NICE POEM FROM SUNDAY HERALD.

The Good and the Bad at the moment!


GOOD:God’s gift to me

G AMRUTHA


I prayed endlessly day and night
God appeared one fine morning
when the sun shone bright.
He asked me what do I want
I was speechless, I went into raptures.
He gave me two boxes.

I have in my hands two boxes
Which God gave me to hold.
He said “put all your sorrows in the black box,
And all your joys in the gold.”
I heeded His words, and in the two boxes,
Both my joys and sorrows I stored.
But though the gold became heavier each day,
The black was as light as before.
with curiosity, I opened the black,
I wanted to find out why,
And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole.

Which my sorrows had fallen out by
I showed the hole to God and mused,
“I wonder where my sorrows could be...?”
He smiled a gentle smile and said
“My child, they are all here with me”
I asked God, why he gave me the boxes,
Why the gold and the black with a hole?
“My child, the gold is for you to count your
Blessings, the black is for you to let go”

Yes, His kindness is boundless.
It is like a vast ocean of nectar.
His ways are myriad, countless.
He is a friend in all our endeavours.
I realised.

He remains in the train and at Railway Stations 🚉 He is robbed including his pants. He can’t fix himself to change in life. He calls Leonard. — Girmit (^‿^) (@cgBalu) March 24, 2019

66 😎

66. A number that once sounded distant. Now it sits quietly beside me, sipping morning air. This is not a fitness routine. This is not a medical prescription. This is a conversation with the body, before the world starts talking. Minute 0–2: Waking Up Without Arguments I don’t jump out of bed. I negotiate. A slow turn. Feet touch the floor. The hips complain softly — not rebellion, just a reminder: “Ease into the day.” I smile. We’ve known each other long enough. Minute 3–6: Gentle Movements — No Heroics A few knee bends near the wall. Hip circles — small, like drawing commas in the air. Marching in place, as if I’m late for nothing. This is not exercise. This is oiling old hinges. The body responds politely. Minute 7–11: Walking — The Best Medicine Slow. Then moderate. If the weather is kind and yesterday’s dinner was lighter, I allow myself a gentle upward slope. No speed targets. No apps judging me. Just footsteps, breath, and that quiet joy of still being able to move forward. Minu...

Happy blogging.

The Good and the Bad at the moment! GOOD:Google adsense has come to my blog. So more blogs today. Mobike - oil changed. New battery also. Answer to the quiz referred in the posting Evening posting is: The third. Lions that haven't eaten in three years are dead. Here is the second quiz: A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be? Answer definitely in the next posting. If only I could write so as to attract more comments the blogging affair would be fantastic. I learnt to write the html code seriouly today to make new window to open. In this posting evening posting would open in the new window.The html tags are like this: A href="http:new window" target=_blank /A The thing is that I should close the tags. I also went to some positive thinking sites through google ads. BAD:Mo bike mechani...
