My Favorite Song – Send me an Angel
The call of my Heart!!! All along the life and its intriguing vicissitudes; every line of this songs rhymes with my self amused sense of losing and hanging on and still losing; so much to lose in one life time…one by one..
Each parting leaving a void; taking that bit of yours away that gave you life; In the land of the ‘Morning Star’ Angels Descend to pirouette gently and blow soothing winds to comfort your soul!!
The eyes are moist and lips go dry; Cracked heels bear the shoulders upright!! Where is the light??
My Someone!!
Lyrics
Wise man said just walk this way
To the dawn of the light
Wind will blow into your face
As the years pass you by
Hear this voice from deep inside
It’s the call of your heart
Close your eyes and you will find
Passage out of the dark
Here I am (Here I am)
Will you send me an angel?
Here I am (Here I am)
In the land of the morning star
Wise man said just find your place
In the eye of the storm
Seek the roses along the way
Just beware of the thorns
Here I am (Here I am)
Will you send me an angel?
Here I am (Here I am)
In the land of the morning star
Wise man said just raise your hand
And reach out for the spell
Find the door to the promised land
Just believe in yourself
Hear this voice from deep inside
It’s the call of your heart
Close your eyes and you will find
The way out of the dark
Here I am (Here I am)
Will you send me an angel?
Here I am (Here I am)
In the land of the morning star (Here I am)
Will you send me an angel?
Here I am (Here I am)
In the land of the morning star (Here I am)
Will you send me an angel?
Here I am (Here I am)
In the land of the morning star (Here I am)
Will you send me an angel?
Here I am (Here I am)
In the land of the morning star

Beautiful lyrics bringing about the longing in every human heart to have a world free of mystery, unhappiness, violence, greed, war, and grief: utopian though but not impossible ..

Notes n Beats : Schicksals-Sinfonie (symphony of destiny) : " Fate" – Beethoven
Schicksals-Sinfonie (symphony of destiny)
Daisaku Ikeda is a Buddhist philosopher, educator, author, nuclear disarmament advocate and the founding president of the Soka Gakkai International (SGI), the world’s largest Buddhist lay organization with approximately 12 million practitioners in 192 countries and territories.
Ikeda’s sense of the great power of culture and the arts to uplift and assuage people would later become an underlying current in his philosophy of and activism for peace. It was during the turbulent period of his youth that this sensibility was forged.
Ikeda suffered throughout his youth from tuberculosis, a deadly disease at the time. He writes fondly of his memories of listening, exhausted from work and illness, to Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, known as the “Destiny” or “Fate” symphony. “As I sat in the middle of my tiny apartment, with the stirring resonance of that great work filling the room, I felt my blood race and dance with joy . . . a powerful courage resurged in my heart.”
This Symphony is another Beethoven’s favorite of mine after “Ode to Joy”.
My Favorite Books : The Count of Monte Christo
The Count of Monte Christo
The Count of Monte Cristo is a novel by Alexandre Dumas about love, betrayal, jealousy and revenge.
The Count of Monte Cristo offers an unusual reflection on happiness and justice and compensating the past.
Everyone in the story of The Count of Monte Cristo seems to be jealous of Dantes. Fernand Mondego for his love,Baron Danglars for job, Gaspard for his fortune and Gerard for a reason. The four of them plot to rid themselves of Dantes, each benefiting in their own way with Dantes out of the picture.
The four men conspire and Dantes is taken away in secret and imprisoned at Chateau d’If, an inescapable prison.
While in prison, Dantès meets Abbé Faria, who teaches Dantès history, science, philosophy, and languages and also bequeaths to him large treasure hidden on the island of Monte Cristo. Dante manages to escape from the prison and travels to Monte Cristo and finds Faria’s enormous treasure.
Ten years later, Dantès emerges in Rome, calling himself the Count of Monte Crist. None of his old cohorts recognize the mysterious count. Armed with damning knowledge about each of them that he has gathered over the past decade, Dantès sets an elaborate scheme of revenge into motion.
A great story and one of my favorites and must read for all those who love good literature!!
Josei Toda stated with reference to this inspiring work of literature by Dumas and offered a Buddhist perspective:
“Those who perpetrate evil or injustice will without fail receive retribution for their actions in accord with the workings of the law of cause and effect.
That said, it is still imperative that we expose evil, and that we use our anger at injustice toward thoroughly denouncing it and rooting it out. If we permit evil to run rampant, even more people will suffer at its hands. A halfhearted struggle against evil only gives it greater leeway to grow and flourish.
“Anger can be a function of either good or evil” .Anger that springs from good and justice, and is directed at fighting evil and injustice, can produce great good. To oppose extreme evil is an act of extreme good. The greatest “revenge” against evil is for the champions of good to be victorious and for good itself to flourish.”
