Birth and Resurrection

Yeah...I am actually back! Much of the last few months were spent preparing for imminent life changes. And on June 25th, it happened! The joy of our life came into existence and took over our lives. It sure might seem matter-of-factly for the experienced. For the uninitiated, the lead up to the moment is challenging and full of questions. Anxiety becomes second nature and doubt engulfs you. What eventually transpires then frees the mind and the clouds clear subsequently. Of course, a different kind of fear then takes over. For our mind invites, if not breeds, worries. But let us revel in the happiness that is due to this time of our lives.

I plan to regularly update my column from now on; resurrecting it so to speak. Rebirth is an oft spoken topic among Indians. How many times have we engaged in confabulations that ended or began with "...agle janam mein..."? I wrote a satirical article a while back (circa 1995) that had some fun things to say about the circle of life and ties it humorosly to rebirth. I intend to post this sometime soon. As of now the only thing that is getting a new lease on life is this blog. Keep reading and posting comments.
