Mumbai, 30th May 2009
Today i sit to write my first blog ever and try to figure out how it is accepted by you all my friends. What to write & what to talk about. But one thing i already can say that i will soon be trying to write some readable stuff.
To Start with, I recently went to a nearby "Raddiwala" & bought some age old comic books primarily meant for my 3 yr+ kid - Geetanjali, as she is at such an age where the foundation has to be laid for her life to be meaningful. Thinking this, i bought some "Amar Chitra Katha", Tinkle etc. and to make her understand i need to understand the contents first. The first book that I picked up was "Tales as told by Ramkrishna Paramhansa". Reading the stories took me to my childhood where i learnt that nothing is greater than turst in yourself & your deeds. You (who are now atleast 30 yrs+) will instantly recall the story of a poor woman (a divotee of lord Krishna) who would tell her son that Krishna is his elder brother & would help him at all times. And the little boy with faith in her mothers words, would call for Krishna everytime he needed help and Lord would come to his help, would play with him and do stuff boys of his age would do.
Then there is a story of a milkmaid who would walk over the river just chanting "Hari...Hari" whereas the reputed saint of the village would drown.
All these stories in todays world seem so important that in my opinion should share this with their kids. Greater is achieved with confidence in self and the almighty. Faith in yourself takes you places and the supreme hepls those who help themselves.
Keep the faith!
Amen...
