HILLTOP PAVILLION - A painting by Deepak Menon

T'is the place !!!!!
And a song I just composed sung
to the tune of "Home,Home on the Range"
which every one should know!
"Home Home on the heights"
Oh! Give me a home
Where the flowers will bloom
And the air is so balmy and light
That I would not exchange
That Pavillion of Change
For all of the cities so bright
Home Home on the heights
With the eagles are in full flight
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word
And the songs of love are in flight
.
I would not forego
The soothing winds blow
For all of the plains great might
So give me a home
Where the bees always roam
And the stars are always so bright
Home Home on the heights
With the eagles are in full flight
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word
And the songs of love are in flight
.
I would not exchange
That Pavillion of Change
For all of the cities so bright
So Build it on the hill
Where songs of faries trill
And life is just one great thrill
Home Home on the heights
Where the birds with grass hoppers play
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word
And the night is full of loves rays
.....Deepak Menon

Beautiful Truth - A picture of two wonderful little souls

THIS PICTURE WAS SENT TO ME AS AN
EMAIL BY A FRIEND AND IT HAS A HINDI
WORD IN IT. THE WORD IS "SACHEE" -
WHICH MEANS "REALLY!"


The love of a child in its innocence, is the love of beauty
transcending the lessons of beauty and love our
world teaches and tries to instill in us .
Love is incomparable and it
sees the beauty of
the soul
in us.

A verse from "The Lingering Fragrance" Short Story by Deepak Menon

Strange, that you stand here alone and cry
.
Though your battle is won and lifeless I lie!

.
Strange, why you do not rejoice at your triumph!

.
Is it at Victories Door, - you saw a dream die?

Jealousy - Thoughts by Deepak Menon

11. JEALOUSY
.
11.1 Beware of jealousy. It will reduce the strongest mind to
imbecility. It will reduce the strongest body to a bag of bones.
And it will burn out all emotions forever.
.
11.2 The jealous are like the clouds passing on overhead.
One is never sure when one or the other will pour.
.
11.3 Behold the great Oracle. He can tell you every thing that
will happen in the future - except the actions of one afflicted
with jealousy.
And thats that!!

A touch of genius - A quote by Albert Einstien

"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger,
more complex, and more violent.
It takes a touch of genius and a lot of courage
to move in the opposite direction."

THE HEAVENS WEPT FOR YOU - Just a thought I had

THE HEAVENS WEPT FOR YOU

The hills were alive with the softness
Of the voice of the falling droplets
of the tears of the skies
But you were not ever to know
That the heavens too were
Missing the brightness of you!
As I was…….

An Excerpt from the Song of Hiawatha by Longfellow

The Song of Hiawatha
by Henry W. Longfellow
.
"Face to face we speak together,
But we cannot speak when absent,
Cannot send our voices from us
To the friends that dwell afar off;
Cannot send a secret message,
But the bearer learns our secret,
May pervert it, may betray it,
May reveal it unto others."
.
Thus said Hiawatha,
walkingIn the solitary forest
.
This excerpt arose out of a
memory I had, of when I read
the Song of Hiawatha
many many years ago and
long before I learnt the meaning
of a friend or of love or of eternity...
I wish you all the best my friend
