                                   "When early morning painted,   In a canvas of soft, bleak fog, A blanket of white, embracing earth, Where Nature, stands still, Observing, awaiting the fiery ball, To repaint, unveil her varied hues, Swirling up the smoky mist, Unfolding a relentless, radiant, crimson glow to reflect within."

   I think it happened in the month of June, something that transformed totally from what I was to what I am now. The days were cold due to heavy downpour for days, even though sunrays at times peeps out from the grey dark clouds during mid-morning hours. One day as usual on finding that there is time yet to start my online classes, I tried to get little more sleep, delving deep into the soft warm blanket. I don’t remember exactly I had slipped into sleep or not, suddenly I heard a very disturbing shrill of a small bird, continuously breaking the light rhythmic sound of the raindrops and the slight breeze coming through my open window. For some time, I lounge around in bed listening to the varied sounds of nature, chirping of crickets, croaking of frogs, cooing of pigeons, mooing of cows, drenched in rain.                After some time the shrilling sound got feeble, so I thought to check outside. I slowly opened my balcony door, but ...

  The potentiality of our mind is immeasurable. Within it lies the seed of success and failure, happiness and sorrow, hope and despair. It’s a very powerful force which can enslave us or empower us. With the mindset of a visionary, Laungi Bhuiyan, an uneducated, poor farmer of Kothiwala Village in Lathua area of Gaya in Bihar has proved its infinite power.   “Once a goal is set deep in our mind, no force can deter it.”   Single-handedly, he dug a canal of 3 km length to carry water from the hills to the fields of his village for irrigation purposes.  Challenges were many, rough paths, unfavourable climatic conditions, but these did not prevent him from his vision of providing rainwater to his village. When asked about his mission, he said, “the major occupation of people in Gaya is farming and animal husbandry. I was much disturbed seeing the rainwater flowing towards rivers, during rainy seasons, from the nearby hills.” Then he thought to execute his plan ...

Frosty breeze ripples the hallow waters of  Mansarovar ,   Where  time  unbound, amid hypnotic nights, When stars drop down to  cleanse  in its mystic folds, Vagrant  clouds grazing snow-crowned peaks,                                 Amidst Mount  Kailash , shine aglow in radiant gold. Epitome of remote simplicity, the  abode  of the Ascetic Dweller, In yogic posture, smeared with  holy  ashes, His  form  clad in tiger skin, Matted locks  graced  with the heavenly Ganges and Crescent Moon, Garland of rudraksha and coiled serpent deck His blue neck, Formless, Limitless,  Adiyogi , the only Universal Soul. Bowing down before your Radiance,  Mahadev , Lift me from the abyss of darkness. I sink forever into fathomless agony, Breathe into me and tranquillize my spirit. To ...
