Jack & Jill

Got this in a FWD mail and could'nt stop laughing.

Jackwa aur Jilwa
Gaye upar Hilwa
Pani bhari ke waste.
Jackwa gir gawa, uka khopdi fut gawa
aur jilwa aawat ludhkan pure raste!!!!!

Mom's Diary.

Feb'04

Today I packed a bunch of black grapes for Betu (is in class 1) instead of usual paratha or toast,Just to surprise him, as he is fond of it.
Did you share it with other guys?
“No”
Why? Shouldn’t you share?
“There was no need to share…they took themselves..”
And you? I enquired.‘I too had’, he replied carelessly.

He wants to "see the world". This is what he said when after showing him the spectacular tableau in a Deepawali function I asked him,
“Isn’t it nice? what else do u want to see?”.

 An avid reader.Archie’s fan
"
Noooooooo…. abhi loading hai" , he had shouted from the toilet, (he was not even 3 yrs old then) when I asked him should I come and clean him.
I didn’t know how to react to this computer addict!

The two guys who shared the grapes are given the role of robbers,Vibhu is in the lead role, and Avani is the tree…Ay you are not given any role to play?
“No” Why? “because I’m the narrator”……and jumped from the bed and ran away shouting:

“to infinity and beyond…

He is such a fine(cute) fellow.
My son….

Gurbaani

Gurbaani

Listening to the shabads of Gurbani is a sublime experience. Being a non panjabi , it is difficult for me to understand most of the it till someone explains it to me. One of the reasons to like this book is that it is a compilation of the hymns written by the saints from all the religions of India. I can sit at any religious gathering and enjoy(except the Jagrans where they sing songs loudly based on the tunes of hindi film songs )

Like other scriptures Gurubani also says that that God is one and Omnipresent.
Every living thing is a part of God.

Agam Agochar Alakh Apara….
Jal thal mahiyal bharpur lina..
Ghat Ghat jyoti tumhari.

The Aarti “Om Jai Jagdish hare..is very similar to Gurbaani.
“Tum ho ek agochar….”

That day I got a cassette(Mann Jeetai Jagjit) of Gurbani ,most of the words are in hindi.
It is sung by our very own Jugjit Singh. It is a treat to the ears.
