This is the log of stuff I want to share with friends and strangers alike. Things like cartoons, photos, quotes, videos, songs and sometimes my rants.

Only an Aunt can give hugs like a mother, can keep secrets like a sister
and share love like a friend ~ Spanish Proverb.
Glad to have become one!
I fear I will be a very indulgent and spoiling aunt 
Discipline??? The onus lies with parents
I am so so happy!!!

Goddess
In Hinduism, Maa Durga is a form of Devi, the supremely radiant goddess, depicted as having ten arms, riding a lion or a tiger, carrying weapons and a lotus flower, maintaining a meditative smile, and practicing mudras, or symbolic hand gestures; created as a warrior goddess to fight an asura (an inhuman force/demon) named Mahishasura
Stretched over many months, the procedure of making idols is an elaborate one. It involves creating a basic structure with straw or jute and slapping wet clay onto this. Fleshing out the body comes next followed by paring and patting the limbs into shape. The entire body surface is then smoothed. A coat of flesh-coloured paint is applied and the lips and nails painted a bright red. “The mythological texts describe the goddess as having ‘a complexion like unbeaten gold or morning sunshine and long eyes that stretch till the ears.’ The clothes and ornaments represented by the snowy white filigree work done in shola (the pith of river rushes) which, besides exquisite craftsmanship, possesses an ethereal kind of beauty.
Where do you search me
मोको कहाँ ढूंढे रे बन्दे
मैं तो तेरे पास में
ना तीरथ में, ना मूरत में
ना एकांत निवास में
ना मंदिर में, ना मस्जिद में
ना काबे कैलास में
मैं तो तेरे पास में बन्दे
मैं तो तेरे पास में
ना मैं जप में, ना मैं तप में
ना मैं बरत उपास में
ना मैं किरिया करम में रहता
नहिं जोग सन्यास में
नहिं प्राण में नहीं पिंड में
ना ब्रह्माण्ड आकास में
ना मैं प्रकुति प्रवार गुफा में
नहिं स्वांसों की स्वांस में
खोजी होए तुरत मिल जाऊं
इक पल की तलास में
कहत कबीर सुनो भई साधो
मैं तो हूँ विश्वास में
English Translation:
Where do you search me?
I am with you
Not in pilgrimage, nor in icons
Neither in solitudes
Not in temples, nor in mosques
Neither in Kaba nor in Kailash
I am with you O man
I am with you
Not in prayers, nor in meditation
Neither in fasting
Not in yogic exercises
Neither in renunciation
Neither in the vital force nor in the body
Not even in the ethereal space
Neither in the womb of Nature
Not in the breath of the breath
Seek earnestly and discover
In but a moment of search
Says Kabir, Listen with care
Where your faith is, I am there.
Kabir
