Seriously

Time slips away like a fistful of sand, as I look at another strand of my white hair.
I realise its not just me, wasting away all the good, that was given.
Now, I want to invest, all that I have, in one precious place, where I know it will matter.
Seriously, If you heard me say this before, then you'll hear me say this once again.
Listen, even if it means that I shake you a bit too roughly and ask you,
"is what you're doing worth it, when it all slips away so soon?"
I am learning myself to invest all I have and not to spend or throw it away,
Yes, I am talking about my life, and quite clearly at that!
But, I don't wanna wait till I learn it all, and then tell you about it.
When it might just be too late for me, for you.
I wanna tell you now...invest in what matters...matters for eternity!

Even in dying embers, lights up if there is but a spark. Finds and trudges on towards that distant light,  amidst deepest darkness. No mountain too high, no sea too wide, to climb, to cross. 'Tis hope, That keeps us going on. 'Tis hope, That makes us stay. 'Tis hope, That lightens up the load.  'Tis hope, that the seed, dormant for many years, once sown, finds life. Romans 15:13  - May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. 1...

Mumbai and Memories

Image
I must have been all of ten, when we first came to Mumbai. It was called "Bombay" then, a scintillating city of dreams, with superstars of celluloid, walking the streets as mere humans. Our hosts recommended that we visit the popular hotel "Sun-n-Sand" where we would surely encounter some of these stars. I don't quite remember seeing any such stars at the hotel, but unknowingly some scenes etched into my memories: the famous Juhu beach on which the hotel stood, the sun setting on the the Arabian Ocean where we took our photos, and the tables by the swimming pool where we sipped our cool drinks and enjoyed our ice-creams. Today, as I walked into the hotel, after a good forty years or so, the scenes came flooding back. I ran towards the pool, but it was under repair. Then the beach, almost nothing had changed. Then the sunset, vivid and enduring as ever, reminding me once again of a song: Carpenters "Its Yesterday Once More!" "All my best memories c...
