what is there to know?

yesterday we had a debate....
some one told me about a new philosophy class in town.....and asked me if i was interested....
i said i didnt need any philosophy class.. and tht i knew what there is to know...
wht is there to know?
life is beautiful....
live life to the fullest.....evry moment, every breath....
love your self....
listen to your inner voice.....
after all,
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt within the heart.
Helen Keller

angels..........

It is important to know that every single human being, from the moment of birth until the moment when we make the transition and end this physical existence, is in the presence of guides or guardian angels who will wait for us and help us in the transition from life to life after death.”
- Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Rahim ke dohe....Rahim`s couplets......


Do not break the thread of love by a jerk. Either it will be broken forever or will have a knot when tied.


If one has a healthy mindset then he need not worry about the persons with whom he is associated. A sandalwood tree does not become poisonous inspite of being a residing place for snakes.

HAIKU

Haiku is one of the most important form of traditional Japanese poetry. Haiku is, today, a 17-syllable verse form consisting of three metrical units of 5, 7, and 5 syllables.

The moment two bubbles are united,
they both vanish.
A lotus blooms.





Silence--
a strangled Telephone has forgotten
That it should ring




World like a dewdrop
though it's only a dewdrop
even so, even so.




I sit at my desk each night with no place to go,
opening the wrinkled maps
of Milwaukee and Buffalo .

am i valued???

Im a little worried about my mental health…………. I suffer from insomnia.
recently I read that insomnia is a symptom of depression….
Am I depressed? I think all of us get depressed, for some reason or the other in our life time….but we also learn to cope…those who don’t learn to cope….we all know, what happens to them…..
Am I depressed?
When i think about it …I think yes!.....am i coping with it….i thought I was doing fine….except for this damn sleeplessness…..
Now I feel I have to do something about it…..what is it that makes me depressed?....
The selfishness of humans( though, i know very well that humans are so frail)
I think everyone on this earth wants to be VALUED…..and when that doesn’t happen….there could be a lot of problems….when I think of problems…….. there r huge ones…on this earth….but I think each and everyone of these problems begin with this primary need of a human being…the need to be valued….
Am I not valued then?
I ve to think about this……

balcony gardening...


A few months ago as I was passing through a nursery, on an impulse, I bought a chilli sapling......

I watered it everyday I wanted to see if I had a green finger......and lo! I saw little leaves peeping ..I was so happy.....

I went out and brought 5 containers ......and some more saplings......

3 flowering plants..., mint and curry leaves.....

now, they all seem happy to be living in my home........ Ive brought manure and fertilizer........

I wake up and the first thing I do is look at my plantlings.......they smile at me.....

a few days ago, my neighbor gave me a cutting of bougainvillea....beautiful pink flowers....

I put it up ....and hope that it becomes thick foliage

I learned that she too is an enthusiast.....

nowadays we spend hours discussing how we can make our balcony interesting.......
wow! never thought i would be a gardener..
