping a single idol/picture,even to till day. Sometimes, I think about how mysterious the things are? Till in my long life, I still need to count down to ten or may be even five,to think about the people I can really rely upon. But such is the power in that idol, that I can fearlessly open up my heart, do not feel down to commit my mistakes and is just open to say up just anything , share my all high and lows,simply scroll down tears to let the agony pass out in front of 'HIM'. Possibly it is the thing of 'faith' that makes us comfortable.We do have faith that 'HE' will always guide us to the right path. Today only I received a beautiful mail as "When HE closes one door HE opens many others for paving the future".</P><P>This faith flash backs me to a small story. Once upon a time, there was a big banayan tree, and a dog while on its way, came down under the tree and started sniffing. Later on, he excreted there and passed by. Later on, for a few days, the dog continued the same practice probably at the same spot. One day, a poor lady just sat upon at that place and started worshipping, simply because she felt so.Days followed by, bypassers slowly and slowly did join her and later on, a small temple was built up under the same banayan tree. So, it is simply the case that faith cannot be imposed. It could be just seeded into, it's all upon the man to ensure that the seed grooms into a big tree of faith.</P><P>So it is a vision of trust that builds up the faith.</P><br><img src="http://ri.rediffiland.com/homepimages/home3/382/eb2f89f8857a5b1d69d960436456a1e4/homep/images/1201161191">]]></description><pubDate>Thu, 24 Jan 2008 12:52:50 +0530</pubDate><link>http://komalasrani.rediffiland.com/blogs/2008/01/24/Worship-is-faith.html</link></item><item><title>Is it really 'good' to be 'good'</title><description><![CDATA[<P>Somedays, back I read this article in The Times of India. The discussion was whether 'Is it good to be actually good'? It did cite examples of Kareena Kappor? and Kajol. The survey was made for the age group of 16-22 and majority of the percentage preferred to be Kareena instead of Kajol.</P><P>Firstly , it would be too difficult to define 'good' or 'not good'. Every thing depends upon our perception of looking the things. There is no strict definition of good and it is impossible to classify our actions into 'good' and 'not good'. Even the murderer does not find bad in his act but it is the perception of the society that judges him 'not good' ?But what I have experienced in life is that every person is just good for himself, till and till his/her interests are being fulfilled.Just there is one exception to this relation that is the feeling/devotion of a mother for her child.What defines 'good' and 'not good' for me? Defining 'good' in life would be  trying to take up the responsibilities expected from every relation, fulfilling every edge to the maximum possible effort I can give into. But obviously my 'good' does not define to put my self at worst state and still taking up the things. In that state, I would have to be 'not good'.</P><P>So, it would always be controversial to say 'good' or 'not good'. for if u always try to be good , u get totally dictated by being good and get involved in fulfilling others expectation and thus suppressing oneself to the extent of killing self identity and needs.</P><br><img src="http://ri.rediffiland.com/homepimages/home3/382/eb2f89f8857a5b1d69d960436456a1e4/homep/images/1200636119">]]></description><pubDate>Fri, 18 Jan 2008 11:12:01 +0530</pubDate><link>http://komalasrani.rediffiland.com/blogs/2008/01/18/Is-it-really-good-to-be-good-.html</link></item><item><title>HAPPY NEW YEAR</title><description><![CDATA[<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">A very happy and prosperous new year to all my fellow ilanders.

Even the twin kids do think differently for the same thing.But it is the adjustment of thoughts  which is the best choice for accomodating if there is a need otherwise the other option is to move down their own ways. But when the things comes for relationships, things do appear a bit different .For making a house a home, and to maintain peace of mind and home, accomodations and adjustments are a must. But when the differences in relations are to the extremes, then silence is the best choice, instaed of convincing the other person. No one should be burdened to live with other's way of thoughts nor anybody has the right to impose them.So, the core to which sort of relation and the level of understanding we share in judges the height of understandability of thoughts . <br><img src="http://ri.rediffiland.com/homepimages/home3/382/eb2f89f8857a5b1d69d960436456a1e4/homep/images/1197354056">]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 11 Dec 2007 11:45:53 +0530</pubDate><link>http://komalasrani.rediffiland.com/blogs/2007/12/11/Untitled.html</link></item><item><title></title><description><![CDATA[<P>Struggling in an unconquered battle</P><P>Fighting high and hard</P><P>For achieving peaks and attaining  heights</P><P>For fulfilling ambitions and intentions</P><P>For storing some unvaluable currencies</P><P>Leaving behind precious relations</P><P>And confused at heart and soul</P><P>But still the thirst is on and on</P><P>To atain the 'Unachievable'.</P><br><img src="http://ri.rediffiland.com/homepimages/home3/382/eb2f89f8857a5b1d69d960436456a1e4/homep/images/1197354266">]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 11 Dec 2007 11:24:56 +0530</pubDate><link>http://komalasrani.rediffiland.com/blogs/2007/12/11/Untitled-1.html</link></item><item><title></title><description><![CDATA[<DIV class=snap_preview><P>&#2310;&#2346; &#2310;&#2319; &#2332;&#2344;&#2366;&#2348; &#2348;&#2352;&#2360;&#2379;&#2306; &#2350;&#2375;,<BR>&#2361;&#2350;&#2344;&#2375; &#2346;&#2368; &#2361;&#2376; &#2358;&#2352;&#2366;&#2348; &#2348;&#2352;&#2360;&#2379;&#2306; &#2350;&#2375;,</P><P>&#2347;&#2367;&#2352; &#2360;&#2375; &#2342;&#2367;&#2354; &#2325;&#2368; &#2325;&#2354;&#2368; &#2326;&#2367;&#2354;&#2368; &#2309;&#2346;&#2344;&#2368;,<BR>&#2347;&#2367;&#2352; &#2360;&#2375; &#2342;&#2375;&#2326;&#2366; &#2358;&#2348;&#2366;&#2348; &#2348;&#2352;&#2360;&#2379;&#2306; &#2350;&#2375;,</P><P>&#2340;&#2369;&#2350; &#2325;&#2361;&#2366;&#2305; &#2341;&#2375; &#2325;&#2361;&#2366;&#2305; &#2352;&#2361;&#2375; &#2360;&#2366;&#2361;&#2367;&#2348;,<BR>&#2310;&#2332; &#2361;&#2379;&#2327;&#2366; &#2361;&#2367;&#2360;&#2366;&#2348; &#2348;&#2352;&#2360;&#2379;&#2306; &#2350;&#2375;,</P><P>&#2346;&#2361;&#2354;&#2375; &#2344;&#2366;&#2342;&#2366;&#2305; &#2341;&#2375; &#2309;&#2348; &#2361;&#2369;&#2319; &#2342;&#2366;&#2344;&#2366;,<BR>&#2313;&#2344;&#2325;&#2379; &#2310;&#2351;&#2366; &#2310;&#2342;&#2366;&#2348; &#2348;&#2352;&#2360;&#2379;&#2306; &#2350;&#2375;,</P><P>&#2311;&#2360;&#2368; &#2313;&#2350;&#2381;&#2350;&#2368;&#2342; &#2346;&#2375; &#2350;&#2375;&#2306; &#2332;&#2367;&#2306;&#2342;&#2366; &#2361;&#2370;&#2305;,<BR>&#2325;&#2381;&#2351;&#2366; &#2357;&#2379; &#2342;&#2375;&#2306;&#2327;&#2375; &#2332;&#2357;&#2366;&#2348; &#2348;&#2352;&#2360;&#2379;&#2306; &#2350;&#2375;,</P></DIV>]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 04 Dec 2007 12:49:23 +0530</pubDate><link>http://komalasrani.rediffiland.com/blogs/2007/12/04/Untitled.html</link></item></channel></rss>
