That way the kitchen is a good place. If you love cooking then you can have both, good food and warmth.
Hope all is fine with everyone. Have a nice time. Chandra Jan.3, 2011
The temp. has gone down further. However, it is a bright sunny day today. I can see a cat basking in sunshine. Possibly it had some good breakfast. Peculiar animal this cat is. I have never been able to understand it. Sometimes I like it, sometimes I don't. However, one good thing it always does is keep your house and neighbourhood free from rats. Good day to everyone.

What a peculiar animal is the tortoise. In a race, it always beats the rabbit. I know a giant tortoise, kept at our city zoo, which lived for 250 years! It died in 2006. Jan.7, 2011
Oh! Once a very funny thing happened in a bus I was travelling by. All seats were filled up and people were standing. One man got up and a seat became vacant. The seat was so placed, it could be approached from two directions. A gentleman and a lady, who were standing, both dived together to occupy the seat. Only the lady was just a fraction of a second faster. The gentleman started shouting that it was his seat. In reply the lady could only manage to say gently that it was ok, but to get that seat he must first get up. Actually the gentleman, being slower, sat a fraction of a second later, on the lady's lap!!!!! Realizing the fact, the gentleman immediately got up, and got down from the bus at the next stop. What embarrassment !! Jan.10, 2011
Again that cat, sniffing this and that; possibly looking for some food. I feel like giving some, but I know it won't touch the food. It does not trust me, I have seen before. Dogs are not like that. The primary difference between a cat and a dog lies in their eyes, their stare. Such a wonderful animal the dog is. They always look at you with such affectionate eyes. Recently I have come across some beautiful birds in our locality; such colourful ones. There is a bird sanctuary nearby. Some of them seem to have ventured a bit too far. Have a nice time, everyone.

Such an innocent insect is the cockroach. Just compare its movement and approach with that of a spider. You will be able to understand what I want to say. In order to run away from you out of fear, it frequently runs towards you, or may even climb up along your leg. Cockroach is an insect, am I right? Six legs etc. etc. Hope I am correct. May God keep everyone healthy and happy. Jan 13, 2011
Nothing much has happened today. It was a holiday. I was just thinking what would be a common man's approach towards spirituality. How should he spiritualize? From where to begin? Hope I can write a few words about it sometime. Hope everything is fine with everyone. Have a wonderful day. Jan.16, 2011
Commonplace arguments in a public place, like between two co-passengers in a bus or between two persons in the street, are very enjoyable for others to watch. Am I wrong ? In our youthful days when we used to see such an argument taking place between two persons, the standard remark we used to utter was, "Why use your mouth when you have two hands each ?" However, we never meant it to be that worse, and always kept a strict vigil on it. Just couldn't help becoming humourous. Like wonder, philosophy begins in humour also. That most of the times used to make both verbally more aggressive, and consequently bring more enjoyment for us. Have a nice time. Jan.20,2011
Yesterday I went to attend a marriage reception with my family. It was my cousin brother's marriage. All my nephews and nieces, cousins, uncles, aunts and other elderly relations came. It was a nice get together. I met a friend there after thirty-two years. We were in the same school. She was also one of the guests. She is now a lady and married with one daughter. No, no, there was never any special relation between us. We just knew one another, as friends I suppose. No leg pulling, please, though my cousins were pulling my legs a lot. Her daughter was in the same class as that of my son in the same school, and they too know each other very well. The world is small, really. I felt so good, felt somewhat nostalgic and spiritual. School days were so much full of joy and laughter. Jan.24, 2011
Total freedom with a tranquil mind brings peace. Tranquil mind is not an idle mind. Mind should be active, searching for new ideas and concepts. It keeps ones' intellect growing all the time. Have a good day, all of you. Chandra

Spiritual approach makes us cautious, keeps us on guard, promotes safety and security, incorporates wisdom and temperance, courage and sense of justice.
At the highest level, ones' authority goes as far as his feeling extends. Thus, a mother really keeps her child wrapped up with her feeling.

May loftiness and courage of our spirit enable us to bear trouble and hardship calmly. May we be able to sacrifice for worthy ends.
My first prayer goes for those brave men, who are fighting day and night to cool down the nuclear power plant in Japan, and their families. My next prayer goes for the souls of those who have died, and have gone missing in Japan. May God minimize the ill effects of this disaster.March 21, 2011
There is a man in our neighbourhood who has arrived recently. Initially he tried to be very friendly with us and we found nothing wrong in it. But now I have made it a point not to entertain him any more. The reason is very annoying as well as ridiculous. During a conversation, while standing face to face, the man keeps advancing inch by inch towards the person he is talking to. God knows why. But really it is a very unacceptable and unpardonable habit. Initially, for two or three days, I kept on going back slowly to maintain the basic minimum distance between us. The more I retreat, the more he advances, without in any way interrupting the conversation. He literally breathes down upon the other person's face. Now the moment I see him, I just change my route and take a roundabout way to avoid him. How his family members tackle this problem I would really like to know. Such peculiar habits some people possess. What if the other person is a woman? Sunday, July 10, 2011
