The universal Magician

I’m knowledge; I’m wisdom

I’m music, I’m rhythm

I’m love; I’m life

I’m innocence and rife

I’m day; I’m night

I am your life’s light

I’m nature; I’m beauty

You know me as eternity

I’m one; I am formless

I’m still and timeless

I’m strong; I’m invincible

I’m infinite and universal

Seek out; I am around you,

Look inside, I am within you

Ice cream Island

Who wouldn’t want to have an ice-cream? It does make a person add on a few extra calories but who cares? It’s the best anti-depressant I’ve ever come across.

I remember running to my mom asking her for money at the sound of the ringing bell on the street, when I was young. The joy of smearing ice-cream across your face, having it drip down your fingers onto your dress as you eat, is something incomparable. No doubt, I would get scolding for spoiling a pretty dress, later on, but that is nothing when compared to the bliss of having ice-cream.

I once had my tooth plucked out when I was young. I was put on a strict ice-cream diet. The doctor advised my parents to give me all the ice-cream I wanted. I loved him for that.

Recently, I happen to clear up some space in the attic and came across my old collection of audio CD’s. As I was browsing through them, I stumbled up a couple of CD’s of Surmani Pravin Godkhindi. There was this particular CD of his - A Feather Dances: 7 Rhythms of the Flute, which was my favorite for a very long time. As I reached out and opened this CD with all the excitement of listening to my favorite music once again, I was touched with disappointment to see the case was empty. I had already built in me the anticipation of experiencing the waves of his soulful “Bamboo Magic”. My search for this particular CD was futile and I realized that I had indeed lost a very prized possession. I spent a couple of days brooding over the loss and finally decided to buy a new CD.

You want magic???

Something that always amazes me is the intelligence that the kids are born with now a days. This was until I discovered the joy of reading Calvin & Hobbes. My morning has to start with my cuppa of coffee and the all knowing and ever enthusiastic Calvin’s cartoon strip in the newspaper.

This guy’s just amazing. For a 6 year old kid, he has a damn good imaginative power consisting of Spaceman Spiff, Stupendous Man, Captain Nitro, Transmogrifiers, dinosaurs (Tyrannosaurus rex to be exact) etc, his misadventures, his unique views on a diverse range of political and cultural issues and his polls on his dad.
