DAD....

Once upon a time a dad visited his son's nursery school class.

While he was there, he caught a conversation between his son and some other boys. There conversation went like this.

Child A: "My daddy is a doctor and he makes lots of money and we have a swimming pool."

Child B: "My daddy is a lawyer and he flies to Washington and talks to the president."

Child C: "My daddy owns a company and we have our own airplane."

Then our dad's boy said, "My daddy is here!" And he proudly looked in his father's direction.

Dads, your presence means more than anything else to your children - more than your money, more than your position at work, more than the toys you buy them. Your time means more to them than anything else, because it says, "I care."

7




The ancient Arabic literature states that love is classified into seven different shades. This is true even today. A genuine love compromises of these 7 shades…

The first shade of love:
Attraction - It is an invisible force that attracts two objects. Be it a positive or negative attraction, love often blossoms under the foundation of attraction.

The second shade of love:
Infatuation - The feeling where butterflies stirred in your stomach and feeling your heart racing a mile per minute. Infatuation is when he/she is the first person you think of in the morning, and the last person you think of at night.

The third shade of love:
Love - Under the fantasy of infatuation, love surfaces. Different from infatuation, love is when you think of that person every single moment and love him/her despite the surfacing flaws of this person.

The fourth shade of love:
Reverence - A strong sentiment of respect and esteem, sometimes mingled slightly with fear. Why fear? Because you might be afraid of commitment. Or you have doubts if this love is a heartfelt one or just a mere prank. Insecurities surface. The feeling of happiness yet mixed with fear makes you hesitate. But once you overcome this shade of love, you’re advanced to the next one…

The fifth shade of love:
Worship - He/She makes you feel blessed to have love and be loved. The feeling is similar to being in a cathedral where you got down on your knees and worship your loved one. You pictured her as an angel without those two celestial wings. You see this person as your guardian angel in life.

The sixth shade of love:
Obsession - Love is as much of an object as an obsession, everybody wants it, but few ever achieve it. With his/her existence, everything - even a smile, a touch, even a simple thing as a stare in the eyes means everything to you. You’re obsessed in love, you’re obsessed with this person.

The seventh shade of love:
Death - A true love story never ends with ‘…happily ever after’. A true love story ends with “Till death do us part…” This shade of love is the most riveting among all but it determines if the romance is strong enough to weather through storms even till the time of death. Still, death cannot stop true love. It can only delay it for a little while.

May you find the love of your life soon…

The Rebel

Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, chiefly responsible for drafting of The Constitution of India and a champion of human rights was born on the 14th April, 1891. After graduating from Elfinstone College, Bombay in 1912, he joined Columbia University, USA where he was awarded Ph.D. Later he joined the London School of Economics & obtained a degree of D.Sc. ( Economics) & was called to the Bar from Gray’s Inn.

On his return to India in 1923, he founded ‘Bahishkrit Hitkarini Sabha‘ with the main objective of spreading education & improving the economic conditions of the depressed classes. With the slogan of ‘Educate-Agitate-Organize’, the social movement led by Dr. Ambedkar aimed at Annihilation of Caste & the Reconstruction of Indian Society on the basis of equality of human beings.

In 1927, he led the march at Mahad, Maharashtra to establish the rights of the untouchables to taste water from the Public Chawdar Lake‘, traditionally prohibited to them. This marked the beginning of anti-caste & anti-priest movement. The temple entry movement launched by Dr. Ambedkar in 1930 at the Kalaram Temple, Nashik, Maharashtra is another landmark in the struggle for human rights & political justice. Dr. Ambedkar held the view that “Only political power cannot be a panacea for the ills of the depressed classes. Their salvation lies in their social elevation”. As a Member of the Viceroy’s Executive Council from July 1942 he was instrumental in bringing about several legislative measures to protect the rights of labourers & workers.



One of the greatest contributions of Dr. Ambedkar was in respect of Fundamental Rights & Directive Principles of State Policy enshrined in the Constitution of India. The Fundamental Rights provide for freedom, equality, and abolition of Untouchability & remedies to ensure the enforcement of rights. The Directive Principles enshrine the broad guiding principles for securing fair distribution of wealth & better living conditions.


On the 14th October, 1956, Babasaheb Ambedkar embraced Buddhism. He continued the crusade for social revolution until the end of his life on the 6th December 1956. He was honoured with the highest national honour, ‘Bharat Ratna’ in April 1990 . On December 6, 1956, Baba Saheb Dr. B.R. Ambedkar died peacefully in his sleep.


“My final words of advice to you is educate,agitate and organise;have faith in yourself.With justice on our side I do not see how we can lose our battle.For our’s is a battle not for wealth or for power.It is a battle for freedom.It is a battle for the reclamation of the human personality”

I FORGIVE YOU BECAUSE I LOVE YOU

How can these two words, love and forgiveness change your whole perspective on life? First, you must put your trust in something bigger than yourself. You may call it God, Spirit, Budda, whatever your faith is, trust that it has a bigger plan (could it be a lesson in forgiveness?) than your everyday troubles. What is the most important lesson you can learn while here on earth? Love and Forgiveness. But how do you get to the Love part if you have hatred in your heart? Forgive. It sounds so simple and yet it can be the most difficult thing that you can do in this lifetime.

You were wronged or someone betrayed you, how can you let that go? Forgive. Forgive and it will set your heart free. Here are some steps that can get you there. Feel your anger, feel your sadness, feel whatever it is you need to get all those emotions out. Give yourself a certain timeframe in which you will no longer continue to go on with those emotions. Now comes the hard part, trying to convince yourself that the other person deserves to be forgiven. Every time this hurt comes into your heart, say to yourself "I forgive "name" for what they have done". Every time you start to go over the scenario, and start to get angry or sad, instead replace it with "I forgive "name" for what they have done". You might not believe what you are saying at first. But sending that message out into the universe will eventually help break the chain of black energy that links you together with an invisible line of hate.

Hopefully it will hit you one day. You can let it go, the hate, the anger, the betrayal, how you were wronged and in a peaceful loving moment truly feel that forgiveness. The best possible way to break the chain of hate that connects you by an invisible link, is to stand and face this person and truly believing and feeling in your heart what you are about to say to them. "No matter what you have done to me, I forgive you" It is truly disarming, and can break that link that binds you. That's it! It may be a long and hard task to get to that one simple line.

What does it feel like? Once you have set each other free, your heart feels lighter, you have an overwhelming feeling of peace. You suddenly understand it all, the reason you are here, the lessons that you need to learn while on this earth plane. You will never be the same, because in every situation you can begin to feel compassion, humility and gratitude toward your fellow travelers here on earth. You can LOVE again. You are a radiant being moving forward in life. 

I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART
