Bringing Peace

Today is Akshay's third anniversary and Akshay's mother is in Germany today to train as a peace worker as part of AOL and IAHV's peace building initiative in war zones. She says this is all Akshay's plan to keep his mum happy on this day, so that she has no time to be sad. Post the training she will work in conflict zones and help rehabilitate war victims.

Guidance from an angel!

Up Above, From Somewhere There

As we get closer to Akshay's third anniversary we scan the starry night skies for that bright spark of energy that was a part of our lives for ten years. Perhaps he too gazes through a looking glass at the Earth below from up above, somewhere there. How far does the shine of our city lights reach? How does the Earth look from up above? Quite stunning, especially at night as these pictures show. This is the aerial view from a high rise building of Bahrain

Now let's go a little higher and see how things look through some satellite pictures taken from the Internet. That tiny island there is Bahrain and that of course is India at night.

Throwback to happier times

Someone has said only a pillow knows how much we cry. The flood of memories peaks when we settle down to rest our weary selves.

The Akshay and Archy throw cushion, to hug tight every night, to soak up the tears, to calm and comfort, to fall asleep on, to remind us of happier times
