Tossing their heads in sprightly dance

287_Daffodils
Today's word is Daffodils.
“It is daffodil time, so the robins all cry,
For the sun's a big daffodil up in the sky,
And when down the midnight the owl call "to-whoo"!
Why, then the round moon is a daffodil too;
Now sheer to the bough-tops the sap starts to climb,
So, merry my masters, it's daffodil time.”
~ Clinton Scollard

Damn! I cannot find my DQ Lab Chumma Draw book.
But it WILL be found and an entry will be made!
< I RESERVE this space >
stop and smell the flowers
A lovely poem i found on a blog
We fail to notice
Things around us
Things, we take for granted
Cause we know
It will be
Tomorrow and the day next
Flowers for instance,
Grow quietly,
Unknowingly,
Spreading its warmth and joy to everyone and anyone
But do we once
Stop and smell the flowers
No instead
We pluck them,
We tramp them,
We throw them,
And we walk passed them
Never do we praise its beauty,
Selflessly,
And lovingly.
That’s because we are too absorbed
In our very own machine-like lives, that
We refuse to notice anything but ourselves!
So I plead to you now,
Stop and smell the flowers
Before it’s too late!

281_Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Today's word is Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
"To be a qawwal is more than being a performer, more than being an artist. One must be willing to release one's mind and soul from one's body to achieve ecstasy through music. Qawwali is enlightenment itself."
"To be a qawwal is more than being a performer, more than being an artist. One must be willing to release one's mind and soul from one's body to achieve ecstasy through music. Qawwali is enlightenment itself."
"Sufi music tries to banish the hatred living within all human beings. It
does not belong to any one culture, but to all of us. It stands for
bhaichara. The great Sufis have said that there is no value in namaz if
your soul is not clean, no value of bathing in the Ganga, if your
thoughts are impure. God is to be achieved through love. Mohabbat (love)
is the ultimate reality."
~ Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

279_Independence Day
Today's word is Independence Day.
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection:
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is lead forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action —
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
~ Rabindranath Tagore

Has Ke Bola Karo :)
Quoting the lovely ghazal:
Has Ke Bola Karo Bulaya Karo,
Aapka Ghar Hai Aaya Jaya Karo.
Muskurahat Hai Husn Ka Zewar ,
Muskurana Na Bhul Jaya Karo.
Had Se Badhkar Haseen Lagte Ho ,
Jhoothi Kasme Zaroor Khaya Karo
