Mother’s love



Photos are taken from sweet home at Payyampally. The first picture shows the close-up picture of the bird. The second picture shows the bird and its nest zoomed out. The third picture shows the nest of the bird. The bird and the nest were at a height of 4-5 meters, so I could not take a picture with the eggs of the bird. I am not sure whether the nest is still in its construction state or whether eggs are there or eggs are already hatched since I could not see the inner side of the nest.

  1. These are my Humble Observations because you expect your readers to comment/critisize/motivate so that you can deliver the best to them meeting their expectations:

    We readers note that you keep repeating the adjective "Sweet" for home..as in sweet home...

    For everybody on earth their house is as sweet as honey....

    Are you trying to say that "YOUR HOUSE" is sweeter than anyone else on earth..ofcourse for you....:-)

    Next,

    You keep posted your readers whenever your new post is online. Why do u keep a few readers on "to" field and few others on "BCC"...

    Any particular reason for that?

    Many of your readers asked me to enquire with you seeing your mail in my inbox :-)

    Photoes are always good...You can plan for an exhibition down the lane....

    Thumbs up....

  2. First of all thank you very much for visiting the blog, for leaving the comments in my blog, for your observation across articles and for positively criticizing comments.

    As you noticed, I always repeats sweet home, but never mentioned sweeter home or sweetest home. I believe that for every one (humans, and all other living beings, including the bird in the above photograph) the home is sweet. And I pray that for everybody the home should be sweet and everybody should love their family and home, I don’t like to force anybody to do or act against their home.

    As you all know I love Wayanad, I know people who lives in Wayanad, but dislikes who has a dislike for it after they compare some other qualities which they see outside. Once again let me repeat that I said only ‘sweet home’ which means I respect others home and does not think that only my home is sweet or sweeter or sweetest. Now let me believe that you have understood about what is my home. When my say I love my home, it reflects my love towards my own home, my family members, my district and natives of my district, my country and the earth and universe as a whole. I strongly believe that one who loves his own home only can love other creatures outside his/her come, and can love the nature or earth as a whole.

    About syndication of new posts to my readers

    I always wish to put every ones name in bcc to protect their privacy. A mailing list being made public gives a big chance for spam attacks. The mailing list which I send the syndication are those people who have expressed their like to read my blog, or some people who visits my blog regularly or at some point of time for some reasons and who I know personally. In some special cases where I think the particular article need not be informed to all, and which I decide to send to few people (some times not to spam with), then only I have put the email address in cc or to list, viewable to all. I have experience from many who gets a mailing list, just uses it for forwarding all the forwards without any consideration for the readers at all.

    Hope I am clear about why I use bcc to address my blog readers. I always love to send new post info to a reader who believes that I am not spamming the inbox. I will not send mail to any one if any of my readers who are in my mailing list replies that my mail is becoming a problem for them.

    I expect more comments/criticizing/motivation from my dear readers.

    Thanks

  4. Hi Renju,

    So, what are saying? Should I take off the word sweet home? I think I have replied for that. Or are you telling about my mailing list? Do you think that I should make it public?

  5. Kicked off discussion thread again.......?

    Let's make it positive,constructive, creative and experimental..

    Thatz how a writer learn, earn and down the lane, be 'one of the best blogger'....

    A best writer always evolves via constructive criticism...

    Ilove being a critic....

    ReplyDelete
  6. No… No… Nobody is kicked off from the discussion thread...

    The discussion thread will be active for ever and it will be always open for critic’s criticism and all other comments. 

    I welcome all constructive critics and all other critics, and what ever comments until the same is making problems to a single/group of persons.

    Let me assume that all readers are aware of the general disclaimers which you see in most of the web sites were it is explicitly mentioned. I have not explicitly mentioned those, but in the future, if I am still doing blogging with the same enthusiasm and if I am getting a wider spectrum of readers, I may have to put the disclaimers explicitly.

    It will be some thing like “Comments which target a particular individual/sex/race/… will be removed” and so on. Let me play safe. 

    ReplyDelete
  7. KICKED OFF = Commence officially

    I mean to say started a discussion thread....
    ****************************
    "...what ever comments until the same is making problems to a single/group of persons..."

    Have you received any such comment so far?

    ReplyDelete
  8. Yes, I know that "KICKED OFF" means started. But I meant the other way and placed a smiley after that. But it did not turn up.

    Till now I have not received any comments that hurts or insults or make any problem to any one. Still, it can happen at any time. But I have received some spam comments, and then I enabled some more moderation of comments like “word verification”. I did not want that but so that readers can comment in my blog easily, but spammers made me do that.

    Spam comments are something like this “wav! You have great site, why don’t you visit "http : / / something useless . com " They create some software which goes and comment in each and every blog with a link to their website which will be used to market something not at all having any relation to any of the blogs.

    Now you can understand the pain created by spammers. Same is the case with “personal spammers” who sends all the forwards to what ever email address they have regardless of the matter whether they knew each one individually or not. Now you can make out why I send the mail about new post in blog with all the recipients in bcc.

    Many times I have asked many people explicitly not to send forward mails. Still we will get all the old and new forwards repeating many times. Fate! It is something like everybody will definitely go through the cycle of spamming and then get matured at some point of time. :)

  9. Gr8....

    One more point need to be added...

    You know that "Kicked off" means started.. But you have used it in other way..But a reader (this case me..) misinterpreted it..

    A good writer need to be clear in his thoughts as well as in whatever he wanted to convey to his readers..

    Unless and until a writer succeed in conveying his thoughts right across his readers mind,with clarity.. he is not considered as a good writer..

    If you would have placed some what like "Kicked off" as in
    "...No… No… Nobody is "kicked off" from the discussion thread...
    it would have been clearer to the reader that you have used the word in some other way not the same dictionary usage....

    Hope it's clear to you:-)

    ReplyDelete
  10. Ok, I agree that I was not clear in conveying the exact idea to the readers. It is my fault.

    I may be able to do it better in future I hope.

    The one thing I am not sure now is whether I will be able to pursue my interests in blogging and photography uninterrupted in the coming years, but I pray I should not quit.

    Many times I have thought of quitting blogging, but comment my readers made my mind not to quit. I hope my professional life won’t creep into my hobbies to mark a full stop for it.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I was not pointing towards any "faultS" (I am the last person to do that..)or saying that it's your "falt"..
    Never misinterpret my words..

    As an ardent reader of your Blog,I just wanted to take your attention to those gaps that needs attention/plug-ins.

    By saying "...The one thing I am not sure now is whether I will be able to pursue my interests in blogging ..", r u try'g to convey that all these suggestions are unnecessary or unuseful since you've not planned to continue blogging or update yourself as a better Blogger..?

    if so...Readers can stop giving suggestions/criticism/comments

    ReplyDelete
  12. Ok fine Radhika, I agree with what you said in the first part of your comments. But the last two paragraphs make me believe that you turned into a usual journalist who just jumps upon a word which may have stated as a part of a larger statement or idea. These kinds of journalists thinks that they found something great, then make discussions on that, but deviate from the actual topic or give a different idea about what is actually happening or stated. You can see a lot of examples for these in the current media. Are you a part of it or not?

    I have written in my blog in one of the older posts with the title “Perspective matters”, and described how important it is to look into anything from a wider angle. Let me say, “Same applies here”.

    I was not blogging some years ago, but now I am blogging, don’t know how far this will go on. Clear! There is nothing more or less than what I said. Don’t try to twist my idea, I believe it is very clear, no points for believing that I am going to stop blogging.

    When humans tell or pray to god that he doesn’t know how long he will leave, please bless us, it doesn’t mean that he or she is going to die next day.

    If I have decided that I am not going to blog, then also, I won’t delete the blog, until there is some problem like what I discussed in my previous comment about the “disclaimer” or some legal problems. There can also be a chance that blogs give way to newer technologies or ideas, it may get out dated.

  13. I have a few comments on your observation that :"...These kinds of journalists thinks that they found something great, then make discussions on that, but deviate from the actual topic or give a different idea about what is actually happening or stated.."

    A journalist has every right to twist or turn the story so that he can bring different angles to the story and bring into notice of the world and trigger thoughts in the readers mind though it may or may not lead to a "truth", but not always....(one side and it has another side to it)

    A journalist is being paid for that....And people need stories..Then how all these magazines and newspapers are sold?

    Can you single out anyone on earth who doesn't like to read "Page3 journalism.." if there, it's really gr8...(Modern Journalism itself started off with Yellow journalism in US...)

    As for "deviating from the main topic", see, this is globalized century and everybody (individual/organization) stand for profit..Nobody is cared for anything else..
    For eg; If a person knows that he/she would be profited by your association he'she would be interested in continuing it, otherwise why to bother about ...

    Everybody "expects"..
    it's humane/sociaological side..

    I comment on your blog because I grow as a critic and learn something from You /your blog entry and from your reply to the comment...that's my Profit..And I accept ctiticisms and I do criticize in away that it will be helpful to the other person directly or indirectly



    If you look at the larger perspective, ...globally, look at US stand on Pakistan, they are ready to discontinue the association...(polical sides, need longer discussion)

    Newspaper pays journalist to make story and sell..

    A company wont be interested to develop a product unless n until it's profitable..Nobody take up project unless it is profitable...A journalist twists the story for the newspaper,not for himself..
    A journalist can't survive in that way...


    For each person on earth his/her understanding and finding is great to him/her, but may not be 4 others...

    My query was simple and straight forward..

    It's my thought and being a usual visitor I understand that I have every right to ask u that whether the critisms are useful or not to grow as a Blogger...
    :-)

    ReplyDelete
  14. Let me boldly say that, I don’t like “Page 3 journalism”.

    If millions stand against me for a matter which I believe is right, I won’t change my opinion. (It is very bad that Modern Journalism itself started off with Yellow journalism in US. It is unfortunate!!!)

    I think the above statement is the answer to all what you said.

    You said “People need stories, Newspaper pays journalist to make story and sell.”

    It is another unfortunate perception happening in the world.

    Journalist should not make stories, they should find stories.

    You said – “A journalist has every right to twist or turn the story so that he can bring different angles to the story and bring into notice of the world and trigger thoughts in the readers mind though it may or may not lead to a "truth", but not always....(one side and it has another side to it)”

    Again it is unfortunate that journalists believe in their rights to twist or turn as you said. They should actually find twists and turns then give it to the public. Yes, journalist is privileged by the rights to twist and turn the stories, but whether it is correct or not should be decided based upon the journalist’s responsibility, and the responsibility should not be limited or inclined more towards the news paper who pays the journalist, it should be inclined upon the good will towards everything.

    Do not take anything by examples, for every such example, I can provide a contradictory example.

    I always train myself to be unaffected by the bad induction. The bad effects are some times due to repeated stating of a wrong thing, or lack of a different view due to monopoly.

    A teacher should never say that he/she teaches because he/she is paid. Like wise when journalists write because they are paid, the whole idea of humanity itself gets vanished eventually.

    Just keep away from a mistake which is projected as a right thing since everybody repeats it or believe it is right. In the light of what I said above, the idea of majority itself should be questioned. Decisions taken any where should not be based on majority; it should come from humanity and love for the nature and for the future and respect towards the past.

    Do not blindly think that everybody stands for profit alone. In fact there are many. But the society survives from evil only because there are a lot of others who stands for many values. Every body says “In this age of Globalization…” Oh! It is another misconception. It started right from the history of human race. When we use the terminology “modern” we should understand that through out the entire history of humans, they believed that they were modern, and we do too. But it is quite relative. It is better to blame people who believe that they are living in the modern age, or in the age of Globalization.

    Just going behind worldly things and accepting the truth of majority is ridiculous.

    There are my comments, and I hope every body including you, Radika, will take it as my opinion, but not my judgment on you all. I always see good things in everybody. I don’t ignore or blame any one because there are bad things about him/her. I am also not perfect. If I was keeping away from anybody because of bad ideas or nature of them, then I would have been the rejected from many years before, and I would have been extinct by now.

    A survival made by forgetting integrity won’t be the absolute one. It is better to separate journalism for survival, and true journalism.

    No doubt, you have every right to criticize my blog articles, other wise I would not have enabled comments (anonymous) in my blog, and I would not have replied to any of the comments.

  15. Gr8 thoughts Deepu, but....

    Suppose, I am ready to stand for true Journalism/Journalistic ethics..

    Who will publish my articles?

    Otherwise I need to start my own..For that, budget is needed indeed..
    Money ....? For that, I may sacrifice smthg or other..nlead to Journalism for profit..

    And people to read that, you need to adveritize..

    Ok, think about blogging..To get noticed, u need some kind of advt..I guess..other than ur close circle not many would probably see it rt?

    To be frank, there is nothing as "True Journalism" it's just a concept..To be exercise it, one need to sacrifice his whole life...

    There are people like that, but u can count them on fingers...

  16. Check http://www.countercurrents.org/nuiman-200705.htm

    Free Press stood for true Journalism, but they stopped publishing...

  17. Wav!!! I agree with what you wrote now. Now we have almost reached a conlusion rather than just an argument, your criticism or comments now turned out to be really a beautiful understanding of the present.

    I believe strongly there will be a group of people, at any point of time, who can be countable by fingers in our hand, to protect the humanity. These groups will stand above the mere physical survival, and their mental power cannot be overcome by the power of money.

    Let us look towards a better future always.

    i t can be emotional, psychological, sociological or anthing of that sort...

    You are benefited of a new friend, we all are writng and thus improving our language day by day..rt?

    ReplyDelete
  28. Hey buddies..
    Let me go a bit deep into Profit motives..

    It goes like this...

    1.a Blogger post new entry on his/her blog..

    2.Inform the syndicates expecting that a few (who are really interested ) will turn up to leave comment or appreciate his work...that how he is motivated (psychological) and become famous (sociological)

    3.Now, the case of a Reader, let's take my case;

    a) I visit this blog because Deepu beautifully picturised my interests (say photography, love towards nature,wayanad trek/traveling, )on his blog, that I wished to do, but left it off of so many reasons...(sociological and psychological motives)

    b) I grow as a Critic (Sociological)

    c) I am savoring art of Blogging.. though indirectly (sociological)

    d)I wanted people to be happy, I consider it as an invitation whenever I receive a notification mail of new post ,and I never reject invitations to READ/LEARN new ideas/thoughts (psychological and sociological)

    e)And last, of course a soft corner for a Guitarist compel/force me to read a Guitarist's thought just to know how the person is...
    I had an understanding that a Guitarist has a typical mindset of a poet/ artist......

    I love Art..I draw/ write whenever my mood allows me...

    I may be enjoying the association of a Guitarist/ Artist

    A childish way of thinking of course... (Emotional level) Benefit is simply emotional

    f)4 any other reader, profit can be ranging from 'just make you happy' to 'really interested in your work'...He/ she is profited by knowing about Wayanad, enjoying the beauty of your best captures............

    Does it a psychological benefit?
    Let me have your thoughts.....

    ReplyDelete
  29. Dear Shaijith,

    I don’t remember whether it was Vivekanandan or some Greek philosopher who told that there is no friendship without an intention of making a profit out of that.

    I do not strongly support the theory or reject it. But I believe that there are friendships with out any profit motive, if being in friendship is not considered as profit. People are usually proud of having greater number of friends and people envy for the same reason. I believe this is one of the reasons for the success of the social networking website – ‘Orkut’ as well as all similar sites.

    I believe that mothers love is pure as it is without any profit motive. We went wild with our discussion but some how I reached the same post title in-between. Interesting!

  30. Hi Radika,

    My thoughts of profit motives from blogging follow like this.

    You described some of the profits you obtain like your love for art etc… as well as some other which I acquire from blogging like writing skills getting improved, let me go a little bit more into the profit making group out of blogs apart from these and the blogging service provider itself.

    I was prompted to start blogging after seeing one of my friend’s blog. The link was sent to my by another friend. This happened during my initial days in MindTree. Much before that, while I was a B.Tech student I always thought about a website of my own, but it never became a reality.

    Blogging seemed to be very useful for me, the way one can publish a post, and the chronological order of posts (done by the blogging service provider), the RSS feeds, and the way people can respond to it through comments, the discussion threads happening after that, the community that grows up like that and so on.

    Next question was what to blog, I was very much interested in music, so I though I would publish something about music. I searched in Google for some of the great musicians I knew and collected the information to make an article. Wav!!! I got suddenly entitled as a music blogger by some people who were looking for the same. People who were looking for articles in music were profiting.

    It was only in the last one year, I removed the first three articles from my blog, which was not my own. When my readers increased, I felt a kind of responsibility which made me think that all the articles published in my blog should be mine, and I should be responsible for the content.

    Time proved that I am not one who is able to blog much about music, but the interest for good music made me post something about music occasionally. Soon I found blog as a very good platform to express my ideas and hobbies.

    Photography was not my hobby, but my dream. The dream came true and turned to be a hobby only in the recent days. Yes, I was fascinated by photography from my childhood days, and I always examined the features of a camera when ever I got a chance to interact with a photographer. At last I got my own camera and blog turned out to be a good media to publish the photographs.

    People who are interested to view photographs started visiting my blog. My feeling of responsibility increased. People who are interested in photography also started profiting.

    A major turning point in my blogging experience was including a script to track the blog visitors. It gave me a much better idea about who all are the visitors and what do they look in my blog. I found out many hits coming from popular search engines for tourist information of Wayanad. Photography, tourism and so on… I got a good connection to link all these.

    I started publishing my short trekking to various places in Wayanad as well as outside. Wav!! The profit group is becoming larger. My interest for trekking getting recognized! Trekking turns out to be a very good occasion for my dream hobby – photography. Travelogues with photographs in it turn out to be more interesting for readers who not only look for photograph, but for more information about beautiful natural locations. I am profiting, tourists are profiting, Wayanad is profiting, and people who are working in the tourism industry are profitng.

    My hidden agenda of exposing the beauty of Wayanad came to a reality. I was always very much concerned about people who look down on Wayanad as an under developed district with out any modern facilities. My blog articles about Wayanad reached people not only in Kerala, or India but through out the world. Those visits by people outside India who do researches on Wayanad really made me proud about Wayanad. The profit group is still becoming larger!

    Let me describe about another unintentional profit made out of blogging. I came into tough with lot of old friends, and people whom I don’t have interacted directly but those who belongs to Payyampally. They came into my blog while searching for Payyampally or about Wayanad, or some how. It was another motivating experience. They can be considered as another profiting group.

    I am proud to say that, I have not made any monetary profit from my blog till now. Many of my friends tired out Google ads, but I never moved away from my principles.

    Yes, blog is a part of my life now. But mere blogging for the sake of blogging is out of scope in my life. My blog reflects a part of life and I wish it should be always like that.

  31. I wanted to repeat the same what I have replied to Shaijith's comment ..

    Profit motives cannot be always Monitory...

    It can be Emotional, Psychological, sociological.....

    :-)

    Some people get pshycological/sociological boost when they get monitory benefits..
    Some others get boosted when they receive emotional/psychological rewards....(will bring it up in next rounds of talks)

    It depends people to people...

    Mothers Love can be (may not be,I have not read a typical mother's mind as yet, so I am not a right person to comment on that..i grew up away from my parents, i have been with my grand parents..) considered to be "Emotional" benefits-oriented.....
    Again, it differs from individual to individual.....

    Sorry if it hurts anybody's feelings...

    I strongly beleive that all relationships are profit-oriented....."

    This is not a “Yudhakalam”, initially I also thought that it will be a grammar class. Now it turned out to be a useful discussion thread.

    It will be great if you also can join the discussion thread, or “fight” as you call it.

    I am not able to leave the comments in my blog unanswered.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Hi Radika,

    I strongly oppose the statement; I never agree that all relationships are profit motive. In most of the cases mother’s love is non-profit motive. A mother loves her children with much expectation, but he never complains back when it is not returned. Emotional benefits or emotional hurting! Emotional benefits cannot be thought of as a profit. She put aside all her good time for the growth of her children but when they grow up, children find it difficult to spare his/her time for their mother, who spent “her vasanthakalam” for them. Christians believe that, parents are God, who loves their kids beyond any emotional, physical or monetary benefits.

  37. Deepu,
    All religion preach that "Parents and teachers to be considered as GOD...." I never object that..

    Parents love their children because it's thier blood..Mother love her kid because, for a long time it's grew in her womb..It was part of her body...

    Consider, those people who adopt abandoned kids and love as their own, knowing that the blood is not theirs....
    It's profitless..compared to a Mothers love towards her own blood

    I strongly beleive that this love is superior to "a Mother's Love to her own Blood" ...
    Again, it's just my personal openion...

    They know that one or the other day that, the kid they adopted will realize that it's guardian is not her/his own parents..He/she can abandon them emotionally....

    One more personal openion...
    In this world, no such thing as "LOVE/ TRUE LOVE" it's all relative terms n concepts.. LOVE is just Adjustments with life..

    Love (any kind of love)is just "Adjustment"......

  41. There is no meaning in comparing love of those who adopts kids. Still I cannot understand what kind of profit a mother makes by loving her kids. Mother forgives everything and believes that her kid is good regardless of how they lead their lives. This is the one and only one love which is absolute; it is not at all relative to any factors.

  43. Mothers Love is not absolute..
    It can be relatively absolute...

    She forgives her kid just because it's her Blood, it grown up in her womb...It was her part of body for a period of time...I can't find any other reason..


    I beleive a mother is really great iff she can love all other kids as intensive as her own kids..

    Can anyone spot a "Mother" in that category?...Very few...

    You can very much compare so-called "Mother love towards her-own-kid" to "love towards adopted kid" ...

    ..here the lady sacrifies a lot many things in her life for somebody else KID, knowing that it's not her own blood....

    If a Mother sacrifies her SO-CALLED "VASANTHAKALAM"..it's for her own BLOOD, not for anyone else....

  44. Mother's love and can be seen when ever she takes a child in her hand, no matter whether it is her own child or not. It is the same motherly love or the emotional feeling to be a parent, that prompts and adoption in most of the cases. Every normal human being loves parenthood. Many times, it is his or her mother who corrects the child when he takes actions on the name of his privileges. If somebody takes a survey if it is possible, then it can be proved that mother’s love in its purest form is the one least returned, still it continues. You can see a reflection of this in most of the religions in India, most of the religions will have a deity whom they love to call “Amma” or “Matha”. The traditional status and respect given to a mother is another proof.

  45. Well,

    Let me make clear my stand, that I am never against "Parenthood"

    And let me repeat, Mother's Love is just relatively absolute....

    I agree, Everybody respect "mother hood"...

    Do all mothers deserve that...?

    So many "DOWRY CASES"..most of the time, the root cause
    re-direct to 'mother -in-law", once again, a so-called "GREAT MOTHER OF A GREAT SON"

    Mothers spoils their kids..to an extent....by supporting him/her for all the "dirty-doings"......

    If a person cannot GROOM a kid well, to help him/her accomodate a society as a whole...Why to go for "Parenthood" and spoil a Life and many other lives around...?

  46. You said mother's generally spoil the kids. But once in your life, you will experience the bad effects from people who are not properly grown under a mother which I know how does it looks.

    You said a love towards adopted child is profitless compared to motheres love. God created mother and her love, so that the entire living beings are there in the earth. Just imagine what happens when everybody starts adopting kids, instead of a married life and mother hood.

  47. "....you will experience the bad effects from people who are not properly grown under a mother .." the same point I have mentioned in my last comment.

    If a mother can't groom a kid to a socially approved human being, then what the use of so-called "MOTHER HOOD"..
    Spoiling everybody's lives...?

    Who stand for married life n parenthood, le tthem..I am not against anything..it's individual choice.

    Having said that, one cannot spoil partner's life/ kid's life..just by marrying for the sake of marrying. If a person cannot fulfill his/her duty as a Partner (husband/wife) or as Parent(Mother /FATEHR) why to go for it?

    These days, everybody run behind money..leaving behind their kids..to so-called "BABY -SITTING" firms..
    The kid is psychologically lacking mother's warmth n care...

    (...., if One won't get parents attention, care n warmth....he/she is spoilt psychologically)

    Just becasue society seek n that way (marreid life), one can't follow the so-called-society-made-RULES blindly....

    The point underlined is "DON'T SPOIL LIVES.." It's precious...

    One knows that he/she can't fulfill her responsibilities as a PARENT/ PARTNER never go for it.. It's just CHEATING the other person..or the Kids...

    Why to Spoil Precious Lives?

  48. You have completely misinterpreted what I meant. “You said if a mother can’t grew her child to a socially acceptable human being”. A mother may not be able to look after her child in very rare cases, where the society does not allow her to do so even she wills do to so. Still the mother’s love is unchallenged.

    You said mother should grow a child only if she can make him/her socially acceptable. At the same time, you spoke about the society in terms of “in these days everybody is behind money…” Then why should the mother grow a child to become socially acceptable when the society is behind money? A contradictory statement.

    Great parents, I mean mentally great, will try to make their kids think great. You have to understand that in every human being there will be good and bad, but when one look for the good out of bad the average will rise towards good.

    When you say that “in these days” it is a very negative idea. I have already stated somewhere that, everybody in the entire human history lives in “in these days”. There is no point n cursing “in these days”, there is no point in running away from “in these days”, but if you and me and everybody thinks that we are responsible for the “in these days” then in the future it will become the great “IN THOSE DAYS”. If we look past we can see that there will be always great birth that made the period the great “IN THOSE DAYS”.

  49. A beautiful poetry from an adopted KID to her Guardian...

    I Call You "Ma," Though You Are Not My Mother

    "I call you "Ma," though you are not my mother,
    But more a ma than any ma could be.
    I've come to love you more than any other;
    You took me in your charge and set me free.
    You let me run and kissed me when I fell;
    You kept your eyes on me and let me stray.
    I learned things hard, which means I learned them well,
    And got to know myself along the way.
    My hope and faith and pride are all from you.
    My roots are in your heart; you are my home.
    You will be part of everything I do,
    In all my thoughts a wise and lovely poem.
    For all our lives we'll have this common ground:
    You were my rock when else I would have drowned
    ..."
