Hi Guys,

I would like to share with you this inspiring mail….

Never Abandon Your Loved Ones . . .

In order to renovate the house, someone in Japan tear open the wall.

Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between the wooden walls. When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard stuck there because a nail from outside hammered into one of its feet. He sees this, feels pity and at the same time curious, as when he checked the nail, it was nailed 10 years ago when the house was first built.

What happened..?

The lizard has survived in such position for 10 years!?!! In a dark wall partition for 10 years without moving, it is impossible and mind boggling.

Then he wondered, how this lizard survived for 10 years without moving a single step - since its feet was nailed!

So he stopped his work and observed the lizard, what has it been doing and what has it been eating? Later, don't know from where appears another lizard, with food in its mouth... AHHH! He was stunned and touched deeply.

For the lizard that was stuck by nail, another lizard has been feeding it for the past 10 years..

Such a love, such a beautiful love!! Such love happened even on this tiny creature... What can love do? It can do wonders!! Love can do miracles!!

Imagine it has been doing it for a tired some 10 yrs, without giving up hope on its partner.

Imagine what a small creature can do that a creature blessed with the brilliant mind can't.

As the technology advances, our access to information become faster and faster. But the distance between human beings, was it getting closer as well?

NEVER ABANDON YOUR LOVED ONES. Share this story with everyone that has touched your life and make you grow and understand and feel more about your life. Share it with everyone! May everyone be loved... a quote from Cae Hiew: "Love makes your heart young again and magically erase all your
wrinkles." So, start loving . . .

M.F.Husain's "Rape of India" Painting

Hassan Suroor reports in The Hindu 11 Dec 08. http://www.hindu.com/2008/12/11/stories/2008121150380100.htm
M.F.Husain's painting on the Mumbai Blasts on Show in London Art Gallery.
I saw the Photo in Hindu.
Green used much. Drops of blood also in Green.
The "Bharat Mata" is raped. She is torn as a Victim and laying Down dishevelled, spreadeagle.
Only her Bindi depicted in Red.
I ask M.F.Husain, with all Respect to his Mastery, Sir for Blood you should have choosen RED color. Not Green.
Why you Choose Green? to show the Islamic Green?
OK. The Barat Mata is Raped. I dont think a few Bomb Blasts here and There cant make her feel like Raped.
You could have called it "Rape of Mumbai"
In choosing the Color Green, you derated the Emotion of the Incident
You dehumanised the Adrenaline of the Attack.
May be you are not that Angry, after all.
May be you are unable to hide your Glee. Forgive me if I am wrong here.
The Islamic Green all over the Pictures makes the Painting less emotional, less pinching.
The Continuous line extending beyond the Borders of the Painting shows the never ending Terrorists Mayhem all across India.
Good. Thats a Valid Point. But again the Line is Green. The drops of Blood Green.
The 2 Horse Faces - again Green Faces - depicts the Moslem Attackers
the Horses came to India mostly from Arabia
You love Horses more - that shows your love for Arabia - where you stay.
OK. Those Rough - Beasts with their Green Faces also indicate the Jealousy they have over India's Growth Story.
The "Payal" of "Bharat Mata" still Intact.
It shows, She is not yet vanquished. She will again Raise, Again Dance, Again Conquer the World with her Mystic Dance, Majesty and Poise.
The Gunshots are shown only one. You are not bothered much about the Modus Operandi.
You are just interested in the "Rape"
and that too "Rape of Bharat Mata" you would like to Enjoy, tongue in cheek, may be.
I am not sure.
If you are Truly Concerned, Please DONATE all the proceedings of this Painting to the Breaved People of Mumbai in this Mayhem.
or DONATE that to the NSG commandos who died saving Mother India.
In my STRONG OPINION, I differ from M.F.Husain's negative portrayal of the Incident.
Bharat Mata is not Raped
India cannot be Raped by Few Bomb Blasts
India cannot be raped by Few Terror acts
India is TOO BIG for that.
Jai Hind!
