A Soldiers Lament to the President
This is something I found while trawling the internet for reports of a "Black Diwali" for the Armed Forces. I think it reflects  the simmering anger of those in the services.

Mountain View
This is my latest effort at painting from picture postcards. The photograph may look shiny in places because this painting is still in the process of drying. If you have seen this view before and can recognise it, then you have probably lived and/or  travelled to Europe and I"ve done a decent job of painting it  ;) more...

Memory.........
Memory is often used to recollect bad experiences, feelings rather than using it to recall / remember good expereinces or feelings; In most cases, left to itself, our mind tries to recollect bad experiences/feelings and never, as a rule, recollects experiences that had positive effect on us. I had this experience recently when I casually advised on...  more...

A LISTENER
THE NEED OF A LISTENER Everyone despises a person who talks very much. Talking is not a crime; no not at all.

According to me only a few people know how to ...  more...

Arrogance Vs humility
Life V2After reading about the life of a lot of Indian leaders, if I am able to identify one “Indian Value” which is common in most of them – it is ‘humbleness’.
