My Message of Peace for India


You know, dear neighbor
There is a wall between our homes
But it is not thick enough
On most days the noise in my home drown everything else
But when it is quiet here, I can hear you
Your good days and your bad days
And when it’s really quiet inside me, I can hear you
As well as I can hear myself
It is said that, what is seen fills the vision completely,
We don’t notice the mirror hanging that shows what we truly are-- A reflection of each other!
We have similar homes, similar lives, similar worries and we are similar in so many ways
I am writing this letter to you today because doors are attached to walls
And the only true open door is the lack of wall
DEAR NEIGHBOUR! “The wall between us is not thick enough. We don't see each other, doesn't mean we can't hear each other or feel each other. Our visions are blurred, now we need to "PAUSE" to see who we truly are. Once we do so, we will definitely realize that we are the reflection of each other. We believe, our future need not be same as our past. We hope this letter reaches to the right destination. If you too PAUSE to think, then let's chat up!
I pray that this letter goes over the walls and finds A person like me who believes that a future will not be a past repeating itself, A person like me who believes right now can be the beginning of a World where conflicts are resolved with words not weapons & A person like me who want what I want to--quite days at homes with no worries.

Mother Teresa, a Saint


The Fruit of Silence is Prayer.
The Fruit of Prayer is Faith.
The Fruit of Faith is Love.
The Fruit of love is service.
The fruit of service is peace.
Just read these lines by One of the most inspired face of humanity, Mother Teresa, commonly known as Saint Teresa of Calcutta. 


Mother Teresa is undoubtedly one of the greatest human beings and Christians witnessed in our time. She was born on August 26, 1910 in Skopje in former Yogoslavia and went to India as a missionary nun in 1929 and lived all her life in Calcutta, a congested city full of slums. Only at her death in 1997 did many Indians come to know that she was a European, because she lived a life of Indians better than Indians themselves. 
Yesterday Pop Frances declared other Teresa of Calcutta, a saint. This news has been circulating on the internet since yesterday. So, I wanted to read her religious views, that was quite surprising for me. 
One of the most famous words are 
"I am told God lives in me — and yet the reality of darkness and coldness and emptiness is so great that nothing touches my soul.”
Her letters revealed that, except for one short period, Teresa had been afflicted with a deep sense of God’s absence for the last half-century of her life. Such was her unflagging dedication to the work she’d undertaken for God that most of the world was completely unsuspecting of her spiritual darkness.
