After very long sabbaticals from the Blogdom I am back again, though not totatlly rejuvenated. While browsing some of my favorite blogs, I came across a beautiful poem by Helen Steiner Rice, so searched for her and found this site http://www.poemsonly.com/ . And this poem by Helen Steiner Rice caught my eyes which aptly describes my current mindset. Thank You Helen for writing such a lovely poem. So wanted to share it with you all out there.
People need people and friends need friends
And we all need love for a full life depends
Not on vast riches or great acclaim,
Not on success or on wordly fame,
But just in knowning that someone cares
And holds us close in their thoughts and prayers-
For only the knowledge that we're understood
Makes everyday living feel woderfully good,
And we rob ourselves of life's greatest need
When we"lock up our hearts" and fail to heed
The oustretched hand reaching to find
A kindered spirit whose heart and mind
Are lonely and longing somehow to share
Our joys and sarrows and to make us aware
That life's completness and richness depends
On the things we share with our loved ones
and friends.

Thanks for reading my blog.
I love Hindi. My Mom used to teach Hindi to inter classes before she gave up her job. I am sure she left a lot of memories with her student as she did with us, her children. I will try reading your Hindi blogs, if I can especially Azadi Vicharon ki. I may not be able to leave a message back in Hindi, but I will in English.
