Just a few hours from now, we get to witness a spectacular event, 2007's second total lunar eclipse. Unfortunately, this would not be visible in India. The blood moon eclipse is going to be quite a phenomena!!

निशा
आधा चांद , भीनी चांदनी
तारों की हसीं दमक
निशा की सांवली चमक
हलकी सी रौशनी
गहरीं सी छाओं
गहरी चादर
अनसुनी सी आहट
डगमगाता अम्बर
चमकता सितारा
खूबसूरत नज़ारा
और
आधा चांद
तारों की हसीं दमक
निशा की सांवली चमक
हलकी सी रौशनी
गहरीं सी छाओं
गहरी चादर
अनसुनी सी आहट
डगमगाता अम्बर
चमकता सितारा
खूबसूरत नज़ारा
और
आधा चांद

Que Sera Sera
It was my uncle's retirement party today. I was thinking how does the word 'retire' feel. Everybody plans for the future, short term plans.....long term plans.....each one of us has a vision for his/her future.....the one scary thought that I usually have.....is will I be what I have promised myself to be?? As the clock ticks on......the reality strikes.....time is less and there is so much to do...
Okay....so you have planned this and that for yourself, you think a lot about it, charter a program for yourself, talk about it daily to your own very self, take a few steps in that direction...... and then suddenly a wave comes in, a wave of calmness, serenity......you tend to go with that, take some rest, your plans could wait for sometime, you think this tide may not be there tomorrow.......let me relish the moment...and then again.........lightening strikes, you get up from your sweet slumber, prepared to fight...prepared to win.......one little achievement in the direction of your dreams, one little accomplishment.....tells you that you are going the right way..........but again......time is less and there is so much to do and loads to learn..........in the words of Robert Frost 'The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep'
Talking of my Uncle's party, the satisfaction that I saw on his face, the family love that surrounded him, the entire ambience was teething with joy, contentment and the most important ingredient in life, love. When his son surprised him with a bouquet, he was so elated, his eyes were beeming with happiness, and I do not remember seeing him as happy as he was today.
I guess, fulfilling your dreams and aspirations, seeing your children act like as if they were your parents, your spouse standing by your side, saying adieu could be a wonderful feeling. This is what my uncle taught me today. All I can think, at this moment is.... zindagi rocks!
