Tribute to PRINCESS DIANA - One Lady, the world loved most...
I really do not blive there is anything to Diana except beauty. she s
just a hyped character. And she wasnt royal either was married into
royalty. If she was such a epitome of goodness how come she left her
husband , had affairs and neglected her kids.?the brits can make a
saint of her , but why do indians ?Has she done anything special for
us? the sad part is Mother teresa's death was overlooked when diana
died.!!as somebody said 'a beautiful woman can get away with anything'.

Yamuna Flows Through History
ELIXIR OF LIFE
Water is the elixir of life say the wise but today the lack of it might lead to the next world war. It wouldn’t be a surprise to find the world fighting for water. It will soon be a case of ‘water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink’ and quench your thirst. With the global warning scare and the icecaps melting and rivers rising and then drying up anything is possible. Specially when the world’s rivers are under threat of pollution .
Rivers are the life givers and sustainers right fromGanga
, Jamuna, Sararaswati, Bhagirathi, Godavari , Cauvery, Narmada
and Sindhu . They are mentioned in the national anthem and earlier daily prayers
in obeisance to mother nature were held in many places. The rivers were
held in high regard and esteem.
The mystical origin of rivers read like a fairy tale . How the pride ofGanga was held in Lord Shiva’s matted locks
while the rest flowed down in harmony to earth. Sage Agastya’s kamandala held
the Kavery and Ganesha in the guise of a cow gently tilted it and lo and behold
Kaveri flowed , meandering through Karnataka. Today Tamil nadu and Karnataka
are squabbling for her waters.
Rivers are feminine and givers and sustainers, they rise as though out of nowhere and change course or even mysteriously disappear like Saraswati. The Parsis worship Aza Yazad as the goddess of water , a feminine deity who helps in procreation. So it is silly to try and territorise them or bind them but learn how best to use rivers for the benefit of all.
See how theNile , the Tigris
and the Brahma putra flow their respective courses without political
interference. Let the waters be for it
is said never play with fire and water. A mere trickle may become a dangerous
tsunami .
World wild life has predicted that 10 of the largest rivers in the world are drying or dying including theNile , the
Danube and the Mekong . These
rivers are the lifelines of a civilization. If we go back we can see that every
great civilization has a river behind it.
We should protect our waters and not destroy it by industrial pollution . Myths, history and culture and rivers go hand in hand.We should revive them and save them from disappearing, becoz without water life will cease.The blue planet will become an arid desert .
