After reading Vir Sanghvi's article on Sathya Sai Baba in the Hindustan Times,that was what flashed in my head.. I studied in Puttaparthi from my 4th standard right upto my graduation...And what I learned from my experience there, was that Swami's greatest miracle is not the creation of an Omega watch or sacred ash...It is the transformation that He can bring about in thousands of people by His actions... I was fortunate enough to take part in the yearly grama seva (village service) which happens in Puttaparthi during Swami's birthday...This generally takes place during our winter vacations. To participate in this activity meant foregoing the holidays..And....

Life is always about comparisons...differences...about choosing between one and another... There seems to be no constant...no sameness...at every stage an option Why is the child in the street begging, and why am I working in this office?

Going home for a holiday is a unique experience. Especially if its after 6 months.. The trepidation when you submit the leave letter, the joy and exultation when its approved, the enthusiasm and jealousy of your frens, the great fuss over the booking and confirming of your tickets, the continuous planning of the gifts you have to buy( in my case, with my first salary), the nagging problem of repairing your suitcase blah blah... And finally the D day arrives!!!( Mine's not arrived as yet.
