Watching things change ...Good Things are coming my way.Going to make the most of it.

Remembering  Michael D Nalley for his wonderful poem on Oppurtunity





Opportunities often knock at our door
Those we have to choose to accept or ignore
It is sometimes a shame we don't unlock
The door even when we hear the knock

Opportunity may be a road full of rocks
Life is a journey filled with hard knocks
One road may be right, the other wrong
One road may be short, the other long


Many times we wish we could turn back the clock
To a time that we heard a good opportunity knock
It has been said time and tide wait for no man
For goodness sake we must come up with a plan


The world is a diverse place of cold reality, and warm romance
Where the merciful Lord often offers more than one chance
The wise will learn from the hard knocks to avoid the dangerous rocks
Time will tell who has fell and got back up when opportunity knocks

Mirror on the pavement

Hello ,

Just averted a major accident along the Manipal-Hebri Road.Uncle was driving at his usual mileage sixties when suddenly a youngster from the opposite track sped through the front in an attempt to overtake the adjacent bus..Neither the left nor the right were possible and the oncoming biker seems to have lost all his control and was heading straight on.Both the biker on the left nor the bus on the right seem to sense.In a split second decision uncle took to his left ,with the alerted rider took to his heels moving further off road,the biker in the front rammed the vehicle at the north-east side ripping the mirror and and screeching brakes by uncle put the car on halt on the left.Our eyes met for a fraction before he passed through the right side window where i was seated.As soon as uncle stopped me and bhaijaan got down.I hurriedly looked on to the road for the most horrific scene and could n t find him anywhere. Shockingly the lucky chap found the mintiest Maeterlinck while he ripped the mirror of the car.He was in shock and shaking.People gathered all around and thanked almighty for the escape.God Bless..With a quick few words of comfort we continued towards Hebri.The fraction of  a second where our eyes met and saw the light will linger for some more time.

No one remembered the broken mirror on the pavement.
