Wonderful Mother
God made a wonderful mother,
A mother who never grows old;
He made her smile of the sunshine,
And He moulded her heart of pure gold;
In her eyes He placed bright shining stars,
In her cheeks fair roses you see;
God made a wonderful mother,
And He gave that dear mother to me.
--Pat O"Reilly

Mother's Day
Mother's Day is a special day for honoring Mothers throughout the world. The Mother's Day holds great significance for all of us. "Mother carries the child in her womb for nine months and in her heart for the rest of her life”. These few words sum up the meaning and significance of the word Mother. Mother is undoubtedly the most beautiful and lovable word in any language. This goes to show the importance of mother in our lives. Mother stands for millions of things she gives to her children; it also stands for sacrifices pain, grief and sorrows which she has to undergo to keep her children happy and secure. No joy can match the joy of a mother looking at her child, those craving eyes-deeper than a whole ocean. The most important woman in an individual's life is her/his mother. Her presence affects us our entire life and she cannot be replaced by anyone.
Mother's Day
The kindest face I'll ever see,
The kindest voice I'll ever hear.
The one who cares the most for me
Is my own mother dear.
All through the year
I'll try to do
The things that show
My love for you.
And not be happy just to say,
"I love you, Mother," on Mother's Day.

Mother's Day
Celebrated every year, Mother's Day is an occasion when individuals express their love and respect that they have for their mother. It is time to pamper her for all she has done for us over the years.
Usko nahin dekha hamne kabhi
par uski jaroorat kya hogi eh Maa
eh Maa teri surat se alag
Bhagwan ki surat kya hogi kya hogi
usko nahin dekha hamne kabhi
Insaan toh kya Devta bhi
anchal me pahley tere
hai swarg ishi duniya mein kadmo ke tahley tere
mamta hi lootaye jis pe naiyan
aisi koi moorat kya hogi eh Maa
eh Maa teri surat se alag
Bhagwan ki surat kya hogi kya hogi
usko nahin dekha hamne kabhi
Kyon dhoop jalaye dukhon ki
kyon ghum ki ghata barse
yeh haath duaon waley rahtey hai sadha sar pe
tu hai toh andhere path me hamey
suraj ki jaroorat kya hogi eh Maa
eh Maa teri surat se alag
Bhagwan ki surat kya hogi
usko nahin dekha hamne kabhi
Kahetey hain teri shaan me toh
koi oonchey bhol nahin
Bhagwan ke pas bhi Maata tere pyar ka mohl nahin
hum to yehi jaane tujhse badi
sansar ki daulat kya hogi eh Maa
eh Maa teri surat se alag
Bhagwan ki surat kya hogi kya hogi
usko nahin dekha hamne kabhi

Akshaya Tritiya
Akshaya Tritiya
The word ‘Akshaya’ means imperishable and eternal prosperity that which never diminishes; hence any new ventures or beginnings made and valuables bought on this day are considered auspicious to bring good fortune and success.
Akshaya Tritiya is one of the most sacred and widely celebrated festivals of Hindus. It falls on the third lunar day (Tritiya) of the bright half moon of the ‘Vaishakh’ month (April-May). The special fasts and feasts of the Vaishakh month begin with Akshaya Tritiya.
According to Hindu astrology, every moment of this day is considered auspicious as one among the four most sacred and golden days of a year to start new business ventures, purchases, investing, griha pravesh and marriages etc.
Buying gold is a popular activity on Akshaya Tritiya, as it is the ultimate symbol of wealth and prosperity. Gold and gold jewellery bought and worn on this day signify never diminishing good fortune. Astrological significance
The reason for this day to be auspicious is the position of Sun and Moon on that particular day. Every year, Akshaya Tritiya falls on the third day of the bright half of Vaishakh month (between April 14th and May 14th) when the Sun in Aries and Moon in Taurus are in exalted position and that too at their peak of brightness simultaneously. This rare combination happens only once every year.
As the Sun, the lord of the planets and the Moon the lord of creativity (sense) are exalted, the day is considered to be an auspicious day in India.
The day believes to gain more importance when it falls on a Monday or when the moon is in Rohini. This year Akshaya Tritiya falls on 8th May 2008 on Thursday.
Religious significance
· According to Vedas, ‘Akshaya Tritiya’ marks the beginning of Treta Yug.
· The great sage ‘Parashurama’, the sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu was born on this day. The Puranas speak about how he reclaimed the land from the sea.
· Veda Vyasa along with Lord Ganesha started writing the great epic, the Mahabharata.
· Mother Ganges also descended to earth on this day. Hence A dip in the Ganges on this day is considered to be very auspicious.
· Vedas say that knowledge gained or charity done on this day is very fruitful and never ending.
It has been a ritual since years that people do some good deeds on this day such as donating food in temples, forgiving and forgetting the past to renew relationships, resolving to leave bad habits and practicing good habits in life etc. This is the actual significance behind celebrating this festival beside other scientific, religious, astrological significances which ultimately works for the betterment of an individual as well as a society.

Twinkle twinkle little star
I know, each one of you have studied this poem in pre-nursery classes in your childhood but only the first verse is widely known. Recently I came across its full version and immediately thought of sharing it with you all. The English lyrics have five verses, although only the first is widely known. The repetition of the first two lines at the end of each verse is not in the original, but is needed to fit the usual melody. Below is the whole text, without the repetition of the first two lines added. - Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
- How I wonder what you are!
- Up above the world so high,
- Like a diamond in the sky!
- When the blazing sun is gone,
- When he nothing shines upon,
- Then you show your little light,
- Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
- Then the traveler in the dark,
- Thanks you for your tiny spark,
- He could not see which way to go,
- If you did not twinkle so.
- In the dark blue sky you keep,
- And often through my curtains peep,
- For you never shut your eye,
- Till the sun is in the sky.
- As your bright and tiny spark,
- Lights the traveller in the dark,—
- Though I know not what you are,
- Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

Feelings
How I wish this fine breeze blowing outside could carry to you my hearty feelings. This may take a little long time to reach you and I am feeling annoyed with the slowness of our 'quick' means of communication. Your blogs appear to me the crowning achievement of your bubbling ideas and clear perception. This being my first blog, I would appreciate your frank opinion as to how I should improve and what all contents I can put at this platform.
