Good Days do come!!

Thou art the ruler of the minds of all people,
Dispenser of India's destiny.
Thy name rouses the hearts of Punjab, Sind,
Gujarat and Maratha,
Of the Dravida and Orissa and Bengal;
It echoes in the hills of the Vindhyas and Himalayas,
mingles in the music of Jamuna and Ganges and is
chanted by the waves of the Indian Sea.
They pray for thy blessings and sing thy praise.
The saving of all people waits in thy hand,
Thou dispenser of India's destiny.
Victory, victory, victory to thee.

NATURE TO SONG
An article of my interest!!
(and may be to some of YOU too!!)
....
....
The human being, the most evolved species in the creation, endowed with power of discretion tapped Nature in order to live in harmony and in doing so strung together a series of sounds, creating what we later termed as music. This medium drawn from the divine, in turn became instrumental in invoking the very source from which it sprang and led man to experience the vast expanse and full glory of the creator. Making a full circle the music born out of nature leads us back to nature in a supreme, sublime and serene way.
....
....
What we term as the power of music is not just an exaggerated expression but an established truth that has manifested as a legacy handed down to us by our ancestors. In the urban, techno-savvy din and bustle of our existence, we are ‘synthesizing' music obviously unmindful of its roots and its potency. Let's tune in to Nature and experience the bliss in whatever field we excel.

Nature song
Wake up in the morning
And go for walking
You can hear the birds singing
And the leaves in the trees swinging.
The breeze blows up your hair
Making you feel the fresh air.
The song is melodious
And the view is gorgeous.
But will that last forever?
No, never.
So, stop cutting and hunting
Look at nature and bow
Take a vow,
But be sure that you will nurture nature
For a better and healthy future.
- Charumathi M, IX,
C.S.I. Ewart School.

A quick reference on food
East
or
West..
North
or
South
Vegetarian food is the best!!
Please show kind heart on wild life (animals,birds..). Let they contribute more and more
for the nature's beauty and balance.
Killing animals for food or for fun is crime and sin. It may be for rituals or for any other reason.
Each and every species created by the ALMIGHTY is meant for balancing the environment.
it is true that I despise purposeless killing, and regard it as an act of vandalism, deserving the severest condemnation.
