Behti hui Ganga

Why is it that we always seem to be at loose ends whenever there is a crisis,when we can be reasonably sure,on the basis of past empirical evidence and stats,that the crisis will almost certainly blow over,sooner or later? This posit is probably due to the fact that we underestimate the impact of extraneous factors, over which we have little or no control whatsoever,on our lives. Ultimately, in my opinion, everything seems to boil down to a bit of Bahti huin Ganga mein haath dho lo,laced with a strong belief in Karmayoga for most ordinary mortals (Hindus,that is), like yours truly.

Movies like "Shall We Dance"

Watching movies like Shall We Dance and love story makes me realise that we Indians are not the only romantic and sentimental types around, and also that all the world loves a lover. When I was younger, and far less travelled, I used to think apart from us, the only ones who were affected by such mushy tearjerkers were the latinos / hispanics. But I know different now. And that knowledge some  how gives me a lot of hope for the future generations. Amen
