Aldous Huxley said “Every man’s memory is his private literature.”

I disagree …. With all due respect to this brilliant writer. Memories are so much more then works of creative imagination, or dramatization of reality, or philosopical statements … they are simply preserved moments of ones life.

Memories and faith are the only true possessions that one can genuinely claim. They are the only things that cannot be taken away. For some its their sole possession.

• Yaadein

Do you remember your moment of  revelation? …. was it a lightening bolt or a gentle dawning?

• chann chann

Life is sometimes nothing but a series of daydreams …

May everyone has their dream come true …

The world is shocked, not so much at the sad end this famous and talented entertainer has met but rather at the suddenness of the event.

Michael Jackson died today 6/25/2009 of an apparent cardiac arrest. Resuscitation attempts by the emergency response units and later by physicians at UCLA medical Center were futile. The news of singers death was confirmed by the Los Angeles Coroner.
