Happiness in Mail

Sandese Aate Hain Humein Tadpaate Hain To Chitthi Aati Hai To Poochh Jaati Hai Ke Ghar Kab Aaoge Ke Ghar Kab Aaoge Likho Kab Aaoge Ki Tum Bin Ye Ghar Soona Soona Hai .. Don't get scared, I am not writing poetry; that too in Hindi.. Thank god, I was out of school long back otherwise my Hindi teacher would have disowned me now. This day started with this song in my mind. I didn't know how it all started. This song is sung by the soldiers in the country border.

Perception varies person to person; similarly your happiness could be different from mine. This morning when I went out to my balcony, I saw a group of residents performing their morning yoga.

In ancient times love and romance were not taboo issues in India. Indian art forms like literature and sculpture promoted love and romance. Kings and Emperors encouraged adorning their harems. Kalidasa wrote three love based works ‘Shakuntla’, ‘Meghadhootam’ and Vikrama-Oorvashiyam’ still remembered for its elegance and imagination. Khajuraho sculptures stand as a symbol for love and sex and attracts tourists across the globe. They also show serenity and diversity of the Indian culture over the centuries. Sometimes we fantasize ourselves to have lived in that love story or to be loved that way at least for that moment. When we enjoy ...
