Random thoughts - playful and frolic

Climbing new heights being enthusiastic

Carrying half born DESIRES in their womb

Unaware of the realities so dark so gloom

He was never amongst the one who slaughtered lives in the name of religion or sect until his own self came under the scanner killing his only daughter who was just four at that time; the catastrophe that killed the angel in him giving birth to the ruthless devil, who was always in look out for the new life to satisfy his revenge. The sight of his daughter’s body draped in white cloth with the stains of red completely broke him and his love for her poured from the eyes, the remnants of tears that couldn’t fall formed a lump within igniting the fire of revenge that continued to burn even after claiming so many lives.

Behind The Book. . .

Shattered Dreams is the sequel to the national bestseller, Rise of the Sun Prince, in the new spiritual and motivational series Ramayana - The Game of Life. Twelve joyful years have passed in Ayodhya since the wedding of Rama and Sita at the end of Book 1.

Now, in Shattered Dreams, Shubha Vilas narrates the riveting drama of Rama’s exile. Through tales of Rama’s unwavering and enigmatic persona, the book teaches us how to handle reversals positively; through Bharata’s actions, it teaches us to handle temptation; and through Sita’s courage, to explore beyond our comfort zone. This complicated family drama provides deep insights on how human relationships work and how they fail.

With Valmiki’s Ramayana as its guiding light, Shattered Dreams deftly entwines poetic beauty from the Kamba Ramayana and Ramacharitramanas, as well as folk philosophy from the Loka Pramana tales, to demonstrate how the ancient epic holds immediate relevance to modern life. Experience the ancient saga of the Ramayana like never before.

The worst of the pain of separation is the pain of parting with oneself. The realization of the same might take time to come but when it comes it dooms you completely. This is why and where Introspection assumes greater importance. Spare few moments from your daily lives to contemplate your thought and actions & the reflection which comes would surely be the truest and purest of all. At the minimum, it will make you the better person to live with.

It’s been exactly a year since he had left her alone after spending more than fifty years of togetherness, sharing all those discrete moments of hope and despair which together forms the bouquet of life. Her final moments with him just before his death are still afresh in her memory when he had promised her to come back and as their hands joined together to form a cusp of agreement, its warmth went away forever.

***Our tender heart engulfs within an ocean of memories half forgotten and half sleeping in some deep dark corner. When that gust of wind stirs that dark corner, those memories come alive again and some old forgotten song of love once again start playing in the heart***

~~~ Poem in Hindi ~~~

मदमस्त हवा का झोंका आया

संग अपने कुछ यादे लाया

भूली बिसरी नयी पुरानी

कुछ ऐसी सौगाते लाया
