The Periwinkle plant heard my Prarthana

 


What is a Prarthana?

Why does it sound like Prema-Samarpana_Archana?

It is so because as plants begin to shed their yellowed leaves, I made a humble prarthana to my periwinkle. I told them that I wanted them to grow and get laden with a pretty flower. And, You my Periwinkle, gave it to me in plenty. 

Only the one who has Prana can grant a Prarthana. Prana is Prema and where there is no Prema, there is no Prana. 

Neither do I know how to care for my Periwinkles not is getting flowers under my whim. Samarpana is the key and so is Astha. Prema is the giver of Astha and Samarpana for how can you trust whom you don't love?

And, why should they love you back if you never trusted them? This fabric of Prema is the only living being and we all live in it. You kill and you steal when you live in Maya, you love and you thrive when you live in Prema.

I sometimes wonder if this Prema is the shining and pretty avarana of Bhagavana or is this Prema Sri Sri Radha Krishna swayam.

And found a touch of rural natural India on a noisy Kolkata street after about a month. I had gone with Baba to buy the small fridge. 

Here is the momento of my serene moment-


Will reference this feeling to portray homeliness and happiness someday. Let me call this feeling home coming.

Diary -24th July

  I tried learning Greek and Japanese. German is too easy and boring but I will get back to it as soon as I can. I wonder why not learn pretty much any real language on Duolingo? It will give me the variety I want.  The Greek letters sound just like Hindi letters. But the Greek letters are also like English letters. Here is my secret to Indian English. In Japanese gohan is rice. It sounds like go or cow or white and anna which means grain. Recipes I want to try: https://www.archanaskitchen.com/vegetarian-thukpa-recipe-by-saransh-goila-india-on-my-platter/amp https://www.cookwithmanali.com/thandai-powder/ Maggie masale noodles tastemaker and maggie masala e magic recipe https://hebbarskitchen.com/maggi-masala-powder-maggi-masala-magic/ Science and animals Hippos  https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2022/09/27/what-do-hippos-eat/10303668002/

How to make clip art faces-Part 1: Pretty girl face with braided hair decorated with flowers

Image
  The use of circles makes a face look very amiable. And, this picture isn't as complicated as it seems.  I have used MS Word to make this clip art. But, you can use any software of your choice.  Let's begin. You will find all the shapes used in this picture in MS Word in this way: Insert>>Shapes>> Face Select an oval.  To change the color of the oval, right click on the oval, you will find 'fill' and 'outline' options.  Choose any color of your choice. I have played around a lot with colors. I must insist that you do the same according to your tastes and requirements. Hair Here is how we use the ovals to assemble the hair.  Like this, also use ovals to complete the other side.  Flowers Let us draw a single flower then we will copy and paste it again and again.  Start with a circle.  Then draw two more concentric circles of colors you like.  Now add the petals using the teardrop shape.  Use another color to draw an inner...

Object oriented programming in dart concepts

   No introduction, let us go straight to concepts :-) What is object oriented programming? It is a paradigm that involves classes and objects. First, we will understand paradigms in detail then we will understand how object oriented programming falls in this framework. Then we will explore what are classes and objects.

We can use any  programming language to solve a problem but that approach used to solve it is called a paradigm.  Types of paradigms Paradigms separate programming languages into different categories on the basis of features of various programming languages.  1.
