good moral story on love...


There was once a lonely girl who longed desperately for love. One day while she was walking in the woods she found two starving song birds. She took them home and put them in a small gilded cage. She nurtured them with love and the birds grew strong. Every morning they greeted her with a marvelous song. The girl felt great love for the birds. She wanted their singing to last forever.
One day the girl left the door to the cage open. The larger and stronger of the two birds flew from the cage. The girl watched anxiously as he circled high above her. She was so frightened that he would fly away and she would never see him again that as he flew close, she grasped at him wildly. She caught him in her fist. She clutched him tightly within her hand. Her heart gladdened at her success in capturing him.
Suddenly she felt the bird go limp. She opened her hand stared in horror at the dead bird. Her desperate clutching love had killed him.
She noticed the other bird teetering on the edge of the cage. She could feel his great need for freedom. His need to soar into the clear, blue sky. She lifted him from the cage and tossed him softly into the air. The bird circled once, twice, three times. The girl watched delighted at the bird's enjoyment. Her heart was no longer concerned with her loss.She wanted the bird to be happy.
Suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly on her shoulder. It sang the sweetest melody, she had ever heard.
The fastest way to lose love is to hold on too tight, the best way to keep love is to give it -- WINGS!
Great lesson of Love, We are of opinion that possessiveness love may increase, but the truth is that Love cannot be gained by control or possessiveness.. Seems to be a paradox, but it seems it is the reality...

memorable trip

Dawn started out journey to Srisailam


Sun ready to start its routine duty!

Rural early morning mist, serene and sleepy


The Calm road with green avenue

The route passing through thick jungle... monkeys are common & plenty


The route passing through uninhabitant landscapes and jungles.,eerie silence

The valleys, trees, shrubs, everywhere....destination not to be seen

Suddently green fields...and natures bounty

The Srisailam temple side gopuram - Sun's rays kissing the gopuram

The main entrance ot Srisailam temple

The ghat-forest route to Mahanandhi

The forest is thick, dark and mysterious

Till eyesight ends, no human inhabitants to be seen, only mountains and forests

Infrastructural development work- canal work under progress -enroute

A feel of the route, deserted, isolated, no much traffic!

It become evening when nearing Nandyal.. the dawn and rays of despair, maalai nerathu mayakkam!!!!
Could glimpse the traditional water extraction method in a fertile field.

A lotus pond - big enough to call a lake!!!

The Mahanandhi temple, backdroping beautiful mountain.

buring the waste in a field..
Last week I made a trip to the famous temples in Andhra Pradesh, namely Srisailam and Mahanandhi.The shrine of Lord Mallikarjuna picturesquely situated on top of Nallamalai Hills, Srisailam is reputed to be one of the most ancient kshetras in India. It is on the right side of the River Krishna in Kurnool District of Andhra Pradesh.
The Srisailam temple is excellent, the shiva linga is a jyothirlinga and the size of the linga here is small. The route from Hyderabad to Srisailam is a real treat to nature lovers.
Still wonderful is that the route from Srisailam to Mahanandhi, as it is passing through thick forests. One can see the nature in its abundance, with varied landscape, such as hills, mountains, plains, fertile lands, green agriculture fields, water bodies, lakes, ponds, plain landmass and so on
Overall The trip was pleasant, as there is no much traffic flow and seldom one could find any vehicle coming across. In one place towards a narrow one way lane to Kurnool (110 Kms), from there another lane to Nandyal, where Mahanandi is situated, there we got struct for a while as road repair work was in progress. For kilometers nothing is available, lucky if you have water or eatables. One of the road laying worker, who was old and weak, after sternous work is pleading everyone for drinking water in that jungle, ( he told that he is looking for water but not available anywhere nearby) but nobody gave water to drink, he approached us and eventhough I was little hesitant initially as we have just one plastic bottle of water, but that poor man's plight made us to donate the water bottle to him, he drank it fully, and it made me to think how important and precious water is... One could imagine if our vehicle struck inbetween what is the fate....
The Mahanandhi temple is wonderful... there is water-flow, by way of canal inside the temple, and there is bathing ghat ( theppa kolam) inside the temple. The temple and its surrounding is very pleasant in Mahanandhi and one could feel the rural ambience in abundance.
The strange think what we saw in the Mahanandhi temple is the mosquito menance, we could see mosquito coils near the shrines...Since the temple is located near forest, that could be some different variety of forest mosquitoes....its bit is terrible and makes people to scratch their skins.
The return journey through the Kurnool - Hyderabad Highway... was a pleasant one as there is well laid road, on one side road expansion work under progress - 4 lane road conversion, neverthless the return journey was speedy... Overall it was an unforgettable journey indeeed...
this trip made me to accept - our Country India is truely an Incredible !ndia..
We havent explored it fully, It needs more time and energy to explore, still there are plenty of places in India to see and enjoy, Truely India is incredible, mystic and one could see varied facets of life, culture, habits, people, and places.

nice one on relationship

A Good Relation does not Depend on How Good Understanding We Have,
but it Depends on How We Avoid Misunderstanding

good one


Easy is to get a place is someones address book.
Difficult is to get a place in someones heart.
Easy is to judge the mistakes of others
Difficult is to recognise our own mistakes
Easy is to talk without thinking
Difficult is to refrain the tongue
Easy is to hurt someone who loves us.
Difficult is to heal the wound...
Easy is to forgive others
Difficult is to ask for forgiveness
Easy is to set rules.
Difficult is to follow them...
Easy is to dream every night.
Difficult is to fight for a dream...
Easy is to show victory.
Difficult is to assume defeat with dignity...
Easy is to admire a full moon.
Difficult to see the other side...
Easy is to stumble with a stone.
Difficult is to get up...
Easy to borrow wisdom like this from internet....
Difficult is to follow the same.
