Hampi

The arrival made me feel uplifted immediatly! My mind forgot that it was tired or that my body hadn't slept well (the bus journey being super bumpy). What lay in front of my eyes was beautiful. The boulders, the ruins, the river and the perfect weather. Vijayanagar - a lost capital, renamed as Hampi...and there i was, amidst its splendour.
Cycling through the litle town was fun! the coracle boats looked ultra cute. Moving on the Tungabhadra on a coracle boat, i had one the most serene, close-to-heaven experiences of my life. It was quiet and vast, surrounded by rock carvings of Hindu Gods on the sides.
The ages old idol of Lord Ganesh, carved out of a single rock, had a majestic aura to it, which made me want to linger around it. The rest of the ruined temples were just as good.
My trip was quite smooth and the locals were very helpful. All in all, i ahd a great time.

Dad...

DAD...
Father... i have never said it, but i know you know that i love you.
This past year, i have truly recognized my mistakes or how i have hurt you. Yes, i was a difficult child, and i now realise thst you only did the best job you knew how to do. Dad, i couldn't ask for a better, more understanding, and 'cooler' father than you. With you, i can discuss anything, because you listen i know you try to understand as best as you can. The shelter and security you provide is something only you can give.
Whenever you think i'm asleep, and you come and kiss my forehead, i feel like the luckiest daughter in the world. I may not be the perfect daughter though, but dad, i'm trying. I remember you once telling me - "i never thought my daughter would be like this". I'm sorry for disappointing you...
Its only now that i realise how it was you who has beautifully helped me shape my life...what a gift of a father you are.
You tried to teach me every birthday, how small things are important. Tried to enrich my mind, my thoughts. Thank you. I want you to know that your efforts weren't in vain. Though it may seem like your obvious gestures to make me a better person have had no effect on me...trust me...they have always had a great impact. I know it doesn't show, but thats just because i choose not to show it.
Now that i finally am, you're afraid i'm growing up too fast...
Daddy...thank you very much, for being the dad you are, for staying up late so many nights for me, for taking care of me, for accepting me with my flaws, for having me, and for raising me up. Thank you.

Love

Love - How is it that we have come to a halt, perceiving 'love' as mere romantic love? The spiritually advanced,the old, and those not involved in commercializing this aspect of emotion, would have a wholesome picture of it. Love is a universal energy, an affection and admiration for all beings. Where does the concept of parental love, friendship, patriotism, or say, Godly love vanish? Love is not only a feeling, it is what our universe depends on, and is made up of.

It is love that we all possess inside of us, but are afraid to show, for various known reasons. But if its in our nature, we must let it out, some way or the other, and then our world will be a happier, safer, lovelier place, challenging even the delight of paradise.
