Earth Hour II

/ Guttu / Leave a comment

I missed it this year. Last year I even wrote a post about this. Check this link for the post. Another thing is that I thought it will be tomorrow. Last year Earth hour was on 29th March. I didn’t visit the site. Also I am lagging behind and my surfing time is going down these days. So wasn’t aware much till I landed on Google page for searching. There was the link for Earth Hour.

Though I missed it today I’ll do it tomorrow. Turning of everything for one hour will save a lot. It’s been days since my last post about environment. I scribbled in between the nonsense with environmental issues. But in the flow of writing Nonsense I forgot about the environment. You see that happens with every person. This happened unknowingly from me.

At this moment I am trying to recall my last conversation with Mother Nature. It was almost a year ago when I was on holiday at my uncle’s farm house. After that there has been a looooong gap.  It is almost like I am going away from nature. I don’t want this to happen.

So within two weeks I’ll be with nature for a short while. I promise this to myself. Meanwhile I will try to save energy and protect Earth from harmful CO2.  Join me and make a difference…

Why do we shout in anger

/ Guttu / 1 Comment

A saint asked his disciples, ‘Why do we shout in anger? Why do people shout at each other when they are upset?’

Disciples thought for a while, one of them said,
‘Because we lose our calm, we shout for that.’
‘But, why to shout when the other person is just next to you?’ asked the saint. ‘Isn’t it possible to speak to him or her with a
soft voice? Why do you shout at a person when you’re angry?’

Disciples gave some other answers but none satisfied the saint.
Finally he explained,
‘When two people are angry at each other, their hearts distance a lot. To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the stronger they will have to shout to hear each other through that great distance.’

Then the saint asked, ‘What happens when two people fall in love?
They don’t shout at each other but talk softly, why? Because their
hearts are very close. The distance between them is very small…’

The saint continued, ‘When they love each other even more, what happens? They do not speak, only whisper and they get even closer to
each other in their love. Finally they even need not whisper, they only look at each other and that’s all. That is how close two people are when they love each other.’

P.S: This is shared e-mail. I loved it and thought of sharing.

I am tired of being tired

Tired cat

An empty chair to seat
for my legs to get some rest
and my bumps to have some stress
Pain in body is relieved
but not vanished

Standing up relieves my bumps
And puts stress on my legs
I feel the pain
It gets worse
What is happening to me?

Pile of files in front of me
I am trying to focus
Cool breeze kisses me
My eyes are closing now
What was there in that breeze?

Out there under the sun
He is trying to suck me
Like orange juice
For me, water is not enough
Nothing is enough
Thirst is never satisfied

My bed is not my friend
Not anymore
Laying on bed hurts
All the pain at same time
Then my eyes get closed
It doesn’t take long

The symptoms are repeated
They seem to be perpetual
once again the same question
What is happening to me?
I am tired
No…
I am tired of being tired
