On this occassion of Gautum Buddha Jayanti, I would like to remind myself and the visitors of my blog with following quote by Gautum Buddha.

Your work is to discover your world and then with all your heart give yourself to it.

-Gautum Buddha

I hope I will be able to understand it and understanding it truely means, I should be able to implement it. I hope I will be able to do so. Likewise, I wish you will be able to understand it and implement it as well.

I am a big fan of sentimental songs, particularly those sung by Karna Das. I just love the way he sings. His singing style is really unique and heart touching. Many of his songs are so dear to me that I listen to them several times each week or sometimes everyday. Yet, I can’t get enough.

I have listed some of the best songs by him. I hope you will also like them.

1. Sunsan raat shital pawan

सुनसान रात सितल पवन, साथी तिम्रो याद बिदेशी भुमी
बिती रहेछ जिवन यहाँ, माया तिम्रो हो पत्र चुमी
सुनसान रात ….
कहिले हाँस्छु कहिले रुन्छु, माया म है पागल सरी
तिम्रो तस्विर हेरी रहन्छु, तिम्रो पत्र है पढछु घरी
तिम्रो पत्र है पढछु घरी घरी ।
सुनसान रात ….
ला ला ला ला ला ला ला
हाम्रो मिलन को मधुर क्षण आउदै छ नजिक सुस्तरी
कसम छ है तिमी लाई नभयी निराश, माया बस है बाटो हेरी
माया बस है बाटो हेरी ।
सुनसान रात सितल पवन, साथी तिम्रो याद बिदेशी भुमी
बिती रहेछ जिवन यहाँ, माया तिम्रो हो पत्र चुमी
सुनसान रात ….

If you have lyrics of these songs or any other songs by Karna Das,

then please send me or put them as comments.

I will apprecitate that a lot.

Will you save someone risking your own life ?

You may answer yes, but will you really do it in some situation like that ?

Just take a look at what this dog did…

The question here is not just saving life, its more than that. It is about doing the right thing. We always have a choice to make the right decision. But quiet often we choose the wrong decision because that wrong decision seems to be beneficial for us. We happen to choose the wrong decision because our selfish needs are fulfilled with that wrong decision.

Just take a look at the dog’s eyes. They are so innocent. He saved the life of those kittens without thinking he is risking his own life. What might have been going through the mind of his as he stayed besides the kittens despite the fire ? He definitely must have had an option to run away or jump around making noises in anticipation of rescue. But he thought staying by the kittens and making sure they they don’t feel alone and don’t get scared is more important than saving his own life. And by the time fire fighters arrived he was unconscious due to excessive smoke inhalation. But he was alive and the reunion with the kittens must have been the reward for him. This is an example of condition-less affection and an act of making right decision.

This dog did something that a human would never do. Thus, shouldn’t human learn something from dogs ?
