Phantom of the Warrior King

In the Sandy Dunes of the Mystical Sahara
Where I lived amongst an ancient tribe
Gauging their ways of surviving the weather
So harsh, yet an accepted fact
I had nothing but a profound admiration

At Twilight, when the crescent moon smiled
We all gathered over burning sticks of wood
As a curly smoke wafted into the mysterious skies
Our Head Tribesmen recited stories of yore
Of the greatest Warrior King that ever lived

Now, a Phantom, that rides a black horse
Protects the desert from prying dark souls
Feared by thugs who venture the desert
For deporting hapless flesh trade lasses
Or transporting drugs and arms to several countries

A Sirocco often indicates the Warrior King's arrival
A galloping burly horse emerges from the whirling sand
Rearing up it's hind legs, makes a loud call
The Phantom, then, raises his mighty Sword
Time comes to a grinding halt

The moon's rays shine on his magical sword
Silver warm light it emits in the dark
Razor blades fly out of the steely weapon
Beheading those monsters behind the veil
Red blood spills on the sandy tracks

Skeletons arise from the depths of hell
Clicking and Clanking, they wobble on sand
Pulling the bodies down with the souls that plead
No mercy do they get for their gruesome acts
Suffering now, for the rest of their dead lives

God's abode

I feel very peaceful, whenever, I visit a temple.
I can sit there for hours. God resides in our hearts...
So, I guess when we are in a temple, it is like going to God's abode.
A journey that we are on...

Wise Words

"Nothing is worth running after. Everything happens for a reason,
and there are no coincidences in life."

The more you have the more humble you are
- Dhirubhai Ambani

it means that those individuals who are endowed with more virtues
tend to be more humble than empty vessels

If I give you fish you will never learn fishing, but if I teach you
fishing you wil never go hungry

Happiness and Sadness are a part of everyone's life. So, if we can cope
with happiness, we have to learn to cope with sadness too.

A Heart Person

I have always believed in following my heart. Events have confirmed my faith, time and again; that if we follow our heart, many doors towards a new life open for us. It does require a truckload of patience, a gigantic dose of faith in the higher power and gumption to never give up on our dreams no matter what....

History has been proof

When The Going Gets Tough Everyone can use a little inspiration now and then. We may be faced with challenges we are moving through, a job transition, growing a business, moving to the next level in a career or finishing a creative project. Each of us, at some point find can ourselves stuck and wondering when we will get through to the other side of the challenge. Here are a few examples of people who kept going even when the going got tough! The Beatles were turned down by ten recording companies before Capitol took them on as clients. They kept knocking on doors until the right one opened. Their music has now touched billions of lives. Albert Einstein did not speak until he was four years old, and didn't read until he was seven. His teacher described him as "mentally slow, unsociable, and adrift forever in foolish dreams." Einstein reshaped our perception of how the Universe operates. Time Magazine named him the "Person of the 20th Century". Before he was elected to the presidency, Abraham Lincoln lost nine public elections, declared bankruptcy twice, and weathered a nervous breakdown and the death of a fiancée. He is quoting as saying: "You cannot fail unless you quit." Babe Ruth, famous for setting a home run record, also holds the record for strikeouts. Harrison Ford played a bellboy in his first Columbia picture, 1966's "Dead Heat on a Merry-Go-Round," and a studio executive told him, "You ain't got it, kid," the "it" being star quality. Ford laughs at the story now. In the 1950's, one of the best ways struggling new talent could start on the road to fame and fortune was to appear on a nationally televised program called the "Ted Mack Amateur Hour." A singer from Tennessee tried out for the show, but failed the audition. Today few people under 50 remember the "Ted Mack Amateur Hour" or any of the "winners" of the audition the singer failed, but every year the legend of the young man from Tennessee, Elvis Presley, grows. Thomas Edison tried two thousand different materials in search of a filament for the light bulb. When none of them worked out, his assistant complained, "All our work is in vain. We have learned nothing." Edison replied confidently, "Oh, we have come a long way and we have learned a lot. We now that there are two thousand elements which we cannot use to make a good light bulb." Walt Disney was fired by a newspaper editor for his lack of ideas. He also went bankrupt several times before he built Disneyland. The popular "Chicken Soup for the Soul" book was rejected by 140 publishers. One publisher said "yes" and the successful Chicken Soup series was born
