The Symbol
The Imperial Bank of India was transformed into the State Bank of India in 1955. This was the first Symbol of SBI. I worked in SBI for 32 years from Dec1978 prior to my voluntary retirement in Oct 2010. The Symbol was later changed to look like a key hole. This Symbol reflected the strength of SBI and its large reach.
305_Banyan Tree
Today's word is Banyan Tree.
O you shaggy-headed banyan tree standing on the bank of the pond,
have you forgotten the little child,
like the birds that have nested in your branches and left you?
Do you not remember how he sat at the window
and wondered at the tangle of your roots that plunged underground?
The women would come to fill their jars in the pond,
and your huge black shadow would wriggle
on the water like sleep struggling to wake up.
Sunlight danced on the ripple like
restless tiny shuttles weaving golden tapestry.
Two ducks swam by the woody margin above their shadows,
and the child would sit still and think.
He longed to be the wind and blow through your rustling branches,
to be your shadow and legthen with the day on the water,
to be a bird and perch on your topmost twig,
andto float like those ducks among the weeds and shadows.
- Rabindranath Tagore

A few of my favorites
My favorite cartoons, along with the ole' Peanuts, by Charles M. Schultz, not the insipid stuff they print nowadays. Those had adult philosophy in the lines.
And ofcourse, Calvin and Hobbes.

Today's word is Comics.
The Comic-Con is on at Koramangala Indoor Stadium!

“Comics deal with two fundamental communicating devices: words and images. Admittedly this is an arbitrary separation. But, since in the modern world of communication they are treated as independent disciplines, it seems valid. Actually, the are derivatives of a single origin and in the skillful employment of words and images lies the expressive potential of the medium.”
~ Will Eisner, Comics and Sequential Art
“Words and pictures are yin and yang. Married, they produce a progeny more interesting than either parent.”
~ Dr. Seuss
"The people who grew up reading comics are now in charge of pop culture and they’re not going to suddenly stop reading comics. Get used to it: we’re here to stay."
~ Ed Brubaker

let Peace flower
A song about peace.
Meaning:
The white flowers blooming all over the world
The morning dawns for peace
The golden rays of the sun touching the ground
The flowers waking from their sleep
Let
the baby open it's eyes in the warm affection of the mother
Let the world dawn in the laughter of a child
Stanza 2
The gentle sound of the wind and the songs sung by the rain;
Can they bring the hapiness brought by silence ?
The crores of keerthanas and the words strung together by poets;
Can convey the same meaning as one drop of tear ? (vellai pookal...)
Stanza 3
Where the little child stretches it's hand, there will be eternal hapiness
Where man stops all wars, there the white dove will sing (vellaipookal...)
302_Peace
Today's word is Peace.
Imagine,
all the people
living life in peace.
You may say I'm a dreamer,
but I'm not the only one.
I hope someday you'll join us,
and the world will be as one.
~ John Lennon

A quiet Joy
see my egypt post http://chummadraw.blogspot.in/2012/09/egypt.html
CHITRAKOOT
Sitting here with nature,
And in the silence I hear
the wind move thro' the trees,
smell scents in the breeze,
see the brightness of the flowers
a million bright stars
light up the midnight blue sky
And I feel a sense of wonder,
a quiet joy.
PEACE OF MIND
