Beauty is everywhere
If we don’t see it

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better
This is GED/HiSET lesson plan Day 14 of 67, and the end of a dreadful past several weeks. Not only do we need good transit systems to transport us, but we need good writing to transport us away from the current situation: fiction, to let us get away just long enough to take a deep breath, and nonfiction to help us build solutions to the problems.
I am working on Draft 6 of my nonfiction offering to communities in our country of one long term proposal, and then hope to get back to my historical fiction stories, for which I appreciate the appreciation many of you sent me when I was writing Ann and Anna. The work is hard, and the hands are few. I hope that more will volunteer to serve, even before Phase II.
I look forward to hearing your…

Hi guys! While I was in Gurgaon, I made these cookies. It was something I never tried before but intended to.
A very soft texture, with a slight flavour of brown butter along with the melted chocolate chunks!
Starting with the recipe,
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup granulated white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 cup flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup chopped milk chocolate
1/4 cup chopped dark chocolate
First, in a pan add the unsalted butter and on low flame let it melt. It will start to bubble up. Browning the butter takes a while and depends on the type of pan and amount of butter.
So, take a wide pan for the process to happen quickly. After a few minutes, it will foam up and become in a pale colour. You need to cook…

We feel an intimate peace when we become aware of our oneness with the universe, and that its energy is right within each of us.

I exist in a place
Between darkness and dawn
My soul roams free in violet shades of a luscious lea
Where amber blooms cruise lavish trails
Dreams are verba volant
Draped on a woven harvest
My lips persimmon etched
My breath a springtime lustre
My eyes ache from unshed tears
Their depths captive
Uncertain
Afraid
Pained
Veni, vidi, vici..
A piquant zephyr flows from my fingers
Like a whispering light
Indulging the
Moonflowers hush in the soft misty air
Life lulls me a monologue of rhetoric
An opalescent fire that becomes my shelter
I become my shelter
My footsteps
The building blocks
Of flowering seedlings.
I don’t know how she does it, but our friend TokyoSand over at Political Charge always manages to find the best of the week’s political cartoons. Not a lot to laugh about these days, folks, but the ‘toons are still awesome and depict our lives with few or no words in a way that lengthy essays cannot do. Be sure to follow the link at the end to see the many more ‘toons she has chosen this week. Thank you, TS, for all your hard work!
The same gun debate rages on and on, yet editorial cartoonists find new angles to cover it. I remain, as always, in awe of their talent.

Plants give us shade
when they grow up,
but when they themselves
are raised in the shade,
they dry up,
as they believe in giving back
not receiving
to make a difference
in our lives
and in their own…

Mr T N Seshan was known as the tough administrator. His most important stint was of the Chief Election Commissioner of India, when he brought radical reforms in elections. He was the man who cleaned up the Indian electoral system and ensured strict compliance of the model code of conduct by all political parties and candidates.
During the course of a Management Seminar, Mr. Seshan, had shared an experience he had while travelling by road with his wife in Uttar Pradesh. On the way, they saw a large mango plantation filled with sparrow nests.
Seshan’s wife wanted to take two nests home for decoration. So the police escort called a small boy who was grazing cows nearby and asked him to bring down two nests and offered to pay him Rs 10. The boy refused, so Seshan raised the offer to Rs 50. The escort also threatened him saying that…
