"I am learning to see. I don't know why it is, but everything penetrates more deeply into me and does not stop at the place where until now it always used to finish. I have an inner self of which I was ignorant. Everything goes thither now, what happens there I do not know." - Rainer Maria Rilke
I really don't know what to make of the world these days, Aparna. It's especially confounding as a parent; things seemed much more rosy when I was a child--and I don't really think that's all just age perception.
But it's the only world we've got. And despite the evidence, I think we can only travel hopefully, even if it takes a force of will.
When nature goes wayward We curse God, ask why was this spurred. Offer prayers and more to appease Then, when all is well, we goad and tease. Are we really the creation preferred?
its God's way to indicate.. if man plays around with his creations.. he takes care he learns a lesson. but the sad part is, we aren't ready to learn any lesson only..

Short and Sweet, I say
Nice and short
When nature goes wayward
We curse God, ask why was this spurred.
Offer prayers and more to appease
Then, when all is well, we goad and tease.

Hi, Came thru Kaps blog.
Both of your blogs are nice..
Quite true on the world today.
Its high time that man realises
that he should not disturb nature.
And if he does..this is what nature returns..
Floods in India,Earthquake in Pakistan, Storms in the US and the list continues..
crisp and concise.. neat!
