Dear Facebook Family. Proud to share that I am a part of the international anthology recently published.
I believe feminism is slowly but surely gaining a reasonable status to prove that gender equality is not about women versus men. Gender equality is for everyone, and it is a key to a happier society for all of us.

Dear Facebook Family. Proud to share that I am a part of the international anthology recently published.
I believe feminism is slowly but surely gaining a reasonable status to prove that gender equality is not about women versus men. Gender equality is for everyone, and it is a key to a happier society for all of us.
Comment: Many Blessings.

Dear Facebook Family. Proud to share that I am a part of the international anthology recently published.
I believe feminism is slowly but surely gaining a reasonable status to prove that gender equality is not about women versus men. Gender equality is for everyone, and it is a key to a happier society for all of us.
Comment: Congratulations... amazing achievement!

Comment: Dear Geeta,
This is Shali Chandna. Heartiest congratulations on Ved Bhai Saab’s 90th birthday. I hope you are both doing well.
When I got your beautiful magazine letter – I suddenly realized that perhaps you do not know that our dearest friend JK left us all on 20th Dec 2022 soon after his 90th birthday leaving behind so many beautiful memories in all our hearts. As you may know he valiantly faced Parkinson’s Disease for many years.
He & I used to enjoy your amazing magazine pages & it would bring us happy memories of both of you. Geeta you are so talented & have been doing such an excellent job with your writings. Please do continue to send me your newsletter but please send it to shali@chandna.com.
We both lived happily together at Bangalore for almost 20 years. In case you come there please remember that you have a home at our place.
Presently I am visiting my children in SF but will go home next month.
Best regards & love,
Shali Chandna

Dear Madam!
Greetings & Good evening!
Firstly, let me introduce myself. I have joined recently as Sr Manager with Inter Ocean after working as Dy General Manager in Cochin Shipyard Ltd for 10 years.
When I was going through my official mails in the late evening at my office after a hectic day onboard the vessel, I found a mail from you amidst my official mails.
It is indeed a surprise to me.
I had gone through the proses & poems presented by you.
They took me to a different world and that too my own world.
After started sailing in Merchant Navy as a Chief Engineer, I had almost lost my connection with the novel readings & poem writings.
Suddenly today I feel like flying that someone is there at Dubai who has re-ignited my quest for writings & readings too.
I really enjoyed reading them all & it has now refreshed me.
Let me share the comments…
From the prose side:
Coming from My Heart - It is perfectly explained for the Karma & Phala quoted in Bhagvad Gita. Do your prescribed duty without the desire of fruit or the fear of failure.
Hit or Miss Signs - It is funny while reading but it gives different thoughts when we re-read the same.
How to destroy a bad temper It is really a motivated topic. The topic should be taught to everyone to lead a cool & peaceful life.
Moments of Truth It emphasize the need of spirituality & self-realization for the present speedy life. Guru is to guide us to attain the eternal peace ‘Aanandham’.
From the poems side:
The Coming of Dawns - The reply to the darkness ‘Do I have to be’ shows the level of confidence what we should have towards outside world.
The Rethinking Act ‘To-morrow never stops’ has really made me to think.
Hopelessness ‘Doing Nothing; is new thought towards the nature.
A Big Thanks to Madam for making me to re-connect with the disconnected world of my own!
Waiting for the upcoming editions!

Dear Facebook Family. Proud to share that I am a part of the international anthology recently published.
I believe feminism is slowly but surely gaining a reasonable status to prove that gender equality is not about women versus men. Gender equality is for everyone, and it is a key to a happier society for all of us.

Dear Facebook Family. Proud to share that I am a part of the international anthology recently published.
I believe feminism is slowly but surely gaining a reasonable status to prove that gender equality is not about women versus men. Gender equality is for everyone, and it is a key to a happier society for all of us.

Dear Geetaji,
I wanted to express my gratitude for sharing your blog post with me. I've just finished reading it and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed by your writing. Your insights were both thoughtful and engaging.
I believe your post would be of great interest to Swami Brahmaviharidas ji, and I plan to share it with him. I'm certain he will appreciate the time and effort you put into crafting this piece.
Once again, thank you for sharing your work with me.

Jai Guru & many thanks dear Geeta ji for the lovely photographs. There is one of me having a hearty laugh. It sums up how much I had enjoyed your hospitality. I remember Ved ji & you often. Only yesterday I was telling our princess how she has inherited so many qualities from both of you, how she should be grateful and how she must continue to build upon these sound foundations. In fairness she works hard on this. Like you, once she gets something into her head, she works very hard to accomplish it. And mostly she does. Like her father, sky is the limit for her. God bless her….
With warmest regards to both of you,

Have gone through the contents. A master piece from my angle. U R truly blessed. Glimpses into the past were rather emotional for me how a little girl had blossomed who sang her first songs which I recoded into a tape recorder which Philips had gifted to me in winter of 1955, on the beach of a small swimming pool of Narain Niwas in Amritsar.

We can't do much against many evils taking place around us... but being a spectator of that is also crime against the humanity....
MERE vaaste tere naam par
koyee harph aaye Nhi Nhi
mujhe khouph e duniya nahi
magar mere roobaroo teri jaat HAI
So, humanity needs and means to sacrifice for the humanity....

It has nothing to do with God. God has lit a flickering light for us to relentlessly nourish it so that it can lead us from darkness to light, from exploitation to empowerment, hard work to perseverance and from there to success, the most sought after 'thing' in this whole universe! So I believe.

It is only and only a woman who knows the secret formula of the mysterious ingredients to form a life inside her and grow it with limitless affection and endless care. It is an accomplishment of the highest order, higher than the materialistic and spiritualistic accomplishments men often boasts of. This care and the affection is actually the essence of womanhood; Affectionately

In this pulsating world, God is but a verb, so said, Acharya Rajneesh. Nothing is static, everything knows what to do including those things which we think we do not and did not know... but deep inside, they are lying embedded and when we are able to 'tune' into, we realize that we have been searching for answers outside when they were there and then further exploration reveals that we 'are the answers...Tat tum asi!’

This is a nice reading poem of which tolerance, acceptance and better understanding of thoughts definitely stand out.

Rape and gender violence is not a women’s issue. It is a human rights violation. Men and women need to stand in solidarity to end gender violence.
Dear FB Family,
I most humbly share:
My daughter, Vibha Bakshi's latest gender rights film SON RISE is rapidly becoming the much-needed-movement to make men equal partners in the struggle to end gender violence.
Step by step, shoulder to shoulder - Haryana & Delhi Police begin screenings of SON RISE to flag off United Nations #16daysofactivism to end gender violence by gender sensitizing the Police Force.
Unless the Police is sensitized, justice will not only be delayed, it will be denied.
SON RISE is this year's National Award winning film - BEST FILM (non feature); Best Editing (non feature) awarded by the President of India.

Great. But just as more and more appalling violence is being perpetrated against Indian women. I was sickened by the news last week about the young vet. And truly appalling things are still said by Indian politicians.

Yes indeed. Due to the human greed & senseless expansion of cities the poor trees and forests are being cut down. We are impinging upon the habitat of wild animals, birds, reptiles etc. May some sense come upon the politicians who are not bothered about tomorrow.

Comment received from Facebook Friends for: Geeta Chhabra’s Facebook Post – Why I am trying to Relinquish.
There were many experiments done by scientists by keeping dying persons on a sensitive scale and they concluded that the soul has weight. Actually, the soul is weightless. Our attachments to our kith and kin and other worldly assets, gives weight to the soul and hence the soul cannot escape the gravitational pull. Hence before dying all our attachments to close family relatives and other things have to be given up. Your efforts are hence very commendable.

Rape and gender violence is not a women’s issue. It is a human rights violation. Men and women need to stand in solidarity to end gender violence.
Dear FB Family,
I most humbly share:
My daughter, Vibha Bakshi's latest gender rights film SON RISE is rapidly becoming the much-needed-movement to make men equal partners in the struggle to end gender violence.
Step by step, shoulder to shoulder - Haryana & Delhi Police begin screenings of SON RISE to flag off United Nations #16daysofactivism to end gender violence by gender sensitizing the Police Force.
Unless the Police is sensitized, justice will not only be delayed, it will be denied.
SON RISE is this year's National Award winning film - BEST FILM (non feature); Best Editing (non feature) awarded by the President of India.

Heart touching lines, straight from the heart, transcend time and space, underlining the singularity, eastern spiritual thought dwells on the phenomenon, with its seers saints, down the ages, Radha Krishna, Shiv Parvati, touches upon seeming dually, of day & night, summers and winters, sun & moon, eventually transcends duality to propound non duality of existence or advait...the eternal singularity of timelessness!!!! the one and only Supreme Entity if we may take the liberty to address the magnamous whole of which we are merely but parts of, like fleeting drops in the vast expansive ocean, galaxies and beyond...

Comments received for Poems & Different Dialogues in www.geetachhabra.com – July 2020 Issue.
Dear Geeta Bua
Thank you for including my comments in your July issue...very flattering and humbling at the same time! They were just comments penned on the spur of the moment in response to one of your insight into the Bhagavad Gita. I do believe success, progress, ethics and social contacts are not mutually exclusive concepts. The more we blend them, the better the world we leave behind for the next generation.
Loved your poem: Lines for Lockdown. The lines - There is no haste... in my mind of any sort... struck a chord. This was the mindless rat race I was referring to in my comment you selected!
Lockdown has caused me to self-reflect a lot and, I am slowly becoming attracted to the concept of legacy. What will be our legacy - what will people remember us for? Our children are an obvious element of our legacy... but we all crave a deeper and more personalized legacy.
In your Dialogue section, Mr Seetharam speaks of academia and influencing the future generation. I have drawn much inspiration from this. This is what I plan to do once I retire.... this could be five years from now..... Do a PhD in Happiness, maybe from Melbourne University or even Harvard or Cambridge, write a book on my thesis topic and then lecture on those topics. I have experience in all these areas... academia, lecturing and publishing my work (In a very small way - when I taught at Monash University in Melbourne, I published twelve case studies in a book Principles of Marketing which became a recommended text for first year students.) "Marketing Happiness"... what an exciting concept to explore.
Take care. Talk soon.

Do pardon the delayed response! Today is Meena's 80th birthday, and for the first time in over 3 months we went to Delhi and met up.
It was a lovely virtual celebration with the family all over the globe!
Very well organised by her daughter Sangita and grand daughters.
I just browsed your email and am most impressed by how talented you are – in various disciplines – poetry, art, religion, prose, commentary, philanthropy and what have you.
You are indeed a remarkable person, and I consider myself very fortunate and lucky to know you, and that you are gracious to recognise me!!
I wish your endeavour the very best and may you achieve greater glory.

There is the opportunity and the need to teach the younger generation the concepts of ethics and social contract. No harm in reaching for the stars but do it ethically and once you get there, give back to society. Our ancestors did it so well. It's not complex or hard, just a priority that got taken over by a mad rat race where people want to get ahead without pausing to think why they want to get ahead and at what cost. The meaning of progress needs to be re-defined. The pandemic has raised alarm bells in this regard. Less is more, we is bigger than I, peace of mind is more sustaining than physical comforts. Let us pray for new normal. जहां दुख भी ना हो, आंसू भी ना हो। बस प्यार ही प्यार पाले.

Dear Mrs. Geeta Chhabra,
Thank you so much for your excellent interview with Mr KN Bakshi.
I am really touched!
He is such a wonderful person I have ever met!
Me and Charlotte have many sweet memories of him since 1981 but I lost contact after he left Norway!
In your article you mentioned about PN Haskar whom I also met in 1972-73 who introduced me with Mrs. Indira Gandhi!
I became nostalgic while reading your heartwarming article!
I am the subject of a book written by Swedish Author Andersson, title "The Amazing story of a man who cycled from India to Europe for Love".
My wife Charlotte joins me in conveying our warmest wishes for a great success of your creative writing.

Dear Geeta Ji,
I have enjoyed going through the April issue of your blog. I must say that this is one of the best-if not the best- of your blogs that I have had the pleasure of reading.
Different Dialogues with Mithu Alur is outstanding, both because of her persona, her contribution and its impact, as also the way you have drawn her out on various aspects. The poems on Lockdown vividly bring out the depth of our emotional reactions to the Pandemic. The prose pieces are evocative of deeply embedded memories. Photos and Book Review add a different dimension. And Lockdown Diaries by Aseem Chhabra takes the cake. Bravo!
Warm regards and best wishes for your continued progress in meditation!

Greetings!
Thank you so much for sharing it. It's my pleasure to receive this from you.
Amazing blog. Each and every line carries a deep meaning written so thoughtfully. You are such an inspiration to all of us.
Your blog reflects lot of positivity and shows us the path how one can find solitude in negative circumstances. I am feeling so honoured that I am associated with you and have got an opportunity to meet you and spend couple of hours with you.
I am falling short of words and not sure how to express my gratitude only I can say is I LOVE YOU.

Comment received for the poem Deadly Despair – May 2020 Issue.
Geeta, my BFF from those Trident talks..!
No bier, no cortege, pyreless pile, no afterlife...
It's natural to feel despair during such lonely times. Imagine what those dying of this disease on Hospital beds may be feeling… their love, dreams, belongings, coming to a lonely end as they lay dying, all alone and without a human touch...! Such a death appeared heretofore nowhere else except in the curse of an angry, lost soul...!
So what's one to do? Realize the reality of life… are we not truly "alone"? We cling to others, to emotions, to belongings, and such… but don't they always fall short of fulfilling us? The wealthiest have died unfulfilled, the celebrities with beauty and popularity died unfulfilled, those with large or small families have died unfulfilled.... Need to ponder… not answer quickly, but ponder….
That all the physical and emotional longings we carry our life with are not fulfilling is apparent from the fact that our desire for more of those never stops! Perhaps it's so because our approach to filling the "void" within is wrong?
Can this longing end? Perhaps, our true nature of life is in "aloneness"...! Not dependent on anything else but the Self...! Have we searched for this Self? What is this life force within me? Not intellectually, but experientially. "The question is not whether there is life after death… but have you really lived before dying? Osho". Find yourself to really Live this beautiful life, he would say...!

Dear Geeta Bua,
Loved your poems composed this month during your lockdown in Mumbai.
Prayer and meditation are indeed good mechanisms to deal with the cabin fever most of us have started experiencing. They often lead to self reflection – something that we all should be doing right now. Currently the world is in the grip fear; when things get back to normal, will we revert back to greed and competition like before? Hoping normal in the future will be a different normal!
Adversity they say shapes character. Some argue that equally adversity reveals true character. It is heart rendering to read of the various acts of care and compassion that family members, friends and citizens have displayed all over the world. Our faith in humanity is restored! Really proud to read of the food packets Viresh and his team have distributed to migrant workers and residents of Tala village. This is what our new normal should look like.
I would like to share with you the thoughts of one of our senior citizens in Australia - Eddie Jaku (a 99 year old Jewish migrant who lived through and lost his entire family at the Auschwitz concentration camp):
Do not walk behind me, for I may not be able to lead you
Do no walk in front of me, for I may be too distressed to follow you
Walk beside me, hold my hand and together we shall cross the bridge.
Looking forward to a new dawn, post Covid19.

We can see life and are living it every moment in our own way but death is mystic and so quizzical. Many have written about life after life but no one can describe death. It happens and had to happen. Your thoughts on eternity are, however, justified. Life is beautiful and let's make it worthy.

Dear FB Family,
I most humbly share:
My daughter, Vibha Bakshi's latest gender rights film SON RISE is rapidly becoming the much-needed-movement to make men equal partners in the struggle to end gender violence.
Step by step, shoulder to shoulder - Haryana & Delhi Police begin screenings of SON RISE to flag off United Nations #16daysofactivism to end gender violence by gender sensitizing the Police Force.
Unless the Police is sensitized, justice will not only be delayed, it will be denied.
SON RISE is this year's National Award winning film - BEST FILM (non feature); Best Editing (non feature) awarded by the President of India.

Dear Geeta Di,

Hopefully you all are taking adequate care and are safe and healthy... we are going thru a global crisis of unprecedented magnitude... there has to be a basic shift in universal thinking and consciousness... this crisis has brought us on our knees in more ways than one... I strongly feel the greed has to go... we have to live in the moment and pray for each other's wellbeing... hope people now understand that we all are connected....
Take care Geeta Di... my respect to everyone at home... special love to Vibha.
Jai Guru
Lovingly yours

Lockdown Diaries: Longing for company by Aseem Chhabra
How will we face the world again, sit fearlessly in large movie theatres and restaurants, and walk amid crowds?
On February 20, I had a back surgery in Delhi. Five days later, I was released from the hospital, but given my condition I was not to step out. Since the time I left the hospital I have only gone out four times, to see the doctor and once my cousin drove me to an ATM. When the Covid-19 related lockdown was enforced I had already been home in self-isolation mode for a month.
I have been a freelancer since 2009, when I lived in New York City. I would work from home, but I always had the option to go out whenever I wished to. There was a Starbucks downstairs in my building and I would often sit there for a few hours, especially in the summers because of the air-conditioning. It helped to talk to strangers, or just hear the chatter of others sitting around me.
I have not had a concept of a weekend or vacation for more than a decade. I could take time off and not work. Otherwise I could work all day, sometimes late at night, as long as I would meet my deadlines. Living mostly in Noida since 2016, I was used to working at odd hours, then taking a cab to Delhi to have drinks in Khan Market, go eat chaat, sit in a quiet café, or walk in the midst of the crowds in Connaught Place. My work lifestyle gave me the option to be alone when I wanted to or find myself lost in a mall at 4 pm.
The new real – the lockdown situation, perhaps important to control the spread of the virus, has been difficult. I find it stifling and suffocating to be home bound. I know it is also tough for people who would go to office in the morning and come back in the evening. They would rest over the weekends. I, on the other hand, had a lot more flexibility in my life. That flexibility is gone with the lockdown and it is wearing me down.
At the same time I know I am privileged. I have a roof over my head, food on the table and I am safe at home. There are thousands less fortunate – the daily wage earners who trudged all the way back home to their villages. For them it was a question of survival. I take my survival for granted when I complain about being locked up.
My day starts with breakfast, followed by physiotherapy, which I do on my own, since the physiotherapist has not been coming over for the past couple of weeks. Shower, lunch, perhaps a brief nap, then more physiotherapy, followed by dinner. And finally I watch a film. Films keep me sane.
It has become a predictable routine. I feel like the Bill Murray character, stuck in a Groundhog Day state of mind.
I try and read a little. This year I have promised myself to read Vikram Seth's A Suitable Boy for the second time. But it was easier for me to read the 1400-page long magnum opus riding in the crowded subways in New York City. It is a little hard for some reason now that I am stuck at home.
I don't mind spending time with myself. I am essentially a loner. In fact, most writers tend to be. Your work involves the connection you make with your laptop. When you write words, sentences, paragraphs, pages, and eventually finish an article or even a book – it is your loneliness that sees you through the process. But sometimes even loners long for company and no matter how much I engage in social media, it is not the same as sitting face-to-face with a friend, with a glass of wine in my hand.
I live at home with my 91-year-old mother who is unwell and hard of hearing. It took me a few days to explain to her the havoc that Covid-19 has created. We have a live-in maid who cooks for us and takes care of my mother. I talk the most with her, but there is a limitation to how much we can converse.
To amuse my followers and myself on Instagram, I started a hashtag #WhereIWantToEatAfterTheVirusIsGone. I have posted old photographs – street foods of Varanasi and Patna, cafes and restaurants I love, especially Illiterati Books & Coffee in Dharamsala and Lahore Tikka House in Toronto, for the best kababs and biryani. Like the films I watch, these images keep me sane and hopeful of better times.
But what I fear the most is this – will I be able to trust people, when the lockdown is lifted, the virus is gone and if some of us have survived? Will I be able to feel comfortable enough to touch a stranger, shake hands, hug someone – a friend or relative, somebody even closer? Right now, I feel frustrated to be home. But the virus, the lockdown and self-isolation have also convinced me that I am safest when I am alone.
How will I face the world once again, sit in large movie theatres and restaurants? Will I be able to go back to New York City, walk in Time Square and be jostled around by tourists?
I am unsure about that. Corona virus has really changed how I perceive my existence and I don't know if I can flip the switch on again and start to think differently. It will take a long time for me to accept the next new normal.

Feel truly privileged to have witnessed tens of thousands of Police Officers give a standing ovation to SON RISE and pledge to make women and children safety a priority. To see Haryana Police embrace SON RISE is a huge triumph given the film has been shot in Haryana, dealing with some of the most sensitive issues. I am from Haryana and the proud father of two amazing daughters. This is my biggest reward. Thank you @VibhaBakshi for making this a reality. SON RISE has been a continuous learning journey.

Comment received from Facebook Friends for: Geeta Chhabra's Facebook Post – The View Is So Misty.
Vedas state that what propels life is "Sat" or the "essence" and when Sat is vanished, that which propels life too vanishes from the physical body and we call it a "dead body". However, the wisdom enshrined in the Vedas does not call death, death! "Jiva" or life, they say only "manifests" and "un-manifests." There is a reason behind this. "Jiva" is the "life force ENERGY" (there is no word for Jiva in English. It is not exactly life; but it is what" propels" life) and energy cannot die nor can energy be destroyed or created.
Rishis (sages) segregated energy into two; "Cosmic" as well as "Conscious" energy. What pervades in the cosmos is cosmic energy where as what pervades inside that propels life is conscious energy – it "knows" what it is doing unlike cosmic energy. What Einstein spoke about it, it was said to be cosmic energy. Nevertheless, Energy remains! Therefore, what pervades inside us does not die! What happens therefore is the decay of the physical body which goes for recycling into the nature and conscious energy enters into a womb to propel another body! Logically, it is difficult to discard this argument. So, I for one, does not disbelieve it. I am not getting into "karma" angle which again is a vast spiritual subject as much as Jiva. May be some other time we would converse. Thank you Geeta for specifically asking me to comment and reply on the essence of what is written by you on your post. I appreciate it.
Affectionately,

Rape and gender violence is not a women’s issue. It is a human rights violation. Men and women need to stand in solidarity to end gender violence.
Dear FB Family,
I most humbly share:
My daughter, Vibha Bakshi's latest gender rights film SON RISE is rapidly becoming the much-needed-movement to make men equal partners in the struggle to end gender violence.
Step by step, shoulder to shoulder - Haryana & Delhi Police begin screenings of SON RISE to flag off United Nations #16daysofactivism to end gender violence by gender sensitizing the Police Force.
Unless the Police is sensitized, justice will not only be delayed, it will be denied.
SON RISE is this year's National Award winning film - BEST FILM (non feature); Best Editing (non feature) awarded by the President of India.

Comment received from Facebook Friends for: Geeta Chhabra’s Facebook Post – Looking for Answers
Looking for answers is the relentless quest of life that will continue like a river that never stops flowing. It is this quest of man that gives him answers of how to become a human from man. These answers may not be complete in its entirety. But every time he gets an answer, he inches a little more ahead in his pursuit of knowing and being a human he is aspiring to be, either knowingly or unknowingly.
This is the reason, Arjuna is often addressed, "Parth" by Lord Krishna in Bhagavad-Gita. Parth is one who is in search--Pa--of answers --"Arth."

Comments received from Facebook Friends for: GeetaChhabra’s Facebook Posts – The crumbling bastion is a reminder…
All things in this transitory world are temporary...nothing is there to last permanently...and we are also a part of this impermanent world; we are a part of this impermanence.
Plants sprout and die...animals are born and they die. Man-made structures stand bright and strong and crumble to ruins; mountains, rivers, jungles, animals...all go through this cycle of birth and death….
Yet, I think not of this and remain attached to material and people...we all have to bid adieu in turns. So keep an attachment which provides comfort...but don't rely for your happiness on these temporary things as when they go they will take your happiness along. Let your happiness come from within your soul which stays with you for your lifetime.
Geeta Chhabra this post has touched the spirituality part of my being...thanks, wise soul.
Stay blessed

We can see life and are living it every moment in our own way, but, death is mystic and so quizzical. Many have written about life after life, but, no one can describe death. It happens and had to happen. Your thoughts on eternity are, however, justified. Life is beautiful and let's make it worthy.

Many congratulations Geeta on the occasion of this milestone.
We first met before you started your blog. You showed me some of your English poems and I translated them to Arabic and published them in various Arabic newspapers and magazines such as the prestigious Dubai Thaqafiyyah, Al-Ittihad, etc. In fact you were published in Arabic translation even before you were published in English. Later I translated your 40 Indian Odes dedicated to the United Arab Emirates and they were published in a coffee-table bilingual book expressing love and respect for the UAE and Arabic culture and Islamic values. The book appeared in February 2012 on the same day when the first Poetic Heart festival was inaugurated. In fact both of us were participating in this fantastic poetry and music festival promoting world peace, harmony and environmental protection as well as other humanistic values such as hailing motherhood and friendship. Both of us have participated more than once in this annual festival which has now completed five years and both of us have supported the success of this peace festival. You have since published several poetry and prose books. All the best with the one I believe is forthcoming soon.

In the oceanic whiff of thoughts emanating from seven billion people of our word, every individual nourishes his dreams, hopes and aspirations. It is amazing to see how dots form to make words, wards to sentences and sentences to stories….some good, some bad, some tantalizing, some endearing and some lingering as we fall in love with them. The origin of blog happened in 1999 from ‘weblog’ and it simply means “to share information” and ‘indulge in discussion.’ Good to see that you are a veteran. Best of luck….

Comment received for Prose: The Miracle
Hi Geeta Mam,
Below sentences taken from your Prose collections “The Miracle” make me move towards the positive energy and it connects me more with my Lord Jesus.
It is a beautiful experience to remain “connected” with the Almighty: constantly and continuously. Through our journeys, the “connectivity” with the Almighty – charges our entire system of thinking, acting, progressing. The “connection” with the Almighty is the biggest wealth of positive energy for every human being.
The Miracle is all I need.
Thank you for sharing such a lovely Thought.

Dear Geeta Bua,
Read with interest your June newsletter. Couldn't help but admiring the prolific and fertile range of topics covered - from Lord Krishna's message to mosaic calligraphy to learning from moments. Always great reading – insightful, inspiring and diverse! Keep up the good work! The pen is indeed a great gift, you use it well. Bravo!
Blessed are those who can extract wisdom from the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita and apply it to their daily lives. I love the way you describe how to use these teachings to "empower" yourself and those around you. I have certainly been a recipient of your good counsel on a number of occasions. For this I am deeply indebted to you….
Warm wishes to you and Uncle.
Yours affectionately,

People who make excellent progress invariably have God, teachers / Mentors. It's good of youth respect the departed soul. You are lucky you were able to find a Mentor. With such humility in life, you will become a Mentor yourself if not already. Best wishes for a reward for the good work you are doing for the Society at large particularly in the Emirates.

Of course, I knew all along that you were a poet, singer and art lover, but to see this entire manifest so beautifully in ether made it so much more effective. I deeply appreciate your style of expressing your thoughts in verse that are said so simply, honestly and yet are so profound.

I consider it a privilege to pen my thoughts on Geetaji’s poetry collection. Verses, which hold in their fold our common civilizational love for the poetic expression. To know Geetaji is to feel the Sufi sensibilities that reside in her. Happy reading!

Millions and millions have been slaughtered in the name of God – how sad and shameful this is. If people could only understand and heed the words you have written in your lovely piece "Fact" man would no longer kill in the name of God; because there is only One Almighty and he is watching all of us. Both of your works "Fact" and "A Bountiful Blessing" are soothing balm for all to share and understand we are all one under the One Almighty. Bless you dear poetess.

Exactly for me God is love, nature, life in everything that is moving or static... life is set against... so why fight... just see his light in everything... to set things right... for He is life that we see in us... in every being... in every hope… in every beam of light... so let's knock of this fight... in His name... touch Him... if we really believe in Him... in His faith feel Him... for its your very own faith... which makes you feel Him... to never leave Him... love Him as you see Him... in everything you make Him... for you are who... who make Him and not He... so why this needless fight... stop... in His name at least don't fight... just follow your conscious... and the rest will naturally lead to His light.

Comment received from Facebook Friends for: Geeta Chhabra’s Facebook Post – When I Am trying to relinquish…
There were many experiments done by scientists by keeping dying persons on a sensitive scale and they concluded that the soul has weight. Actually, the soul is weightless. Our attachments to our kith and kin and other worldly assets, gives weight to the soul and hence the soul cannot escape the gravitational pull. Hence before dying all our attachments to close family relatives and other things have to be given up. Your efforts are hence very commendable.

Apparently very true. However, How karma is being guided is the question? Is it the destiny or due to the behaviour of Randomness?... I am not sure, but I need a support to live, so I have accepted destiny as the prime factor... The mystery cannot be found out, and we need to truncated it at certain stage for a peaceful life...

Heart touching lines, straight from the heart, transcend time and space, underlining the singularity, eastern spiritual thought dwells on the phenomenon, with its seers saints, down the ages, Radha Krishna, Shiv Parvati, touches upon seeming duality, of day & night, summers and winters, sun & moon, eventually transcends duality to propound non-duality of existence or advent... the eternal singularity of timelessness!!!! the one and only Supreme Entity if we may take the liberty to address the magnamous whole of which we are merely but parts of, like fleeting drops in the vast expansive ocean, galaxies and beyond...

Discriminatory attitude towards girls and boys, women and men goes back to centuries. But, now it is gradually changing in India. Sensible parents are showing their children how important it is to erase the discrimination. Social order is changing for the better, many kudos for those sons who are supporting the principal.
Great Participation and outpourings..... discernible change has already taken roots..... albeit in a small seed kind of way... that is one day going to usher in a paradigm shift in our collective thought process..... by drawing in and harnessing the intelligence of superlative Thought Leaders.....who explore and exhaust all possible angles...

You have taken the poetic landscape with a storm.....the varied strokes catch the myriad moods and hues.... taking you to a rarified plane.... populated by poets of eminence.... Hopefully.... One finds oneself in the eye of a train storm..... gets to experience the lull before the storm as well as the ferocity of a raging storm... and the blissful calm that descends after the storm has passed away. A medley of accomplished poets teaming up to provide wholesome edutainment..... with some sublime word play.

The news that two of your poems have become a part of lovely coffee table book: Trainstorm and two of your poems reminds me of a quote by the American poet Jane Kenyon (1947-1995) “The poet's job is to put into words those feelings we all have that are so deep, so important, and yet so difficult to name, to tell the truth in such a beautiful way, that people cannot live without it.” Keep up the good work now that you are amongst the work of eminent poets.

....and where have these problems come from? We created them, Is it not so? Therefore to resolve them permanently, we must not create them in the first place and that comes from within in the adults and teaching the young ones how not to cause them. Taking determined actions on the results of the problems are required and we can remove them, but to resolve them completely, we need to go to the roots. So I believe.

Today without assessing these we have come to a point where we are standing on a bombshell of effects ...
Still not irreparable. ...awareness has started ....we need to follow the findings…

This is a nice poem of which tolerance, acceptance and better understanding of thoughts definitely stand out.

It has nothing to do with God. God has lit a flickering light for us to relentlessly nourish it so that it can lead us from darkness to light, from exploitation to empowerment, hard work to perseverance and from there to success, the most sought after 'thing' in this whole universe! So I believe.
Affectionately,

When we are with trees means we are in between our own spirit... because all spiritual thinkers had their time under the tree... they (forest) come on in both side as practical provider and spirituality as they witnessed life on earth over large span of time on earth... so they have a great association with us....

Miles to go before one sleeps....burning the proverbial midnight oil..... slogging hard with grit and determination.....for a noble cause...the Universe...aligns its positive forces and energies.....they seemingly rally around an positive magnetic personality....adding all the more strength.... Vitality to make our Universe all the more beautiful...on our departure.... than what we inherited on our arrival.... Empty handed we came and the exit window would see us......empty handed again....albeit the satisfaction..... Contentment....and the aura of positive energy we were able to radiate...while our time clock was still ticking on our mortal existence on this planet...all the more good will and oodles of encouragement.... God...Bless...the noble soul...

If it is Dr. Anant Joshi, rest assured, you are with the best doctor over the years. Most sports personnel are treated by his goodself. And, yes Mam, normally an XRay doesn’t reveal much.

What a tribute to your literary accomplishments and the good work you do! I particularly like your message of UAE being a beacon of peaceful co-existence.

I am absorbed by the content... listening... it's rare to have around real good listeners... listening is related with altruism... and in the liquid modernity few are interested in others... so if we start paying attentions to what people say and become listeners even without immediately reply... it's a good attitude... we can really move the attention from I TO YOU!

Beautiful. This question has been chasing man ever since he appeared on the horizon of life and it still does. What makes this question so breathtakingly beautiful and tantalizingly challenging is the fact that what it adorns is the mystically simple attire which is equally complex at the same time encouraging man to dive deep into his own Self and explore the majestically unreachable universe outside for the answers!

Violence anywhere in the world should be condemned. You have very truly mentioned the economic crises and the injustice in the society has driven class of people towards violence. Unless and until we provide the needy people with food - medical facilities – education – better atmosphere of living we cannot control this violence. This is also true that countries who produced most of the arms and ammunition also wants that violence should continue and their factories progress. The peace loving people have to adopt an agenda internationally to bring all people together irrespective of religion – colour or cast. GOD BLESS THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD.

Comment received for Mr. Kamal Bakshi’s Interview with Extended & Enlarged version in the Section of Different Dialogues – April 2017 Issue.
Dear Geeta Bua
Read your interview with Kamal Bakshi, dear Vishal's dad.
What an illustrious career he has had – the posts held, the geography covered and the delicate political situations he would have managed and negotiated. Your article skillfully brings all that to the readers. Most enjoyable reading.
I love Mr. Bakshi's comments that all our life we chase Maya and then we wait for Yama. Hopefully most of us will go to Swarag not Narak!! I suppose that will depend on how much of a swarg we are able to make of the planet while we were on it. Naam Yo Horenge Kyoh!
…. Talk soon. Keep winning, keep smiling.
Warm regards,

Dear Geeta,
Millions and millions have been slaughtered in the name of God – how sad and shameful this is. If people could only understand and heed the words you have written in your lovely piece "Fact" man would no longer kill in the name of God; because there is only One Almighty and He is watching all of us. Both of your works "Fact" and "A Bountiful Blessing" are a soothing balm for all to share and understand. Bless you dear poetess.

It’s beautiful. It’s like a prayer. A well needed one in this time of distress where we war and quarrel for the sake of just warring with each other at the slightest pretext… not for peace… just like all other areas of life… where life has become so meaningless… more shallow… everyone is trying to make a fast buck… exploiting everything and everyone in the name of greed… God too has become a victim of this… in the hand of politicians and Gurus… who exploit and use people’s sentiments in His name… it’s become like any other business….
But then even earlier I never understood this concept of God… for me love is God… I see God in everything… in a moment of happiness or sadness… in everything that is living with us… we breathe around us… for we are all a part of the same Cosmos… most of all, I see God in humans… in mankind in its belief and faith for itself… that’s why I even fail to understand this concept of God… I don’t know if I’m the right person to comment on this very touchy issue but I see humans quibbling like children in the name of God… as animals bypass us peacefully wondering… if at all… what we are up to…. When we can’t see the dying humanity right under our nose we look up to God heavenwards wondering what He can do for us!! I lie bemused and as perplexed as before… I would rather go and join children in their innocence playing happily in their fields… if you ask me!
May be Geeta you asked the wrong question to the wrong person getting an even more wrong answer… may be God should answer it Himself… considering the havoc that is being caused in His name!

Dear Geeta ji,
It was such a delight to see you feature in the Khaleej Times with your compelling and powerful thoughts expressed so beautifully – they are heart rendering and awe inspiring not only to the leaders but to all who get consumed by religious philosophies and traditions.
You have made such an impact and I am sure have culminated a seed for a positive change. Wish you dear Geeta ji loads of wishes in your future attempts to continue this contribution through your ‘pen’ in working towards a, stable and peaceful environment, devoid of religious bias, for sustainable change.
All the very best and warmest regards and love.

One God one mankind we have to understand this. We are one light of different lamps. Only purpose of our life is to spread peace and love. But to spread peace, we have to start from ourselves. One drop of peace from us can make an ocean which can destroy the hatred and racism around the world.... First step is always difficult but the difficult path leads to beautiful destination.

Exactly for me, God is love, nature, life in everything that is moving or static... life is set against... so why fight... just see His light in everything... to set things right... for He is life that we see in us... in every being... in every hope… in every beam of light... So let's knock off this fight... in His name... touch Him... if we really believe in Him... in His faith feel Him... for its your very own faith... which makes you feel Him… to never leave Him... love Him as you see Him... in everything you make Him...for you are who... who makes Him and not He... so why this needless fight… stop... in His name at least don't fight...just follow your conscience...and the rest will naturally lead to His light.

Ups and downs, pious and sinner, war and peace, poor and rich and different cultures, religions, castes.... And He ultimately made the feelings of #Love... And put it in the heart to balance the world... Great feelings Chhabra ji. A Happy Sunday….

Dear Geeta Bahen,
There are four “DIVINE CATEGORIES” among mankind and they are:
1) God, Himself.
2) Parents.
3) Gurus.
4) Artists.
Artists mean – authors, poets, singers etc. They are not made, but they are born.
There is a lot of difference between a poet and an author. Author writes, whatever in a single line, while a poet has to put the lines in proper verse so that it sounds like poetry.
I define poets as those who can listen to the sound of the Payal – Ghungroo.
In Hindi, the Sun is called Ravi. Ravi cannot reach where poets can reach!
I extend my heartiest blessings because I believe that Geeta has brought a prestigious name to our country in UAE and the Gulf.

There are sections who misguidedly believe that world's problems are accentuating. God, or no God. To my mind, we hardly understand His glory in full. Despite our frustrations with "what is", His ways of resolving problems are perhaps beyond our comprehension.

“My dear Child, Look at you…..can’t you see that light which bathes inside you, flickering and yet illuminating ‘the entire you are.’ It is what I am. How can you see Me when you look around everywhere, when I am in you, with you as much as you are Me, something I want you to know and never forget. I am inside every breath you take… I am that breath… I am that smile you adorn, I am that care and comfort that you give to those who need them most. These are things that makes me what I am….the God and the God inside you, the God that pervades ‘inside’ those pulsating atoms out there enabling them to pulsate on their own, the God that pervades ‘inside’ the universe that propels on its own enabling it to propel on its own, the God you are and yet what you are searching for…..outside!
Hidden is nothing, everything is visible to the one inside you and it hears every whisper, every wish and feels every miniscule of thought that generates out of you!” “Your” God.

Dear Geeta ji,
I really admire your report of your adventurous Vanyatra with positive overtones. We do come across with certain harsh realities but all depends on our attitude as to how we evaluate them. If goals are high, small bickering do not distract us from our highway.
I further admire your strong commitment to your assignments. I have come across a horde of Vanyatris but none with the spirit to have a sustained travel for days together braving all the hardships that come along. Road travel of 900 kms in 3-4 days, that too in difficult terrain, speaks volumes about your perseverance and sincerity for the purpose. Overnight stay in a forest rest house in a comparatively dilapilated state vouches for your concentrated approach.
I am not eulogizing but only expressing what I truly feel. An Arya Samaji does not stray from truth.
I SEND YOU AND YOUR FAMILY MY BEST WISHES & PRAY TO HIM TO BESTOW ALL HAPPINESS AND JOYS.
My greetings to Shri Ved ji.

Nice quote... everything is for us to enjoy

Geeta you are doing great and your contributions to benefit the society are priceless. You can't have a better subject.
I do think strongly that you should revive your singing and hold public gatherings. People would love it and at that exalted stage, you can give sermons on the responsibilities of having a proper family life and being an outstanding member of world community.
People at large need to be reminded continuously of the importance of proper food intake and exercise both physical and mental. Yes, all this via your singing. Because your fans adore you, they will believe you and your singing will have a magical effect. This is how you bind the niceties of life which God has given us for a purpose. Personal appearances can't be replaced...

Dear Geeta ji,
You have expressed anguish about the violent times we live in. As it is, we are at nature’s mercy. And on top of that, men's mindless acts of wrath uproot lives of innocent people – world over.
Today I heard Irrfan Khan in a debate on Times saying exactly what you are saying – reflect and understand your emotions so that one may evolve! Stay well and speedy recovery to Bhaisaab.

Geeta Chhabra’s latest work ‘Smash My Glass’ is full of emotions: anger, love, loss, hopelessness and hope.
A maturity and depth is very evident in the poems, made all the more meaningful with the excellent photographic illustrations throughout.
A diverse collection of poems, yet with an invisible thread connecting them all; Chhabra’s voice rings true and keeps us turning the pages, hungry for more.

Comments received for launch event of Geeta Chhabra’s book: Smash My Glass.
Geeta Chhabra’s latest collections: Smash My Glass, is a work of poems and prose spun like fine threads in a great tapestry. She includes in her poems and prose examination of the suffering and the joy of life.
Geeta writes about smashing the glass, the glass of the illusion of duality, to quit our ways of separateness and meet each person, leaf, and cell, as part of the whole of life.
I’m always excited to receive her latest book to see what gems she has written. And there are always new gems waiting for me in each new book! How does she do it?
Geeta lives this universal truth that all is one, and by writing her wonderful poems and brilliant prose she shows us how to find the way home to all of life.

Comments received for Newsletter, Prose Passage & Book Review of June 2016 Issue.
Dear Geeta Bua,
Read with interest your latest news letter. Was delighted to see my comments in your Viewer’s Corner. How fickle is the human mind – just when you think you are all mature & detached – one cannot deny the elation one feels on seeing one's name in print!! Thank you for creating that warm feeling.
Always look for something new I can glean from your newsletters. This one for me has the message of Gratitude and Fortitude. I would like to suggest that there are partners to both these concepts which become more relevant as we age. Gratitude goes well with solitude – in a world of competing priorities and unending demands on our time, one must make place for solitude. Detach yourself from the chaotic present. Reflect on your journey so far. Dwell on the pluses and positives. Be grateful that the good Lord blessed you with those achievements! I do that every now & then and find it very soothing!
Fortitude depends a lot on one's attitude. In your prose section, you talk about fire in the belly. So true! Obama's journey was not defined by his father's shortcomings. The first step to success is a strong, single minded attitude. The song we learnt at school echoes in my mind: Hum honge kaamyab! Man mein hain vishwas, pura hein vishwas! Hum honge kaamyab ek din!
Your messages have prompted me to self reflect. Not sure if they make sense to you!
Warm regards,

As you rightly said, it received an overwhelming response. There was not a dry eye in the room!!
At the end when all were showering her with praises, I said, and you haven't met her MOTHER yet!!!!

Geeta & Ved Chhabra’s daughter Vibha Bakshi’s documentary film: Daughters of Mother India.
Our dear Vibha,
… Dear Vibha I must confess that I have been truly overwhelmed by your committed passion, mission and zeal to script, produce and direct this timely documentary for gender sensitizing the public at large and the police force in particular on such an important issue. Yes dear Vibha you have intense commitment, drive for achieving, go getter approach, extrovert nature, good communication skills and good interpersonal relationship. Surely it needs guts to venture in this area with a wider outreach. I am not aware of the time frame and the endless efforts on your part to see its fruition. This could have been possible only through the very active support of your near and dear ones – especially dear Vishal, brother Ved and Geeta Bhabi, your in-laws Bakshis and the kids themselves. I do understand and recall that unknown to general public at large, all successful entrepreneurs and personalities, one has met or heard of have had to put in countless hours getting to where they are today. You dear Vibha also fit the bill.
Horrifying Nirbhaya's episode 2 years ago is so very vivid in our minds and I feel confident that your message through this documentary shall surely earn laurels for you. What with your personal interviews with Dr. Kiran Bedi, Dr. Abha Sehgal, Dr. Dipankar Gupta, Dr. Zehra, Suman Nalwa, Justice Leila Seth, Indira Jaisingh, Arvind Gaur/other activists and still you are searching for an answer. Did you get one?
You will be one of the important person among the panelist for interactive session/discussion after the show tomorrow evening. At this stage I would like to share with you the age old adage "cause and effect" and in this context venture to say that good ethics/sanskars/good human values must be all pervasive in our teachings from the very tender age till university level to sensitize the students and that feminine gender must not be viewed as an object in our over exposed/exploited advertisements, TV serials and social networking which has a tendency to demean the fairer sex.
Hopefully this documentary would showcase real life sensibilities of the people and would awaken them to the thought of bringing substantial change in the mindsets over a period of time. This may defy the very fact that we should stop objectifying women for the simple fact that without them the society has no meaning.
Keeping our fingers crossed, I wish, hope and pray that your documentary film gets nominated for OSCAR Award too and why not?
We hope to see this documentary sometime in Delhi. I would also like to take this privilege for requesting you to show this excellent creation in our Amity Campus for sensitizing the youth.
With fond love to Vishal and you and hugs to youngsters.
Best Regards for Ved Ji and Geeta Bhabhi and Bakshis.

It really fills me with pride that my sister’s daughter has produced a film which has been honoured both nationally and internationally. She may not be knowing of my existence, but please convey to her my compliments and greetings.
Also please explore the possibilities of sending the link of Daughters of Mother India to me so that I am able to see it.
As for the great news of Vedji’s recognition as the Top Indian Business Leader in the Arab World by the prestigious Forbes Magazine, I had intuitively understood his potential when he told me many years ago that the happiest day of his life was when he made his company debt free. From that day to this when such an honour has been conferred on him is really historic and deeply satisfying. I congratulate him from the core of my heart.
I also congratulate you for your own excellent work as a poet which has been so acclaimed in that part of the world. The inspiration and cooperation that you provide to your family and friends is amazing. May God bless you in all your endeavour.
I and my wife are pulling on. I have published a couple of books over the last few years but she has lost interest in writing. Yet a German scholar Prof. Kapp has published a five Hundred page bilingual translation of her poems this year. He wrote to me that no other Hindi poetess has been so extensively been translated in German language. She however dismissed the comment by saying that translations aren't important.
We haven't met for a longtime. I keep remembering the wonderful time spent with you and Vedji.
Our visits to Dubai have become rare. Getting old and infirm. Trying to cope with life.
However, the beauty and variety of things keep fascinating me. I enjoy reading and writing.
Hoping to be with you sometime.
Yours affectionately,

Ved Chhabra is ranked as the Top Indian Business Leader in the Arab World in Forbes Magazine 2014, 2015 & 2016.
Vibha Bakshi wins the 62nd National Film Award in May 2015 & New York Indian Film Festival 2015 Award (NYIFF 2015) for her documentary film: Daughters of Mother India.
Respected Geetaji,
We read and relish Vibha and Vedji's achievements with delight.
You are a gifted writer and poet with a vast audience of people following your books and posts.
I have a humble suggestion to make. You can use your gift to highlight the lives of few people who have worked selflessly for improving the lot of humanity both spiritually and materially. These people work with the belief that all material achievements end with the body and it’s only the spiritual deeds (not necessarily good deeds) that go into the afterlife.

Good Day Madam Geeta Chhabra,
Well the meanings, the ripples mostly caused on may it be lake, river or sea with the blow of wind, the wind brings change of mood and mostly one feels lovely and pleasant. But, occasionally when someone is depressed, does not welcome this pleasant change rather and get more disturbed. Similarly ripples make your mood to swing either way and so on.

Apparently very true! However, how karma is being guided is the question. Is it the destiny or due to the behaviour of Randomness…? I am not sure, but I need a support to live, so I have accepted destiny as the prime factor.... The mystery cannot be found out, and we need to truncate it at certain stage for a peaceful life.... Nice sharing of your thoughts.

Sometimes when a disciple finds a perfect master and FAITHFULLY SURRENDERS TO HIM, the GRACE of the GURU nullifies the bad karma. The LAW of Grace overrides The Law of Justice because FAITH is also a very powerful karma. Lord Krishna says to Arjuna, ''Surrender to ME and I shall liberate you of all sins''. The key words are FAITH and SURRENDER. I have a personal experience of this ''LAW OF GRACE''.

Comment received for Book Review: The Firebird!
Dear Geeta,
Thank you for posting this lovely and detailed review of The Firebird! You are a deeply sensitive reader and you have brought out all the key concerns and the hidden nuances of the narrative. But most importantly, I'm happy that you enjoyed reading the book, in spite of - as you say - "depressing" quality. That is, I admit, the overwhelming quality and ambient reality of the world of the novel.
Readings like yours make writing a worthwhile exercise. I wish you all the best with your writing as well.

This ripple effect is a situation in which ripples expand across the water when an object is dropped into it, an effect from an initial state can be followed outwards incrementally. Its examples are not only limited to the still water but can also be found in economy, sociology and also the concept of 'Ripple Effect' to financial markets and even to computer science within the field of software metrics as a complexity measure.

All things in this transitory world are temporary... nothing is there to last permanently... and we also a part of this impermanent world are a part of this impermanence.
Plants sprout and die... animals are born and die. Man-made structures stand bright and strong and crumble to ruins... mountains, rivers... jungles, animals... all go through this cycle of birth and death… Yet I think not of this and remain attached to material and people… we all have to bid adieu in turns. So keep an attachment which provides comfort… but don't rely for your happiness on these temporary things as when they go they will take your happiness along… let your happiness come from within your soul which stays with you for your lifetime.
Geeta Chhabra this post has touched the spirituality part of my being ... thanks wise soul.
Stay blessed

Hi Geeta Bua,
A delight to read your prose entitled Group Singing. How effortlessly you took us back to the world of dear Biji and her satsangs. I loved the way you described her... hint of a smile, raised eyebrows, eyes shut & tears trickling down. What a true depiction! It is not surprising that you enjoy the chanting so much at your stage of life's journey. In terms of Maslow's hierarchy of needs I do believe you are at the self actualization stage where enjoying peak experiences gives a feeling of self-fulfillment. What a lovely stage to be at! Very inspiring dear Bua, but as I always say, would we expect any less from you? Happy chanting.... Biji would be smiling from above!
Warm regards,
Rajiv Khanna

Namaskar Geetaji,
Special thanks to our dear Geetaji for publishing the interview of Shri Harshad R. Mehta – also the style and presentation is so simple and lucid. Geetaji – you are indeed blessed and gifted with noble thoughts and rare writing skills.
I read and re-read the interview as it was not only interesting and informative but also pithy, powerful and profound. The question answer session was a sheer delight to read.
I was inspired by Harshad Bhai’s way of living by ‘Giving’ and also his views on ‘Greed and that it must go 20 years before one’s death’. This made me reflect and wonder! – Whether ‘Greed’ is the cause for most of the challenges which society is facing today? This interview must be read by more and more people. Thanks once again.

Beautiful! Dear Geeta,
The lake of the heart is very much the same. There are ripples created and then there are smooth surfaces. The heart goes thru ups and down for all relations... but for some, ripples come and go and for some they never go but become intense and more intense. Ripples cause a tickle and keep u smiling. They are soothing and calming.
Wish all our friends experience these ripples. They remind us of being alive to sensitivities around us. Beautiful calming and balming post. Keep smiling.

Geeta ji,
Vedas state that what propels life is “Sat” or the “essence” and when Sat is vanished, that which propels life too vanishes from the physical body and we call it a "dead body". However, the wisdom enshrined in the Vedas does not call death, death! “Jiv” or life, they say only “manifests” and “un-manifests.” There is a reason behind this. “Jiva” is the “life force ENERGY” (there is no word for Jiva in English. It is not exactly life; but it is what" propels" life) and energy cannot die nor can energy be destroyed or created.
Rishis (sages) segregated energy into two; "Cosmic" as well as "Conscious" energy. What pervades in the cosmos is cosmic energy where as what pervades inside that propels life is conscious energy---it "knows" what it is doing unlike cosmic energy. What Einstein spoke about, it is said was cosmic energy. Nevertheless, Energy remains! Therefore, what pervades inside us does not die! What happens therefore is the decay of the physical body which goes for recycling into the nature and conscious energy enters into a womb to propel another body! Logically, it is difficult to discard this argument. So, I for one, does not disbelieve it. I am not getting into “karma” angle which again is a vast spiritual subject as much as Jiva. May be some other time we would converse.
Thank you Geeta for specifically asking me to comment and reply on the essence of what is written by you on your post. I appreciate it.
Affectionately,

Geeta ji, first of all let me thank you for asking me to be your friend on FB; I am honored. I have been wondering for almost 45 years since I got into services that few cities like Beirut have been decimated many times over. There is still no peace in that area. I would also say that few developed countries wage war away from their own shores continuously in the name of peace or to control global assets as oil. Peace, to my mind, will never prevail as we are not serious at all about it. On one side we try to reach out in times of disasters to almost all countries where as we also destroy in the name of peace.....I feel we are only together if it is a natural disaster and not otherwise..

Absolutely, poetess Geeta.
“For certain is death for the born
And certain is birth for the dead;
Therefore over the inevitable Thou should not grieve”--Bhagavad Gita
“The grieved are many I am told;
The reason deeper lies,
Death is but one and comes but once,
And only nails the eyes.”--GRIEFS, Emily Dickinson
It is also my belief.
I believe if we do it the correct way, like Gandhi or Mother Teresa, for instance, we will not have to come back. We continue to return until we get it right. Anyway, it’s just my personal feelings.

I definitely agree with Devidasan Chathanadath sir and particularly for the reason he defined the life after death but not reversal of life i.e. reincarnation. Even at page 695 of Guru Granth Sahib Bhagat Pipa ji says (Jo brahmande soi pinde jo khoje so pave) means the creator who is present in entire universe is also present in our body so we need to search within. All these theories, instead of supporting reincarnation rather talk about the content of our being. If we realize this aspect that we will have no physical life after death that will make us to utilize our this life to make this world more beautiful in this life of ours alone. We must recognize that after death we will be survived only through our deeds and thoughts. Five elements of our body, after death, shall merge into universe, may be to take some new form but not we again.

Technically human civilization progressing recklessly fast, mentally we are till now in the era monarchism. The same deprivation the same imperialism till now prevailed on this earth. World became so called globalized, mentally we are becoming more and more narrow. War now became the game. Peace is waiting for another revolution.

We can see life and are living it every moment in our own way but death is mystic and so quizzical. Many have written about life after life but no one can describe death. It happens and had to happen. Your thoughts on eternity are, however, justified. Life is beautiful and let's make it worthy.

First, our sincere congratulations for this honor and our best wishes for your participation. May God and Gurus be always with you.
Second, we are touched by your wish that we could be there. We too wish so. We may not be there in the body but we will be present in spirit. We would pray for you.
With firm roots in the land of Budha, Nanak and Gandhi you are a natural for the theme. Your words and thoughts will be backed by 5000 years of a peaceful, non militaristic, non conquering civilization which sent its sons and daughters only to share our spiritual heritage.
And environment may be currently fashionable in the rest of the world but we have been reciting for a few thousand years the mantras of "Shanti Rawa, Shanti Roshadaya, Shanti Vanaspataya! Shanti Vishwedeva...."
We are proud of you.

Dear Geeta Chhabra Jee,
Beautiful thought on: Oneness.
‘Really it's great journey. ...Wise is he who only truth conceives.'
Beloved ones of God, you may belong to any race, cast, creed, or nation, still you are all impartially beloved by God. You may be a believer or an unbeliever in the Supreme Being, but He cares not. His mercy and grace flow through all His powers, without distinction of friend or foe.
...Written music cannot entertain us unless it is played... nor the description of perfume delight our senses unless we smell it, no recipes of the most delicious dishes satisfy our hunger. Nor can the theory of God give complete joy and peace; we must actually realize God or attain that state of realization which gives eternal happiness through the admiration and worship of nature's beauty and its source. 'The Beloved is all in all, the lover only veils him... so let your caravan be a great journey to towards that destination....
Great Post Mam... Thanks and proud to be a part of it....

Geeta,
You are such a thoughtful and sensitive person. You think a lot and express beautifully.
Now, these conflicts and battles and wars are ravaging and seem to be a curse on humanity. But aren’t they as old as the human civilization...?
There was this war of Dev and Danab, there was war during the reign of Ram, Lord Krishna was a great warrior himself and the mastermind of the greatest war of Indian civilization at Kurukshetra....!
I think war will be there as long as we have conflicts within, as long as we are not at peace with our own selves.
When we will be at peace with ourselves, we will see the outside world as our extension and manifestation of our consciousness, and then only there will be no conflict no war. Only peace!

We haven't had the pleasure to listen and be enthralled by your melodious voice for a very very long time and have to feel satisfied with nostalgic memories of your soul lifting and exclusive recitations at many family functions and other numerous informal occasions.
Just in case the recitations of occasion on 8th Feb are video-recorded, please forward the link or the website where we could watch and listen to your heart melting voice. We shall feel very lucky indeed.
May Maa Sarswati always dominate, guide and inspire your thoughts and illuminate your path for many, many years ahead.
With lots of love for you and Ved.

Dear Geeta,
There is a lot of emotion in these poems but:
The first and second poems have too much despair in them.
The third keeps the door half open for hope. I think we should never lose hope for Allah is there.

Dear Geeta,
Thank you for taking the trouble for sending us your latest poems the contents of which highlight the unusual times we are passing through. The fact is that it has been going on for centuries.
It's His Order which must prevail but there is always some hidden meaning which is beyond our comprehension. I feel all this has been written long ago and our prayer should be to have strength to understand his Ways. With all the difficulties and challenges, the secret is that these are for our own good and, in any event, beyond our control. In far times to come, these secrets will unfold to next generations but new lines will be drawn. It's a multi-billion game and we would do well to live as correctly as possible in the times allotted to each one of us. Remember the words "je sochay lakhvar". That's God telling us! Isn’t it fantastic and a proof of what I have written. Once we accept what I say, we are free as a bird but we must live correctly.
In your next poem you may consider taking this very theme as the subject itself - the understanding of which will take the fortunate readers to a much higher level. I have on doubt about that. There is nothing for any of us to fear, or to get depressed notwithstanding the drama or the passing and hence a temporary phase.

Dear Mrs. Geeta Chhabra,
You have brought into focus what is an increasingly devastating concern around the world. The recent disturbing occurrences in India and the wider world have made me rethink whether it’s time for God to descend on earth once more to set right the many wrongs that mankind is indulging in. We need more accountability, more introspection, more ownership to restore the peace and balance of society. I laud you for your efforts to contribute to this goal.

Dearest Geeta,
I am touched that you have sent me your poems, truly touched. Your words give me some form of clarity, perhaps this is why I have been so quiet lately… may be, I do not know how to put it in words.

I count myself amongst the fortunate.
One who sees the reality of what can be achieved,
Through nurture and nourishment,
Honesty and communication.
The world’s woes can all be traced
To a lack of common understanding,
a lack of care, for the sanctity of life,
for the air we share with animals and plants.
With Earths boundaries shrinking daily
Daily must our compassion grow.
Love or hate, emotional extremes.
One wins, one loses, who chooses.

Dear Mrs. Chhabra,
Thank you for your succinct writing. You have captured almost all the facets of my life - all nine decades now - with such clarity. However, I must reiterate that regardless of how much you say I have accomplished in life, I still believe I have 'miles to go before I sleep' (Robert Frost). My mind still continues to seek new learning, new experiences and new ways to impact a meaningful difference to the world around us. I thank you once again for your narrative - we need more responsible writers like you who brilliantly showcase the efforts of the national and expatriate community in this country through their art of flawless writing. I wish you more success.

Hi Geeta,
Aap ne hamei yaad dilaya us waqt ka jab ki hawa me muhabatein he muhabetein thee. I remember one of his last performances in Bombay in 1971 - his solo performance, when people started to walk out. He was so moved with tears in his eyes that if audience does not appreciate his kind of singing why they come to listen to him. He left the stage that evening. All my younger years I have sang his songs – now they just remain a sweet memory lifelong.

Poets are special people – your poetry is special. I am commenting, especially, after going through your recent poems which have captured the global disturbance with such sensitivity.

Geeta Chhabra’s Poem: The Stalker Posted in Soul Asylum.
Written eloquently the flow keeps me reading at a pace of running away from a tribesman of Arab that is shaping from the sand in a storm. Feelings like acting on a stage, (surrealism) like that of life wandering and wondering where will life take you next.
Life has become strange and different from your native soil, from which you have been whisked away… strange… yes, still it makes sense to you. You must trust the strength inside you, that all the power once before this day of “THE STALKER”, is what you rely on to overcome any attack that comes your way.
I would have loved for you to put a comment along with your poem. I hope that I read and understood your poem correctly. Please let me know if I am in error. This is written so beautifully, I would hate to get it wrong. God bless.

Dear Mrs. Geeta Chhabra,
Happy to meet with you and others in Dubai. I really enjoyed the nice poems recited by you during the occasion of the World Sight Day on 9th October 2014. Our Founder Dr. G. Venkataswamy had similar sentiments as expressed by you. He strongly felt that Government alone won't be able to provide the required health care to all and that led him to start the Arvind Eye Hospital, which today serves 3 million patients directly every year and a similar number through 300 partner eye hospitals spread across India and elsewhere in the developing countries. I am attaching our Activity Report for the year 2013-14 for your information. Kindly visit us in Madurai during your next trip to India.

Dear Geeta, That is wonderful! You have a great soul and you have dedicated yourself to what makes this life worth living: poetry and peace amongst nations. God bless you for that! I have just returned from a long trip to Canada, the US, Ireland, and Tunisia. I gave talks about my work, the most recent of which was in Tunisia. All the best and I hope to see you soon.

Poem: Somewhere From Here To There
Dearest Geeta,
Hello, what a beautiful song of education, freedom and knowledge.
What, to the poor, down-trodden child....
We must understand how ignorance....
We're yours!
Somewhere, from here to there....
Let's rise like gentle knights....
Thank you for the awareness… thank you for your heart and words.
Truly and with love

Wow! This is fantastic. Yet somehow, knowing what Uncle is all about, this still seems something too little. He has indeed achieved a lot in his lifetime to celebrate about and we don’t need magazine endorsements to prompt us to clink our glasses. Cheers & Hurray!
May he enjoy the fruits of his efforts for many Happy, Healthy decades ahead….
With lots of love to You and Ved Uncle and the rest of our tubbar!
Hoping to catch up soon.

Congratulations! Another milestone in your poetical journey! ...

Rest all well

Dear Mrs. Geetaji,
Please accept my hearty greetings and congratulations on this news. I wish, hope and pray for the grand success of your performance and the event. It's really wonderful that your cultural activities in UAE and participation in multi cultural events will surely help in improving the image of India and its people among the hosts in UAE. You are really doing a great job by creating a cultural link between the hearts of Indians and Emirates and, of course other nationalities.
I would have loved to attend this fabulous event and I extend my sincere apologies for my inability to travel at this time. But I wish, sometime in the near future I will plan to visit UAE for an opportunity to see you or to attend any cultural event where you will be performing.
Even though I will not be there but my best wishes will always be there with you. I wish you the best of luck and great fortune not only for this event but in all your future endeavors. I will be eagerly waiting for the snaps and report of the event on your website.
Once again good luck and best of luck.

My dearest Geeta,
I am scanning through the June 2014 issue of your website, the Newsletter and your photograph. What a loving face.
Going through the photographs of your EKAL Vanyatra, I am again so much impressed. You look like a film star – very impressive, very focused, determined to leave an ever lasting impression on the school children and other residents and that somebody like you cares for them. Even the quality of the photographs is so very sharp as if done professionally. Look at the photograph 3/22 of your Vanyatra where you are wearing a garland, smiling with a tikka on your forehead and surrounded by locals who are no less impressive. Yes, there is happiness on your face and it percolates to me too. So, I shall call you a born leader. Some of these qualities, I hope will rub on me.
Now the photograph with Eesha – it would be more like mother and daughter, than grandmother with granddaughter.
Yet the Photo-News Gallery – what an impressive collage! What effort and satisfaction! Best wishes for your determination to reach out to your well wishers and admirers. Now I know, they must be reading the matter contained in your issues.
Lots of love,

Geeta Chhabra’s site / blog is not an ordinary site of gup-shup – idle chit-chat. Her site joins the people by mind and heart to each other – which is very much required for our world which is disturbed with social and political acts. The site provides knowledge and a platform for social harmony.
Indian community in UAE requires such a site! Geeta Chhabra’s site / blog is like ‘Sanjivani’ – the legendary life-saving-plant….

Thank you for regularly mailing the issues of your mag Geeta Chhabra.
In the recent issue you have reviewed HH Mohammad Bin Rashid's latest offering " Flashes of Thought". I want to know if the book is available in Arabic also. I suppose it should be. If so, can I get a copy of the Arabic version of the book. I am keen to readthe Arabic version.
Hope things are fine at your end.
What is your new offering for your fans?

Hi Geeta Ji, I have also read it and recommended to my family, friends as well. Yes, the book is written with such openness and frankly – it is a true story. She binds you so well that we do not want to keep the book down. Normally this is what is expected from a wife of a high flying politician.
Ladies suffer without making any noise. It is to appreciate that at the end she (the author) makes her life-priority and stands for it.

Dear Geetaji,
Namaskar and Hearty Congratulations.
I read the Vanyatra article- of your trip and experience in the villages of rural Maharashtra. I re-read the contents, as it reminded me of my vanyatra trips to the Ekal villages of Rajasthan, Uttarakhand and Chattisgarh districts. Your writings display power, purpose, prayer and profundity. I must tell you that you are blessed with a beauty within and without. The Ekal family is deeply indebted to you for all the great work which you are doing as a leader and volunteer. I cherish your words ‘more than money, it is the will’ – that is needed as India is indeed an incredible paradox. Education will provide answers to darkness, disease, drudgery and whole lot of issues. The holistic approach of ‘Ekal’ towards integrated village development and empowerment is commendable and hats off to all the volunteers and supporters of the noble mission. I am reminded of a mystic who said: - The purpose of life is to live a life of purpose.
Let us all take baby steps in the right direction and do our bit. The words of great Swami Vivekananda ji are ringing – Arise, Awake and Stop Not, till the goal is reached.
Our goal is education for all. 'As we help others, we cannot help but help ourselves'.

Dear Geeta,
I read your beautiful, touching poem on: "Me – The Mother". Each word pierced me to the heart, and I felt the pain of all mothers who are neglected or ill treated. I looked at my own mother, and can never imagine a world without her...and wondered at children who abandon, or, hurt their mothers.
Hope to meet you soon, I will be free after 29th - hope you will be in Dubai, and free to meet for coffee.
Lots of love,

Our very dear Geeta,
We thank you for your kind invite to 'Poetic Heart: Connecting Humanity' on 20 February at Dubai Knowledge Village. I lack words ... still, bathing in the sweet memory of a mesmerizing event.
It was a wonderful experience to be present in front of distinguished and eminent poetess – like you – while you recited your poetry on: "Me – The Mother". I had tears rolling down my eyes all the while.
Giving a chance to the young students was a unique highlight of the morning session. They were very confident and innovative.
The bliss of the music touched the soul.
Thanks again for having us over.
Love and best regards,

Dear Geetaji, Your poetic tribute to the Emirates is a work of literature which is unique in itself. No other Indian poet or author paid such a unique tribute to any of the Gulf countries. Because of this uniqueness, I thought you deserve to be among the prominent Indians.
I am very glad to know about the launching of your next book. I wish and hope it will be your another remarkable work.
I would also like to congratulate you for your another accomplishment. I was very impressed and really delighted to see your name among the galaxy of literary stars in the "Emirate Airline Festival of Literature" scheduled in March 2013. You will attend the grand event along with the stalwarts like Shobha De, Anoopam Kher etc. I wish and hope that you leave unforgettable impression in this historical event.
It will be an honor for me to have a signed copy of your another book. Thanks once again for your encouragement and warmest regards.

Poetry – No Journey Ends (April Issue 2013)
I have read and re-read this poem so many times – love its philosophy, the sadness behind the happy words – or is it my own feelings reflected back at me?! But then that's the beauty of good poetry – what one reads seems to mirror what one feels. No journey ends could be a positive thing – because then the joy of the journey carries on. And yet, a weary traveler does hope to end his/her journey and rest – therein lies the philosophy behind these lovely lines.

Music - The Song (Karman Ki Gatti Nyari Udho) (June Issue 2013)
Dear Geetaji, A very nice write up on this amazing lyrical expressions by Surdasji. The third section is extremely relevant to the present state of affairs in Indian society. However, instead of Moorakh raja we have self-centric Governance which is oblivious to the common man's basic needs and country's basic problems.
Secondly, just see if you could get the recording of this one – sung by the legendary vocalist, late KUMAR GANDHARVA, or, maybe, late Jitendra Abhisheki, which I heard live from them during my childhood.

Dear Geeta,
Thank you for sending the link to your poems in the July issue of Brown Critique. What we like most is the simplicity of your content and style.
Also checked out your website several weeks ago. Although we go back a long way, I had no idea that you have so much talent in art, poetry, music (this of course we knew) and prose!
Wonder if I missed out any other aspect of your multifarious achievements. I also sensed a strong undercurrent of "spirituality" in your writings. Is this a correct observation?
With our love to both you and Ved.

What a vivid and picturesque description of the journey! I was transported to the café, the green pastures, the hamlets as I read through. I completely agree to the fact that individually we must do our bit to eradicate “darkness and disease”, “poverty and ignorance” through Education. I had a similar experience during my Vanyatra, understood what a wonderful job EKAL is carrying out. Reading though the article memories are out of the shelves and I am inspired to go for more Vanyatras.

Geetaji it’s wonderful to have read about your Vanyatra experience at the EKAL school. Having had the chance of working with the organization I am yet to visit these places. Your encounter with the people has instilled in me a new enthusiasm to go out and make a visit one of these days. It is amazing to see the generosity that everyone at the village shows amidst their surroundings. In stark difference to the general metropolitan megalomania, this is a truly pleasant change, something that we all must learn from.
Convey my regards to Vedji.

Dear Mrs. Geeta Chhabra, Namaskar. Thanks a lot and my regards for the work you have put forward in the book. It is a privilege for me to have a copy of the book signed by no less than the Author, herself.
It is a pleasant surprise – since these days one hardly comes across with the poetry which not only reflects the moods and the shades of a city but also provides oneself – with glimpses into the ideas and the feelings for Dubai which is like an oasis in the desert.
Best regards for your forthcoming books for which once again you have chosen topics which are not the run-of-the-mill kinds. Wish you all the success in this endeavour. My sincere apologies for not having replied earlier.
Would seek your time in the second half of this month at your convenience to share some more impressions of the city of Dubai which have been expressed so well through your poems.

Indian expatriates should contribute to the UAE people and culture to the best of our abilities. This country has given so much to its expatriate population and we are duty bound to contribute as well. Keep up your good initiatives.

It’s an excellent write-up from Ms. Geeta which shows the warmth of the relationship between India and UAE. I have had many opportunities to experience the depth of such relationships. Though I started practicing from my clinic in Sharjah as early as in 1964, the first Zulekha Hospital was set up in 1992. My tireless service to the community did not go unrecognized. I was the first expatriate woman who was allowed by the Rulers to set up my own hospital in Sharjah. When I decided to open the second Zulekha Hospital and the first in Dubai in 2005, I was offered all the support from the Government of Dubai, as recognition of the service to the people of the UAE. Today, India and the UAE enjoy a wide spectrum of engagements; they have signed a gamut of agreements and MOUs in almost all possible fields of mutual interest, including economy, culture, manpower services, developing people-to-people interactions and exchange of news and information through print and electronic media.

Hi Geeta, many thanks for sharing this with me. Great to see that you are helping to inspire a new generation. Also that the students are visiting Dundee. It's a university where I have contacts/friends. I was up there, examining a thesis, at the time of the royal wedding a couple of years ago and was taken to nearby St Andrews, where Kate and William studied, for a fish and chips supper. I imagined I was sitting at a table they had once occupied, only to find out that the restaurant had opened more recently. Meanwhile, St Andrews is the most historic university in Scotland, and the various people I know/met in Dundee are very nice. Warm good wishes to you both.

Different Dialogues: H. E. Mirza Al Sayegh (April Issue 2013)
Wonderful interview indeed. H. E. Mirza Al Sayegh is the Patron of the IBPC, Dubai and makes it a point to find time and attend all important functions. He freely mixes with all the members and recalls his days in India. I recently discovered that he loves listening to Indian film music of the 60s and 70s. I presented him with the CD collection of Ameen Sayani's Geetmala ki Chhaoon Mein and the Gulzar / Jagjit Singh album of Mirza Ghalib. He very graciously thanked me for adding to his music collection.
He is indeed a true friend of India and Indians in the UAE.

Different Dialogues: H. E. Mirza Al Sayegh (April Issue 2013)
Excellent interview, well edited and presented. I know H.E. Mirza Al Sayegh for the last 24 years. Debonair, dignified and an ocean of knowledge. He is an icon of the outstanding Indo-UAE friendship and trade relationship that we have today. He has got amazing knowledge of India, its culture, art, movies, food and so on. All gained by living in India and reading about India. His message to readers about the influence of knowledge and learning on building relationships, demonstrates his understanding of people and the long term vision of UAE. May I borrow the words of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and the Ruler of Dubai says – “Connected thinking is the best hope for progress and for successful and peaceful existence in the generations to come. These connections – between people, nations and ideas created Dubai itself. Whether a small village in the early 20th century, or the bustling metropolis it is today, Dubai is a manifestation of connectivity”. H. E. Mirza Al Sayegh, Ramadan Mubarak. Good Luck and All the Best.

Different Dialogues: H. E. Mirza Al Sayegh (April Issue 2013)
Dear Geetaji, as promised in my previous mail, please find below a few words on the subject. The subject is very wide and there are many aspects to it. I took the current issue of amnesty in Saudi Arabia and tried to limit my views in the minimum possible words, but it exceeded slightly. Hope it will fit in your site.
Being a major part of expatriates, Indians are real partners in growth of UAE and other Gulf countries. Indians are the key to transformation of Arabian desert to ultra-modern infrastructure. The ruler’s preferential gesture towards Indians reciprocates our dedication. Being peace loving and law abiding community, Indians are prominent all over the GCC.
In Saudi Arabia recent gesture of King Abdullah to extend amnesty: will take Indo-Saudi relations a step further. As Indians are highly respected for their work ethics, many companies are still looking to recruit more Indians. Thousands got jobs through Indian missions. Being longtime residents, many Indians adopted local tradition and culture. This makes long lasting relations and special bonding of these countries with India.
Thanks for your gesture and hope to see many more feathers in your cap.

… I found the two most wonderful copies of your books waiting for me. I will be doing a spot feature of your work in our September issue ‘Around the World in 30 days’.
I loved your beautiful poem ‘No Journey Ends’... I don't know how I could even relate to the poem when honestly I know that we both have had very different experiences in life... But I realized that the genius of the poet is when he/she can express a universal truth, that is not bound by circumstances or experiences. It just is.
You inspire me... I am still reading your work and each speaks to me in a very strange way, and I wonder how you could even have thought to write them. How do those experiences become words? It still amazes me.
For now, I am your most ardent admirer...

Different Dialogues: H. E. Mirza Al Sayegh (April Issue 2013)
Respected Geetaji V Chhabra,
I have gone through your interesting conversation with H. E. Mirza Al Sayegh, who apart from having many other official appointments is also the director of H. H. Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s office.
Two aspects of discussion mentioned are really note-worthy. Firstly, because he and his family has visited India in the private and official capacity: Mr. Mirza Al Sayegh has always kept very good relations not only with newly arrived Indian Community after 1960, but known very well my own small business community – established here in Trucial States since more than two and half centuries. My small community of Thattai Bhatias had always very good personal relations with all ruling families of Trucial States – now UAE; we have enjoyed their generosity and protection.
I always feel that most ruling families of UAE have very rightly and wisely used their wealth for betterment of people inside UAE as well as in various other countries of the world in need. H.H. Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum is one such Ruler who has extended his charity work as mentioned. Apart from opening several educational institutions worldwide, few Indian High School students also receive “Sheikh Hamdan Award” every year.
H.E. Mirza Al Sayegh has also played a key role in the formation of Indian Business and Professional Council (IBPC) of which he is Patron. He has always taken keen interest in its activities and attends and addresses many important meetings.
As mentioned in your conversation – the father of Mirza Al Sayegh, late Mr. Hussain Al Sayegh was educated in a Parsi School in Byculla, Mumbai (India) and he himself opened a school in Dubai for locals. In a message to your readers, H.E. Mirza Al Sayegh rightly mentioned that knowledge and learning are the only weapons of understanding the good in relationship. Similarly, it gives him (Mirza Al Sayegh) contentment when H.H. Sheikh Hamdan’s goal is to cure illness and educate the illiterate. We are grateful to H.H. Sheikh Hamdan.
This reminds me of one illustrious Parsi gentleman – Mr. Nani Palkiwala – who was also the Indian Ambassador to USA and the head of TATAs. Personally known to me, Nani Palkiwala was asked, ‘What are the three things for betterment of mankind?’ He replied, ‘Education, Education & Education’.
As expressed by H.E. Mirza Al Sayegh about his future dreams of Peace and Prosperity for all, and spirit of understanding, peace and tolerance among nations – we too hope and pray to God for betterment of mankind all over the world.

Different Dialogues: H. E. Mirza Al Sayegh (April Issue 2013)
Ms. Geeta Chhabra’s dialogue with H.E. Mirza Al Sayegh re-emphasizes the long and fruitful relationship between UAE and India. I had the pleasure of meeting H.E. Mirza Al Sayegh during one of the Former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Mr. Tony Blair’s visit to India. H.E. Mirza Al Sayegh truly exemplifies the strong India – UAE bond and the Indian community has continually progressed under his patronage. The royal families have been and continue to be extremely kind and generous in encouraging the Indian population’s participation in the country’s growth. UAE and India are both very enterprising nations and I hope this relationship continues to flourish in times to come.

Geetaji, I have known H.E. Mirza Al Sayegh for decades and one thing that attracts us towards him is his simplicity and smile! He is one amongst us Indians and his love for Indian community is unparalleled. Your interview of H.E. Mirza touched my heart. He is aptly spreading the vision and benevolence of UAE leaders and in particular the Al Maktoum family. I am proud to have known H.H. Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum and H.E. Mirza Al Sayegh whose main aim is to educate the illiterates and provide health care facilities to millions around the world. I vividly recall he introduced me last year to Juma Al Majid and I came to know from your interview that Juma Al Majid was a student of H.E. Mirza's father! We at IBPC are proud to have him as our Patron.

This is truly an inspiring article, it not only defines concrete relationship between UAE people and the Indians living here but also sends out a message of love, peace and prosperity. Mr. Mirza Al Sayegh has been our true Ambassador and he has been contributing a lot to the Indian community by being in all their functions and get-togethers. I have personally seen him speaking on many occasions and his speeches are astounding, rich of history, culture and well-being. I am happy that Geeta ji selected such an eminent personality. I am also pleased to hear about all the charity information listed in the article. Today, in parts – the world is a place of care and not selfishness. If you care for others, others will care for you. A safe surrounding is not only better for the society but also for our families.

Wondering... Reflecting... all that is born will one day die... but the most important issue is 'WHAT DIES' Am I the body, Am I the mind, Am I the intellect? WHO AM I?
There sure is a dimension in us which is beyond the mind, beyond the body, beyond the intellect, beyond the senses… that which is eternal and beyond any words… silence which thunders which is profound. SILENCE IS INDEED A NEED OF THE HOUR - DO WE LISTEN TO THAT SILENCE?

Different Dialogues: Ms. Isobel Abulhoul (August Issue 2012)
Dear Geeta, The interview, from the moment you entered the Bastakiya area, its vivid description, building up to the interview with Isobel Abulhoul, made such interesting reading. I am so privileged to know Isobel from the very early days of her arrival in Dubai. Our children, too, are of similar ages. This great lady deserves each and every accolade she has received, culminating in the OBE by H.M. Queen Elizabeth of Great Britain in 2010. May Isobel continue to receive more recognition, awards and success in bringing “solace, pleasure, peace, and spiritual aspect reading brings, not only to children but to all who believe in the power of Words". I also end by using Isobel's own words that in trying times, never give up, "when one door closes, another door opens". And Geeta keep writing, I love you poems. God Bless.

Prose – Analysis of Laziness. (November Issue 2010)
Very correctly said, brief and not volumous but hitting the nail on the head. Laziness and lethargy are truly unsaid enemies of every human being. I wonder if I have fallen prey to laziness in many different phases of my life and I’ve had to fight hard to keep laziness and lethargy out of my life. So I can very well understand the moral of your story. Thanks.

Geeta I have come to know that you are busy compiling another book of poetry. If true, it would be a very good news for your readers. We want to know what inspired you to write poetry. This is a creative art and not like picking up another past time or a game/cooking etc. How do you manage to accomplish this honourable task? Do you work long hours because as a house wife your exalted husband, children would need your kind love and care, I myself do a number of things but you are great. God bless you and your family.

Poetry – A Trekker’s Song (May Issue 2011)
I love forests, trees particularly. Wish one day I can experience the magic of wandering around in a forest, surrounded and shaded by giant trees and my mind running free along with my soul. Hmm... That would be bliss. A forest holds a secret world within itself, where the blades of grass don't feel overpowered or overshadowed by the gigantic trees but instead, I am sure they appreciate their protected state and in return are a crowning glory for the massive underground root network of the trees… I love forests for I feel the mysterious spirits living in forests.

Prose – Mutual Reflections (December Issue 2011)
The second film is called "Tokyo Story," by Ozu. And after I watched Make Way for Tomorrow, I found out that Tokyo Story was inspired by Make Way for Tomorrow. Here a Japanese couple goes to visit their children in Tokyo, again the children are busy living their lives, too busy to take time out for their parents. The parents never condemn or ask anything of their children, instead they are happy to receive whatever their children give them. I won't go into the whole movie, if you get a chance you might like to see these movies. I saw both on You Tube online. These days I think about dying to self as a way for eternal life. I see parents as getting on the path to dying to oneself, one's lower self, the ego, etc. to their way to eternal life and the life of the higher self. To give without asking for anything in return, that is true giving, to love without asking for love in return, true loving. Many times I saw my parents, and many other parents, you included, doing both over and over. I am in awe of parents, who love unconditionally and completely. And it's a gift to be a parent in many ways, this is one of the biggest gifts to give away your "self" for your eternal self. To give away your own wants and needs for those of your child. Wouldn't the world be a better place if we all did that? If we all saw each other as children. If we loved each other as a parent loved their own child. That's the world I see. That's the heaven on earth I see. There would be peace in the world if we saw ourselves as each other's children. And peace is the way of the world, not war.

Well Mam, I do believe in Miracles and it is very true that facts have to be in place. What a wonderful way of comparing the heart to the radio. All we have to do is stay tuned in and God will perform the miracles if we are true at heart.

To me, when one becomes a parent, and since I am not a parent, these are just my own assumptions and opinions; one gives up one's self, or dies to one self and becomes bound to take on the care and responsibility for this young life. Parents are selfless, full of love, full of grace. They will toil away at any job to care for their offspring. It's puzzling why children do not always see this sacrifice and respect and honor their parents when their parents become older. Elder - it's an important word. Wisdom and experience and great patience come to my mind when I hear that word. As opposed to elderly - in our society, we think of frail bodies and enfeebled minds, when we say the word elderly, never was my father more wise, more loving than the years when he was in his eighties, his mind was not frail, his body was, somehow he became full of light, the light of God, the light of the world, He was beautiful, is beautiful, as his soul remains with me, with us, still. How did that happen and when? That we stopped using the word elder and use now elderly? When did youth become the only part of life to be glorified? And love to see how these two people loved each other was beautiful. They continued to sacrifice for their children till the end of the film, except in the final scene when they did what was best for them. There was so much in that final scene and in the movie.

Prose – Bauji (My Mother’s Father) (January Issue 2012)
Your article has brought back such a flood of memories, Geetaji. Incidentally, I too addressed my nanaji (maternal grandfather) as Bauji. To me he was not only a grandfather but a father since I grew up under his care for the first ten years of my life until sadly at a young age of 58 years he lost his battle to a throat cancer at the Liverpool Royal Hospital. After which my nani took over and continued till she gave me away to my husband literally doing the 'kanyadaan' all by herself, much to the dismay of the purists of Hindu religion who frowned upon a widow doing the ceremony! He was a freedom fighter, a senior politician who won many elections but above all an amazing physician who had magic in his hands. In fact, I remember a never-ending stream of patients coming from far and wide and lining up outside his clinic and hounding us at home, too. He used to get up in between his 'thaali' meals, much to my nani's dismay, get dressed and leave to attend to his patients. My sweetest memories are sitting by his side on cold Delhi winter nights in his duvet and pouring over humongous medical books, loving the feel and touch of those massive tomes. He wrote many a medical texts in Hindi for the practitioners of North India. Sadly, only two volumes of 'Adhunik Chikitsa Vigyan' were published before he died, lone copies of which I treasure. The manuscript of the third was ready but got lost in the mayhem following his untimely death. Tears flood my eyes as I write this and cherish these warm memories... Maybe my love for the science of medicine found its roots in those early years...

Prose – Mutual Reflections (December Issue 2011)
As my parents became older, as I got older, I appreciated more and more the sacrifice they made for me, and for my sisters and brothers. They never asked anything in return, only that we live and be happy, in whatever way we wanted. My parents never pushed or prodded us into any profession or into a certain kind of life. These past few weeks I watched two movies about older parents and their children. One is called "Make Way For Tomorrow," about an older couple who are losing their home and must go live with their children, except none of their five children can take both of them, so the couple are separated. It was devastating to watch. And poignant, on many levels. How sad that we are all racing around living our lives and yet ignore or dismiss the most important things right in front of us.

Dear Geeta, You have captured the essence of living. We feel we are acting/working but unfortunately it is wrong. It is Him who is working or under whose directions we are working. We try all the time to work and achieve what we think we want. But we note all these times that someone else is working or guiding/directing us. The day we leave it to Him (work for Him) that is the day we can say we have arrived. All the peace & happiness dawns on us. Yes, we should only be working for Him… Regards.

I read complete interview with Geeta Chhabra. I appreciate, respect Shree Maghabha’s hard work towards Bhatia community, all other Indians and also for the adopted Nation of Dubai. With due respect to his brothers, elders, late Naribha, late Baghubha, late Pamanbha and younger brother late Damoderbha, they also worked for Thattai Bhatia community and their family members. I pray to Almighty God to give long, healthy and wealthy life to Puj Maghabha to do more and more social work.
Govind Jethanand Bhatia
Different Dialogues: Mr. Maghanmal Pancholia (June Issue 2012)
Shree Maghanmal J. Pancholia is known as Maghabha. He is old timer (over 70 years) in Dubai. Highly respected in Indian and U.A.E. National community. Very close to ruling family and high dignified personalities. Maghabha did lots of social work for Indian community. He is cool natured with high vision and foresighted. He is spiritual and humble personality. I always say to myself to learn from him and be like him. Although he is my brother-in-law (sister's husband), I find hard to be like him. However, I am trying to be little bit to his quality of life. I need not say many good things about him as many of us know his good quality.

Jai Guru Geeta ji, This is a beautiful thought; but here is something to consider. Does one expect any results when one works for God? Does one bother about results? Should one? Does one see oneself as the doer? Or is one just an instrument? "Not mine, but Thine will be done"! In God and Guru.

Prose – Mutual Reflections (December Issue 2011)
There's so much to say about "Mutual Reflections", I feel a flurry of thoughts and ideas racing around my mind all at once. I have to stop and breathe to allow some ideas to find their way out of my fingers onto the computer. Honor our mother and father - I believe strongly in this. Yet, as a young person or younger person, I feel I did not always obey my beliefs. With bowed head, I pray that I am forgiven, as I always deeply loved and respected my parents. As a not so young person, I honor my parents more and more…

My dear Geeta, What a beautiful piece you have written. Real flowing English with so much grace & life! Thank you my dear. I wonder if I deserve it. My knowledge of modern technology is basic, and I have never tried to master advanced creations, although recently a group of Filming Crew have come from our region of Iran to prepare some documentary on my book ‘Zelzelah’ & Life’s achievement record. Several messages from a newly created Facebook of friends and old students are appearing.
I seem to subconsciously have to preserve old world knowledge and blend them with today’s world. The release of your interview is very timely as I have given a copy of the fax to the leader of group to read and learn some points.

Thank you for including me in your great news and for asking me to participate. It was truly my joy. Geeta Chhabra's book of poetry reflects her vibrant attention to life, all of life. Her beautiful mind and soaring spirit use language to show us all this fleeting life we have. Geeta writes with tenderness about our ephemeral lives, a tenderness that is full of deep love. Geeta embodies the meditative mind. Her daily life is a meditation and in that quiet space she writes poems from her soul.

Book: An Indian Ode To The Emirates by Geeta Chhabra
Geeta Chaabra’s poetry is about the Arab land, its skies and the life within. Arabic Poetry resounds in the socioeconomic diversity of the United Arab Emirates. One can find a poem lurking around near Burj Khalifa. Structures reverberate of images running amok with an old world feeling, an old man listening to the breeze at the foot of a twenty-eight storey building at night while the desert in the distance believes what it has always remembered, an eternity within.

What a lovely person he was. A colossus indeed.

Well said Geeta! This sort of behavior is indeed a 'curse' and a deep rooted heirloom virus found in certain strata’s of our society. On a lighter note... this is one scam the governments are not blamed for.... not raising awareness to the social blindness that afflicts our affluent society.

Different Dialogues – Dr. Qais Ghanem (October Issue 2011)
Dr. Qais Ghanem is a close relative, yet he is a closer friend since childhood. Luckily we were neighbours in Aden-South Yemen-I can say about Dr. Qais is intelligently of peaceful heart, sincere and naive since his childhood. Personally, I enjoy his personal qualities more than many of my relatives. Though we both are of the same generation, but we were of different family environments, he born in an educated family. His father was a first class educationist with a doctorate. Mother was educated, away from illiteracy. His brothers and sisters are highly educated. Comparing myself to Dr. Qais I was in a less educated family born in the suburbs of Yemen. On other hand, I strived continuously on high education qualification and achieved a lot that was due to my brothers who were also highly educationists. However, I congratulate Dr. Qais for his multiple achievements, his sincere heart to love people irrespective of their social cores. My best wishes and regards.

Have been very busy over the past few months (projects at work etc), but have been following your newsletters with keen interest each month. It is amazing how you have taken this from simply an idea to a rich repository of ideas and expression. So look forward to each edition! Great minds must think alike - one of the books I read in 2011 was The Art of Happiness (Dalai Lama / Cutler). I have since explored several other works on Happiness. Recently finished The Happiness Trap by Dr Russ Harris Will soon commences his The Confidence Trap: From Fear to Freedom. Do Google this author - he has a very practical view on happiness. His Acceptance Commitment Theory (ACT) does greatly appeal to me. Simply put, some things in life you just have to accept, other things you need to make a commitment (and then make them happen). Easier said than done, but it not a bad framework to work with in a world that is complicated, challenging and times, caustic!

Your letter to your readers provides sound advice. What a wonderful co-incidence and meeting of our minds across several oceans! Reminds me of the lines of a poem I read at school (pardon some lost words because it was a long tome ago - some 35 years!) The voyager and the settler often have the same goal. If I explore the heavens or if I look deep inside, well it really doesn't matter, AS LONG AS I CAN TELL MYSELF, "I tried!"
Karam (effort / trying) is the true essence of life. Over the years I have been both amazed and inspired by your efforts in so many fields and with such tenacity. In you I see a glimpse of the persevering spirit of dear Daddyji and of my own father. That is the highest compliment I could pay you!

Poetry – 'Me - The Puzzled Person' (June Issue 2011)
Your concerns expressed in the poem 'Me - The Puzzled Person' express the concerns of millions of us who are living constantly in an uneasiness and acute anxiety, given the state of affairs around us. I have a feeling that wherever one may be in today’s world, the geographical location has ceased to matter in a significant way. I keep wondering if there is a safe place on earth? The realization within ushers a sense of despair. Each of us feel a sense of helplessness while witnessing the loss of human lives and other atrocities committed on a large scale. We all know there is no justification whatsoever for such happenings and mind set. Your poem resonates with all of us. To my understanding a time will come when our individual sensibilities will acquire a larger voice and it would be difficult to ignore the collective conscience.

Dear Bari mama,
I have really liked your website. I am going to always look at your blog.
I have written a poem on
your site with all my might!!
It has such good prose
that almost blew off my nose
there are many a tales
that made me eat bhel.
People young and old
will suddenly find gold.
Together we read,
we will find the lead.
All the time you are in my mind,
I am sure you will be mine.

Prose – Mutual Reflections (December Issue 2011)
Well said, Geeta! A very balanced article that does not lay blame on either parents or children but one that highlights the duties the young have towards the old.
Madhavi Murthy
Founder Member of Book Club
Director of Comprehensive Education Institute
Dubai, UAE
Prose – Mutual Reflections (December Issue 2011)
The above mentioned articles and the very topical film Baghban did highlight "neglected parents" - "neglective children" - but there is also the flip side to this issue - children who have put their entire lives on hold to look after their parents in their hour of need/old age, making supreme sacrifices at the cost of their own families to be able to give their parents the care, support, respect and love they deserve, fulfilling all their needs; to do so, one needs to remember that we no longer enjoy the support system of a joint family - today's nuclear family, where both parents are working, it is just not that simple to maintain house, family, children etc. and while a man may demand that his wife help look after his parents, does the same hold true for a daughter? Blessed are those whose husbands are truly supportive (I know, my husband is one of the most giving of humans) and think of his in-laws as his parents; so please don't paint all children in the same hue; look beyond a few news clippings and you will find many a silent but loving child.

I love 'Wings', specially the expression wings waiting to sprout and burst open. It almost sprung an image in my mind which I would like to paint. Prose-Piece - Principle of Wisdom has come timely.

I do not have a business card but I can say few things about my educational background.
I did my graduation in philosophy-psychology from Mumbai University. I've worked as a news caster and announcer on Mumbai TV for some years. I've also worked as an anchor-interviewer of doctors... again for Mumbai TV. After which I became a full time mother. Managed to get a diploma in interior design. The longest that I worked for was with an NGO doing voluntary work for cancer afflicted children and grown-ups. This I did for 12 years.
My passion for music and literature is the strongest and so I learnt playing sitar for 20 yrs from Pt. Nayan Ghosh and now I pursue classical vocal with an Agra gharana teacher Smt. Sandhya Kathavate. I too enjoyed meeting both of you and sharing some musical moments with you.

Glad to read about your association with Nissim Ezekiel. It reminded me of my association with him during my Post Graduate studies in 1963 in Mumbai University. Vast numbers of pictures rushed through my mind, some of them stayed longer than others because they were my favourites. My last meeting with him was in Dadar Nursing Home where he spent his final days. It was indeed a very painful meeting. He passed away after about a month. He was one of those teachers you can ever forget. Hope to see you in EKAL meeting.

Prose – The Dark Truth (April Issue 2011)
We as parents are confronted with difficult choices as to how to raise our kids.... the issues raised and concerns expressed by you in "The Dark Truth", resonate well with all of us. No parenting could ever be perfect and ideal. As parents, we do make choices and we also experience the aftermath of those choices. It is also a fact that most of us undergo painful experiences at one or the other stage in life. However, blaming those experiences can't be an excuse for living as I please attitude. So you rightly say it’s the attitude which matters. In my view each individual has the capacity to transcend his/her experiences and choose not to live from victim's consciousness. Bacchan's capacity to transcend experiences of criminal neglect by his children is what makes Baghban otherwise an ordinary and clichéd story an uplifting experience.
Geeta di, I completely identify with your intimate expressions on spirituality which is not out there rather is so deeply embedded in the little tasks that we perform in our day to day living. Switching of the light when no one is there in the room is as spiritual for me as reading Rabindranath Tagore or Gandhi's experiments with Truth.

I totally agree with your comment "trusting our children is a grace; nothing should distract us from the rooted advantage. However, trusting a child with everything (including a kind of overgrown freedom) is as much a fault as trusting no one".
Although it is not easy to judge how much freedom is too much freedom, it is essential to move with the times and yet maintain your values.

When we conduct these workshop here in Mumbai we get excellent response. I use to give talks on these topics when I was in Oman. I used to write a weekly column in Times of Oman, wrote four articles for PDO NEWS (monthly magazine of Petroleum Dept of Oman), two articles for magazine Tribute of Apex Publication.

Different Dialogues – Mr. Vijay Prabhu (April Issue 2011)
Sorry I haven't written to you for a while - been very busy at work and with the kids.
Enjoyed your April updates - your description of Destiny Farm in the Nilgiri Hills was beautiful - felt I was there!! These dialogues are great as they allow us to see different perspectives of how others live their lives. One suggestion I would like to make is that in your repertoire of questions, you may ask "What has life taught you that you would like to share with my readers?" I often look out for such "pearls of wisdom" and have picked up some gems over the years. I will share a few with you:
The first one is a quotable quote that our very own Vikram Bhai recently shared with us:
"Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle. But you shall be the miracle. Every day you shall wonder at yourself, at the richness of life which has come to you by the grace of God. Not in doing what you like but in liking what you do is the secret of happiness" James Berrie.
I cannot recall who said this but it was some high profile Australian mother who was asked what her mission in life was. I was most inspired by it. She said "My goal in life is to raise happy & healthy children who have lots of dreams that they would like to fulfill. My goal is to develop in my children the passion and the skills to achieve those dreams." Please share this with dear Vibha & Viresh.
I yearn to catch up with you someday and have long discussions on all these intriguing topics - life, its meaning, its lessons and more. For now, I will go back to the warm memories of times I have spent with you & dear Ved Uncle in Bakhtavar during my frequent work trips to Mumbai in the mid 1980s!

Prose – The Blame-Game. (December Issue 2010)
This is true, the closet to your heart you mostly encounter on a day to day basis is trapped in this “BLAME-GAME”. They try to drag you along with their insecurities and make you the “scapegoat” of their doing. How do you tackle this situation, without having a heated argument? The more you stay calmer the more they persist. Do you have an answer for them or you just stay as far as can be?

Geeta di to begin with I am amazed at the simplicity and profoundness of your thoughts and expression. It’s so true that our life probes us in so many ways. Its so good to go through your thoughts and feelings and getting to know you more intimately. You are blessed Geeta di, you are endowed with capacity to feel intensely. Geeta di writing is cathartic like any creative process… am so glad that you are on this journey and progressing so naturally… I believe that any creative process if undertaken sincerely and with utmost integrity helps us to create a space within, where one can return to reclaim one’s strength. It helps building a resistance to withstand outside. It’s a beautiful journey Geeta di. I am so fortunate to know you.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I could not agree more & do endorse what Prof. Ezekiel said "to crave for is self defeating". Here I am reminded of "KHUDI KO KAR BULAND ITNA, KEH KHUDA BANDE SE AA PUCHE, BATA TERI RAZA KIYA HAI".
Besides I would like to share one couplet composed by me way back in the 60s. “The deep dark sea stretches far and wide, but you are not there to sit besides, The moon's silvery path doeth add romance, as I sit alone and dreamily glance, but what good is this paradise, when separating us are miles and miles.”

Letter To My Readers (May Issue 2011)
I'm very glad to read your newsletters. Congrats from the bottom of my heart on your inspiring achievements. I am very happy to read about Vibha and her success on making a movie through Ratan Tata. He truly deserves the respect and recognition. I m sure that his story will inspire many young people to follow his foot steps. For years, I had a strong desire of inspiring someone to make a movie on an American lady, Jacqueline, who was a banker by profession. She had a motive of supporting and empowering the needy and tried to convince her senior managers to finance her operation/ideology but no one took her seriously. After a few years of struggle, commitment and strong determination, she managed to start an acumen fund and gain support from Bill Gates, Rockefeller Foundation etc. I have read a few pages of her biography in the book, ‘Blue sweater, bridging the gap between rich and poor’, and I was shaken up. She has changed life of millions of people and I would strongly suggest you to read about her on net and encourage your daughter to make a movie on her. It will help millions of people in many different ways and will lift the spirits of the deprived – and that’s exactly what Ekal, as a team, is about – educating our nation’s poor and providing the deprived with opportunities.

Prose – Tata Group’s Gift to Remember (May Issue 2011)
As a pathologist with special interest in infections in cancer patients (my MD thesis topic of research at AIIMS) my love-hate relationship with the disease started 25 years ago. As one patient after the other succumbed to the dreadful infections they contracted since their immunity was zilch with the disease of cancer and its treatment modalities, my fascination with the power of disease started. Then it struck closer home afflicting family members and friends one after the other in quick succession, the horror with personal loss multiplied. Peering down the microscope and seeing these nasty cells getting angrier by the day and running away from all types of cellular controls and behaving like truant children is a disturbing sight. Even more disturbing is the way they bounce back in far off tissues that have been excised, bombarded with chemotherapy and radiation. As our knowledge of the disease has progressed with molecular tools at our disposal as researchers, so has our dread. The genes undergo changes years before we see 'the cancer' and our treatments currently only target 'the cancer'. The alarming statistics worldwide of its rise in numbers and varieties has left the medical community dumbfounded and it has been christened as 'The Emperor of all maladies'. Even 'Gitanjali, as beautiful as the poem by Rabindranath Tagore died at the age of 16 of cancer. May the story of 'Koel' be an inspiration for scores more to follow and the Tata's initiative in the country eastern wings help alleviate the suffering of many. I have a very personal score to settle with this malady!

Particularly your contribution by way of poetry to nurture the soul, in a world where people have no time to delve within, driven by only one single commercial motive, your poetry comes across as a soothing refresher !

What a wonderful piece of literature, full of noble sentiments and rich thoughts. I sincerely hope that the people of different religions, beliefs, nationalities, languages and geographies adopt the teachings of Lord Buddha, Christ, Shirdiwale Saibaba, many sufi saints, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King and, closer to our times, Warren Buffet and Bill Gates. All of these great men, who changed the course of the history, preached and practiced love, tolerance, non-violence and charity. If this happens world will be a wonderful place. The Earth gives enough for every one's need but not for greed. You are doing a wonderful job in spreading the message in your own way. Please keep it up. I count myself lucky to have known you.

Prose – The Moving Miracles (October Issue 2011)
"The Moving Miracles", which is beautifully written. I agree with you, Geeta, and sometimes wonder why we (humans) are living more and more hectic life (especially here in Dubai!) almost being deprived of the ability to notice and enjoy "the most glorious settings of God". Is this our choice, or simply we are no more aware that the beauty is all around us, or the only beauty we can see we are trying to find in man-made possessions. So many questions, but I can hardly find any answer.

Thank you for presenting to us "The 45 Lessons". I have already got a shorter version of the list and forwarded it to my friends. I have done the same with this one as it is more comprehensive. Despite the feeling that I might not embrace it all and always agree with some of the statements, I feel the need to go back to them, to "revise" them from time to time, either to find the guidance (we all need it sometimes, no matter how strong and self-confident we think we are), encouragement, wisdom and wit from the person who, obviously, had a great life experience, and above all, to raise my own spirit and optimism.

Geeta you have said it all. Chirstmas is time of giving not just in presents but in sharing and giving love, peace and harmony. It is that time of the year where you sit and ponder where the year has gone and thank God for his abundant mercies. It is a time for retrospection as well. It is the best time of year because you see much of love everywhere and is saddened when you think of the many who may not have dear ones to share it with.

Your message to the readers along with the issue of March, 2011 rightly draws attention to the plight of helpless persons, who are victims of the senseless tyranny of those blinded by unbridled power. There is also fury of nature, we need to take note of. Even the most powerful are rendered helpless before nature. What is the divine law for destruction through natural calamities? We need to ponder over this thought as well.

Two good people recognize two good souls. I opened the http://www.geetachhabra.com I really loved all 6 poems. There was sadness, pathos, depth in its meaning, warmth, a soul lost but re-born again. I cannot pin point any first but The Phenomenal Movement, To Myself and A Request, I read again. I am going to forward your email to my sister, Sheryn Mulla. She is the executive director at the Alliance Francais de Bombay. She really and truly loves poetry. She used to read poems to my children when they were around 10 and 11 years.

Idea is to encourage you to scale better heights. I remember I used to dissuade you from singing some Punjabi folk songs because, in my view. You could and you did more soulful rendering of Ghazals in semi-classical style which suited your voice and personality.
Always remember you are reciting music for a listener and if listener is filled with joy or touched by your recitation only then you have reason to be satisfied. Likewise your style /content of writing or reciting poetry or prose or even doing a painting on canvas or a sheet of paper.
In box office hit movies not all the songs get popular. Only few which have a good blend of lyric, melody, Sur and background orchestra make it memorable.....for example “aap ne hum ko kabhi chain se jeene na diya” still lingers in my memory though you sang it for me 20 years ago.
Wishing you all the success and lots of love......

I have visited your site for October Issue several times. It is something you cannot just read and leave it for good. Again I find it very informative as I have learnt lots of new things (for example: about J.R.D. Tata, father of Indian Civil Aviation). It is far from a typical encyclopedic knowledge. You have given us a portrait of a great man, with emphasis on him as a human, who could be a role model for anyone no matter the background, cultural or traditional differences, no matter the time he lived in.

Poetry: Day and Night (October Issue 2010)
Good selection of words, vocabulary unaccompanied by coherent thought process bordering on melancholy and involuntary surrender to negativity hidden somewhere in the subconscious. Apparently the search is a continuous struggle between what you are and what you wish to be. I wish I could help but I hesitate as I realize my own limitations. You must fly high and sing like a skylark and let your reader perceive that times have changed and you have matured. The spirit never changes though body does and one tends to be influenced with body-related concepts. Hope you feel encouraged to live up to my expectations. We will talk more on this when on phone shortly. Till then all my good wishes in your endeavor...

Very-well expressed. I, however, venture to suggest replacing 'standing' with 'lying' in the last line which may effectively sum up the mood of the poem. However, please forgive and do not misunderstand this. The poet knows best what to say and how, I mean no offence.

Congratulations....your website is very nicely done and you look very good in the picture. Your poems are very good. I was glad to know about Krishna's another name. Mira's sincere love to Krishna for nothing in return is something that people in this generation should learn. I am very much interested and looking forward to more of your works.

Poem: ODD FACTS (September Issue 2010) Beautiful, beautiful! You have brought out the contrast between the easy playful rhymes of your youth and the deeper heavy rhymes that come with age, wisdom, experience and understanding. Love this poem, Geeta.

Congratulations on launching your website! I really enjoyed it from all points of view including its beautiful design as well as the presentation of the wide scope of your interests. It is also very informative regarding your own personality and the characters who influenced you most and of whom, I dare to say, most visitors of the site have never had a chance to hear or read before. No matter the differences in our background, education, spheres of interest, even language barriers, there are always feelings and emotions that bring us together through the piece of writing. I hope, there will be more new prose and poetry soon, as well as interesting news about your further achievements to the great pleasure of all your friends and supporters.

Your initiative is exemplary – Brings in values – knowledge capital – nostalgia. An absolute feeling of déjà vu. The content, design and lay-outs are superb. You had raised the levels of the bar of excellence.
My favorites are ‘The Balancing Act’ (August Issue 2010) and ‘Strange But True’ (September Issue 2010) in prose and ‘The Moon and I’ (August Issue 2010) in poem. My wife remarked the other day that I had become a bit more romantic after going through your poems. Geeta – All the Best – God Bless.

Prose-Piece – The Balancing Act (August Issue 2010)
There is something mysterious in the piece, something mystical which may not demonstrate a serious commitment to spiritual involvement or the so-called 'balance' needed for the solution of 'problems' but at the same time one wonders whether it is emitting 'peace' or some sort of creative 'disturbance'. nice, readable. Congratulations.

The spirituality and connection with God in your writings, you have sent the Lord’s message of love in such a beautiful way to many. I hope that as much love that you have poured out in your writings from the Lord and your gurus to us through your talent – you will receive into your heart. While browsing through your profile, I observed to see that you have association with Shimla; I am a Himachali and have stayed and studied in Shimla, all my childhood. My father’s postings have been in Shimla for most of his career. He retired as Engineer-in-Chief, HPPWD from Shimla. Not only that, my mother has also graduated from St. Bedes, Shimla, to which you also belonged. In the end, I would like to congratulate again for superb work.

I, too, had the pleasure to meet and know Nissim Ezekiel. His mother used to teach me at The Cathedral and John Connon High School from 1944 till 1956. We used to live at New Marine Lines, in Bombay and they, too, lived down the lane. I have read the Autobiography of a Yogi and liked it too much.

Your work looks very interesting and I will definitely go through your website in depth. Nice to know that we share few interests (music and art). Above all, it is unbelievable that we share views about the Autobiography of a Yogi - that's one book I took from my father's collection (he's a very spiritual person) as a gift of a lifetime to read, live by… As they say- nothing's a coincidence. Glad to meet, and hope to stay in touch.

Went through contents and simply outstanding. Few people acknowledge the indebtness to gurus and alma mater and of these still there are few who can take creativity to the heights witnessed here in your website. I have heard you sing and treasure the memories but writing and poetry came across the first time.
Autobiography of Yogi has touched many across continents’ time and space. I would rate it as the best book of yoga and it very aptly clarifies that yoga is not about asana and strenuous exercise but rather the union of outgoing breath into incoming one which does still the mind and takes it closer to the vast empty beyond. May success continue to bestow on you. With good wishes and look forward to your next entries. Well done and keep up.

It is really nice to see your website. I found it very very good. I found it as sort of thought cleansing and stress reliever.
1. Specially the prose "On: Sweet Angels of God" is really inspiring and motivating. I feel like reading it again and again.
2. The poem "Star Performers" — heart touching. Madam, thank you very much for introducing your website. In this busy and stressful working environment, something like this is really refreshment for the mind.

It was a wonderful treat to go through your very aesthetically designed website that gave me a profound insight into your multifarious persona. Of course, I knew all along that you were a poet, singer and art lover, but to see this entire manifest so beautifully in ether made it so much more effective. I deeply appreciate your style of expressing your thoughts in verse that are said so simply, honestly and yet are so profound. I feel your poems are truly a window for others to see the 'real you' and believe me it is a very endearing 'you' that I know through your poems, I can see a woman who is vulnerable, honest, beautiful and above all such a fine human being.
Some of them that I particularly loved in this collection were The Colour Green, From My Sanctum, The Star performers, The Answer, They and Us and Speaking To My Maker.
