The warmth of a hand-knit woolen, can be reassuring in its energy ! It can make you understand, all the colors of the tapestry, which exists in the lustre of the dew drops, the light of the glow-worms, the whisper of the Wind, as it roars over the Mountains..

How was the first yarn created, to warm the winter ?!..Would it be there for us to untangle had the colors faded over time..?!!

Guide India.." Kitchen Talk !"

" Pots n Pans, India !", 15th December ,2011

Every Kitchen in the World, must have been a highlight of contentment..satisfaction levels run high on a full stomach. Even when we try not to be prejudiced, it is impossible not to succumb to favorites..those special pots n pans, which compliments your cooking and mood.

My own personal favorite is the age old 'kadai' and copper pots (patila) for cooking hot Indian meals and maximising the flavors of Indian herbs n spices !

" Food Journeys !", 30th November ,2011

Ancient wisdom has elaborated on the power of good wholesome food ! Many times food is all about the right occasion, laughter and talking around the table and above all a sense of good humor and bon homme.

Most wonderful recipes in the world, come from the heart and attain perfection, not so much from the ingredients you use, but by the loving care, you add in your cooking !!

Guide India.." Colors India "

" Peacock India !", 27th November ,2011

There were so many colors in the sky..the female peacock asked God that all these colors should paint the canvas of her mate.

The wisdom of the Creator was challenged and a little amused by the tenacity of the bird fowl which in its female version, had very little color in her plumage. He had to consent and so the royal Peacock blue, the radiant orange n gold, dark red, purple n green all hues of the rainbow were there ornamenting the proud male Peacock. However, the divine muse soon realised that in all its beauty the Peacock had developed traits of vanity and arrogance..and so to bring it back to 'earth', God made his flight short..it no longer could touch the heaven as did the more humble birds..!

Pride hath a Fall..so even when we learn how to fly..it is important to walk on the Earth first with a humble step..!!

Guide India.." Compassion can save a life "

" Breaking Boundaries !", 26th November ,2011

Wading through troubled waters, to the safety of the shores, can earn us either enemies or friends.

Living a life in pre-concieved notions of speculation can very often sink us..sink a world and even the entire Universe. An open mind which motivates our 'moving forward' in life, can spring a surprise on what it can offer, from where we least expect it to come..!

Crossing Barriers can in today's life means..Living life on your own terms and learning from your own experience !

It has originated from Orissa and its history can be traced back to the 2nd century BC. The tradition of Maharis (Temple Dancers), who apppesed the Gods with their creative 'Tribhang' artistry..has its roots in the 'Devadasis' dance rituals.

Guide India." The Flower of Gods! "

"A Fragnant Earth !", 18th October ,2011

Every morning, while visiting our aunt in Bareily (UP), we would wake up to the sound of morning 'ragas' and the soft pitter patter of little girls, who would come in to collect the fallen aromatic 'Har Singar' flowers from the house garden. They grew in abundance from an old tree, which had no time or care in the world !

The girls were from the nearby temple and in the evenings their endeavor showed on the Gods who it seemed could not bless without this aromatic abundance around them..!

Guide India." Fruits that stay on the Tongue! "

" Berry Story !", 07th October ,2011

Fruits that linger on the tongue are those childhood memories of hot summer days in the plains of India and dust laden winds. One without the other, would be incomplete, as is life without its sweet n sour flavors.

The 'Phalsas' (Indian Berry) are remniscent of buzzing Indian streets and loud hawkers selling their goods..A picture postcard India, which few of us could forget..!!

" Sky kisses Earth !", 09th Sep,2011

The Earth was parched, the birds in the Sky had forgotten their song..the flowers knew not the cajoling dance of the butterflies !

In the Heaven above, the Gods were worried, a Season of Bloom was awaited ?!..

..the Sky knew not how to woo the Earth with its song. The Sun on its journey, scorched the Earth with its intensity..it knew not the gentle whispers of seduction. The Wind was carried away with the romance of the moment and the Earth was left asking..! The Moon knew only the hours of the Night, the Earth was used to a more constant companion. Finally, the Gods blessed the Sky with the rain..in its incessant lash, was the roar of passion, in its gentle pitter-patter was, the Dance of Love n Joy . A Season of Bloom had arrived !

However hard the Path might be, it is necessary to vent your Heart's feeling and give expression to your emotion, for any relationship to prosper !!

" A Day in the Sunshine !", 30th Aug,2011

In passionate vanity, a bunch of galavanting butterflies on their humdrum stroll, looked at the bees and said, " Seek the skies above, there is no sweet nectar for you, in this garden ! The humble bees buzzing with life, drank the energy of the Sun.

As the day drew closer the bees could be seen collecting in their wings all the colors of the flowers..crimson for life, saffron for energy, blue for calm and green for eternity!

Many a time, the nectar in our lives might be missing, but the sweetness of honey is the flavor of all colors !!
