Thought for TODAY: 5th September 2012

Today I did a guest post at a nice & interesting blog, very aptly titled - Luv, career and a lot. You can read it HERE. Wondering what has that got to with today's thought? Well this taught Me something today.

Sikha, who manages this blog, has just started a blogathon on her blog and I truly admire people who do that. As for Me, it is an unimaginable thing. She invited guest posts and I sent mine, without any second thoughts. What amazed Me was when I learnt how she feels about Me.

I felt most of times we just don't realise what difference do we make in someone's life. And sadly instead of being happy with these compliments we are more irritated with that one criticism we might have faced somewhere. That is wrong I think. I agree it is important to face your criticism and work on it; but that does not mean we ignore the compliments.

So today's lesson is: Learn to accept both brickbats and bouquets with equal elan!

Thanks so much Sikha for such wonderful words - I am touched! Though I would say you are being too kind. :o)

This one's for you- SIKHA - Thanks for inspiring Me to look beyond my imperfections and to love my perfections (however small they are!!)

Book Review: Palestine Wail - Poems by Yahia Lababidi

In Palestine Wail: Poems , Yahia Lababidi creates a profound and unflinching exploration of the ongoing Palestinian crisis, drawing from his own heritage and heartbreak to reflect on a political and humanitarian catastrophe that has unfolded across decades. This collection, imbued with personal history, political outrage, and spiritual contemplation, serves as both a witness to injustice and a call to humanity. The work’s origins lie deeply in Lababidi’s own roots—his Palestinian grandmother, Rabiha Dajani, was forced to flee Jerusalem at gunpoint, a traumatic event that reverberates throughout Lababidi’s poetry. As an Arab-American writer, Lababidi is uniquely positioned to speak on the intersection of identity, politics, and human rights. His poetry, both personal and political, draws a clear line between the suffering of the Palestinian people and the complicity of global powers in perpetuating that suffering.
