Alone I stand
When I take a stand
For the most dearest of mine
To stand by me
May not be possible
As they have to keep the worldly pretensions.
Who am I ?
Just one of many in this tapestry
Today it is me
Tomorrow who it would be ?
Time tests everyone
Many close their eyes
Very few stand by the reality
Courageous and undaunted
They are the ones not afraid
To face the MIRROR everyday

The shining exterior may be empty inside
Do not go by the outer display of affection
This is entrapment……. look deeper

It is said before, and being said today but are we listening ❔❓❔
Every time I see people paying rich tributes and sharing Memories of the loved ones /friends/acquaintances who have left the earth and moved on, it reminds me of a famous punjabi saying . It means that when people are alive you are not much bothered but the moment someone dies, he/she becomes focus of your existance.
When we are going through rough patch, the reality hits. Curtsey visit or offering help is almost obsolete in todays world as all of a sudden people act too busy. Even a phone call is a big favour and most of the time instead of asking welfare of the person, they would make you realise how busy they are.
Only few stand by and genuinely help you in your difficult times. These are the times to reflect and take a stand on who stays and who goes out. So that when we leave the earth, there may be few but they would be genuine grievers.

Love is a gentle breeze connecting the world with its fragrance
Hate is a stale air suffocating the world
Let us join hands in love and send the breeze to the people of Afghanistan in their hour of despair

Hearing others talk about you is
Mere perceptions
What you are
Is only you know
Why ?
To get offended or upset
By what people say

To proof oneself right
We often hurt the people
Who stand by our side in difficult times

For me inspiration is not found in the books or idealism of known names. It is in the extra ordinary people whose daily routine is an example for others. Exploring, experimenting and innovating not only creates Artist , also the world of harmony.
Would like to share with you life of someone, who in his view is very ordinary, but for the people who are associated with him in any way (friends, relatives, neighbors) his simplicity and disciplined way of life is worth to follow.
At age of 78, when most people feel that they have nothing to learn or share, here is a man who is multi talented and still learning. He is into wood sculptures , mostly miniatures, a self-taught attempt. Bonsai is one of his interest and he has good collection of these.
Dr S. P Padha ,a medical professional ,an eye specialist ,retired as professor from Medical College Jammu. He lives in Jammu , INDIA. His childhood was spent in a small town of rural background, nothing like extra curricular activities or hobbies during those days.
When I asked him what lead him to learn pottery?
In his own words “ I was often fascinated by artisans like blacksmith and Potters giving shape to objects. I came in contact with Sh.Suman ji a couple of years back and became morning walk buddies. I learned about pottery workshop being run by Ms.Jyoti ji (Suman’s wife) at Blue River Cermics pottery centre With my interests in different art forms, I attended one of her workshop as an observer. Fascinated by the running hands on that wheel my creative instincts and their encouragement lead me to try my hand on Potter’s wheel. Jyoti ji is a very patient teacher which made me to learn about basics of pottery.”
Wood sculptureIt is not just the art but he keeps himself update with the fast moving world of wi-fi and technology. His views are that Internet is a great help in dissemination of information and knowledge.
His simplicity, humble and disciplined life is a message of encouragement for anyone looking for a mentor.
