--o Re Kabira 0033 o-- you are 10 now 26-March-2018   oh dear.. Aadit you are 10 now it seems only few days when you were born & cried out loud it seems only few days when we saw your tiny hands and had tears of joy it seems only few days when we brought you home to 16 Pelham Court oh dear.. Aadit you are 10 now it seems blink of eye since you crawled down the bed and didn't cry it seems blink of eye since you spoke first word  "mmmm" and not “ppppp” it seems blink of eye since you almost swallowed a nail and got first smack oh dear.. Aadit you are 10 now it seems just like yesterday since you walked and soon ran it seems just like yesterday since you rode a scooter and soon a bike it seems just like yesterday since you went to nursery and soon to school oh dear.. Aadit you are 10 now it seems unbelievable how you grew tall and taller everyday it seems unbelieva...

--o Re Kabira 0032 o-- Henna temporary it may be, short-lived it could be, timeless are memories, eternal are joys,  transient is the pain, everlasting is the scent, o henna.. it's not just you, no different.. life is same. -- Ashutosh Jhureley -- --o Re Kabira 0032 o--

--o Re Kabira 0030 o-- सतरंगन  बोले ओ रे कबीरा,  मूरख ! जे संसार लिपा सतरंगन में। काहे खोजे मानुष मतलब को, काले-सफ़ेद शब्दन में।। बोली जसोदा रंग दे राधा, गोपन को सतरंगन में। न चढ़े तोहे कोई रंग, देख ले प्रेम रंग नैन न में।। आज सब खेरो होली, चपेड़ सबको सतरंगन में। हस दो एक दूजे पे,  होर देख खुदको दरपन में।। ।। होली है ।। Happy Holi Life is full of colors, then why is everyone trying to find meaning in black-and-white words (books). No color can overcome the color of love. On Holi, smile at yourself and laugh away all the sorrows with colors in your life. ।। Happy Holi  ।। --o आशुतोष झुड़ेले o-- --o Ashutosh Jhureley o-- 2018 --o Re Kabira 0030 o--

--o Re Kabira 0029 o--  दीपक पावक आँनिया,तेल भि आना संग। तीन्यँ मिलि करि जोइया, उड़ि उड़ि पड़ैं पतंग।। --o संत कबीर दास  o-- Translation: Ingredients of light are lamp, oil and fire. Once there is light, insect automatically gets attracted and intensity of fire kills them.   --o Sant Kabir Das o-- My Interpretation: Similarly, true knowledge can be achieved once you have guru (lamp), respect for guru (oil) and devotion to gain knowledge (fire). All thought leading to misdeed vanishes with the power & intensity of knowledge.      --o Re Kabira 0029 o--

A Year of Togetherness & Travel is the best caption to describe my 2024 journey. As I promised me, worked very hard on the career front, and focussed on getting back health agenda on track. And I think, I partially succeeded. Along the way, a lot of beautiful memories created. Family was centre of everything last year. Aadit did well in GCSE and is now focused on career goals. He had his first paid tabla performance this year. Aditi is focussed on her career aspirations as well. Throughout the year travelling, whether for work or leisure, meeting family, get together with friends was on the cards. Went to a lot of places, and most of the places took me down the memory lane. Childhood games, school friends, college days, hostel time, initial job interviews, first job, favourite motorcycle, lovely food and a lot of it, old scrapbooks, rusty photo albums, beautiful people, parties, get together, wedding, old friends, not so old friends, and made more friends topped with family, close ...
