Today SomeOne I have been adoring since childhood, who is adored by millions alike , who has really helped my loved ones in impossible times (something people who can relate to can admire...) and helped me in my tough times too .....bid adieu to this world ..........

I wish that people remember and appreciate his good deeds and selfless,flawless helping attitude and the way he transformed the lives of many; but really sad by the fact that majority believes in digging up the dirt and scrutinizing dead / meaningless facts ......... Though it really doesn't matter to those who understand ..................

Tribute .......

Had a new and different kind of experience .........
Spent night at YPR railway station ...
Thought that Indian Railway stations, as usual would be buzzing with activities and alive with colorful people colorful faces :-)
And my "generalization" usually sucks! ....The station was deserted after my mother's train left ..............
Wasnt allowed into the waiting room as I was not carrying a valid ticket ..platform ticket doesnt count I think .... The waiting room was empty though .... Guess the fear of getting told off by the higher authority took over the sensibility and humanity there ...
So spent the night sitting on stairs in front of the room for the sake of seeing a couple of faces inside and reassuring myself "all is well" ....
It rained entire night and I was not carrying warm clothes .........
Got a bit of idea as to how homeless people feel .........
Do they too feel dejected , helpless , lone and happiness sucked out leaving a larger bit of their soul dead .........
It is difficult to deal with the way life is dealing with you and your present conditions ..I really hail people who make the best out of it ....there are many examples ............. To keep yourself cheerful when everything seems dead against ..is the real spirituality and definitely that should be one of our end-goals .........
When a tragedy strikes a nation/city/a civilization...the line between "have-s" and "have-nots" is merged suddenly and it is really painful to imagine how would it feel when everything that made you happy and safe till date is taken/snatched away ...
And people deal with it and move on...Japan's recent tragedy is an example ..........
It is wonderful to be a "human being" and be able to feel and analyze, empathize and sympathize :) :)

The joy of being a foodie :)
