Sky on Fire

My Sky is on Fire
The earth is not my abode
Hither I wonder
Remember I am the Vulcan
Thrown out of heaven
Still too proud for the earth.

A good philosophy, Datta. The lines can easily be written on the picture and shared on social sites. (Y)

Great lines. There are a lot of people who find themselves in Trishanku's heaven, Vulcan's position. Neither in heaven nor on the earth. Herman Hess wrote a novel, Steppenwolf, on that theme.

10 Books that you should read to know life better

Photo Source: elgarblog.files.wordpress.com Books are my first love. Books are my first friends, my best friends for life. My only hope in distress. My anti depressant. People often joked that I could even find a telephone directory interesting. Recently Shruthi Raghunandan nominated for a similar challenge in FB and one of the friends whom I nominated obliged by saying if you have the list of only ten books read more books :P. So, going forward I am a person with a big heart. I fall in love very easily. I fall for people fast and I fall for a book real fast. So, all the books I have read are my favourite. But here I manage to have those books where I felt I am just into the story. I spent days and nights with them, seeing them. Living with them in their home. Advicing them, being real worried for them. The books which became me and the I became the books. Books which were there while I was growing up. Books which were there to show a newly wed bride how to deal with this new

"It is a pleasure to love you, to know you." she said as she wiped the tears that rolled out of her eyes and touched her swollen lips. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "It will hurt a little but then it will be over." said the boy to his girlfriend in the flat next to hers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I have forsaken my identity for you and will again forge a new identity if you want."She said looking at him, her lips throbbing with pain all the while. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Isn't it wrong? You are engaged?" said the girlfriend next door, sitting back on the bed where her boyfriend had laid her. "Then why doesn't it feel wrong?" answered the boyfriend with a smile laying her back. ------------

When I first stepped as a nervous newbie in that school little did I know how far will helping others take me. My first day in a new school and a new city was horrible. I joined mid session in the month of  September. On the first day as I entered the class all the kids were playing as the assembly bell was yet to ring. I was all of nine and half years studying in 5th Standard. After assembly I was introduced formally and was made to sit in a bench in the last rows because of my height. The first day was: Me smiling a friendly smile at all. All frowning back at me. This went on for a month till the mid terms I used to sit in a corner and quietly do my work. The Mid Term elevated my status from a "New comer Nobody" to "One of the Toppers Somebody". Atleast people didn't frown the just returned my smile with a blank stare. Then that day came: One of the classmates accidentally dropped his tiffin and I quietly forwarded my tiffin and said him to have it. He had his
