Interpretations of Namaste

One of my builders in India said “Namaste” to me whilst I was overseeing the building work on some homes, and this was the first time I have experienced anyone say this word to me.

Looking For Love?

When you look for love, you will never find it because love is in you.

It is you who loves eating certain food, it is you who loves certain people, it is you who loves doing certain things, it is you who loves certain values, it is you who loves certain experiences.

Enjoy Diwali (And The Meaning of It)

I have known about and celebrated (on and off) Diwali for many years. “On and off” because it really did not mean much to me until today.

I have always know Diwali to be celebration of light(s) but today I researched what Diwali actually is.
