Ola !! Caman di Enjaiment !!

Pallavi Baruah on August 14th, 2008

Am feeling totally perked up.. the very thought of long ride.. riding through mountains and valleys… just sets me off  in a different plane of existence.. so am totally thrilled..

Rains have been predicted but heck I am going to enjoy the rain as well..

Ahhhh as we ride on the highway on the rain… stop by a small hut and have some hot tea … total bliss..

Rains also make nature very romantic.. its as if the trees are singing with life..

GOT OUR DIGI SLR finally… but am a little intimidated with that.. too many options and buttons.. puts off my creativity.. but I will get used to it.. one baby step at a time..

Rain rain dont go away…

Peek in by but keep the drizzles at bay..

I would like to feel you as we ride by

Its with some hope that the sun also has a spying try…

All of you have a great weekend..

I will be back with a good trip log for interested travelers..

And have a great Independence Day..

Wishing..

Independence of thought, of bias, of prejudice…

Independence of judgment, of strife, of small time politics..

Independence of violence, of corruption, of misuse of information

Independence of dependencies to get there…

Independence to choose the right from the enforced right..

Independence from the doubts inside us which enable us to be a decent citizen…

Only then can we think and live the spirit of independence and the country will surely reflect what we are… and what we want to be…

In general

Pallavi Baruah on August 6th, 2008
  • people possess basic goodness, they just hide it somewhere.. or it gets covered with perceptions.. from self and others..
  • there is always a leap of faith when one comes across positivity
  • happiness from the person I employ makes my day
  • a genuine conversation has its benefits
  • capability does not always complement congeniality
  • focus does not always mean sincerity
  • having a good laugh does make the whole world seem a better place
  • creative project keeps me from devil’s workshop
  • change is not always a heavy cross to bear
  • acceptance does not always mean tolerance and vice versa
  • thinking does not always lead to doing… and doing does not lead to thinking..
  • its better to learn home truths about any circumstances that one is in..
  • experience and not practice makes it perfect…

Buhahahah !!!

My daily reading says this which is so correct .. I am growing to love these cards.. :)Usually am into Egyptian but these cards are showing me wonderful insights.. Just started on this.. Think it does good for soul guidance.. :)

The seed cannot know what is going to happen, the seed has never known the flower. And the seed cannot even believe that he has the potentiality to become a beautiful flower. Long is the journey, and it is always safer not to go on that journey because unknown is the path, nothing is guaranteed.

Nothing can be guaranteed. Thousand and one are the hazards of the journey, many are the pitfalls - and the seed is secure, hidden inside a hard core. But the seed tries, it makes an effort; it drops the hard shell which is its security, it starts moving. Immediately the fight starts: the struggle with the soil, with the stones, with the rocks. And the seed was very hard and the sprout will be very, very soft and dangers will be many.

There was no danger for the seed, the seed could have survived for millennia, but for the sprout many are the dangers. But the sprout starts towards the unknown, towards the sun, towards the source of light, not knowing where, not knowing why. Great is the cross to be carried, but a dream possesses the seed and the seed moves.

The same is the path for man. It is arduous. Much courage will be needed.

Osho Dang Dang Doko Dang Chapter 4

Commentary:

This card shows a small wildflower that has met the challenge of the rocks and stones in its path to emerge into the light of day. Surrounded by an aura of bright golden light, it exposes the majesty of its tiny self. Unashamed, it is equal to the brightest sun.

When we are faced with a very difficult situation we have a choice: we can either be resentful, and try to find somebody or something to blame for the hardships, or we can face the challenge and grow.

The flower shows us the way, as its passion for life leads it out of the darkness and into the light. There is no point fighting against the challenges of life, or trying to avoid or deny them. They are there, and if the seed is to become the flower we must go through them. Be courageous enough to grow into the flower you are meant to be.
