The power of love
I heard this moving story today from Papa. One day a snake came to his third floor apartment at 11 pm in the night. He went to his friend, Friday Alva on the second floor asking for help.
Begum Akthtar ghazals
Poet William Blake
"To see a world in a grain of sand
and a heaven in a wildflower
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
and eternity in an hour?"
I was reminded of this line which I thought Carl Sagan
had said once, in this ghazal I heard yesterday,
by Begum Akhtar.
rang-e-bahaar-e-subah-e-gulistaa.N kyaa dekhe vo diivaanaa
jis kii nazar ne ek hii gul me.n saaraa gulashan dekhaa hai
I was talking to Bhabhiji on the phone and she mentioned this line
and at the same moment, I was listening to it on the computer,
it was so surreal
mere ham_nafas mere ham_navaa mujhe dost ban ke daGaa na de
uzr aane me.n bhii hai aur bulaate bhii nahii.n
