Even when you fall .....

You could outdo them all !

This plane is a small plane used for aerobattics.
It is named "Halcones" after the falcon.
The falcon is the  fastest of all land animals.
Well no it is not the cheetah.
Because a cheetah runs at 70 mph
while a falcon in dive speed reaches  nearly three times as much , an incredible 200 mph !

Bobo's thought : so what if you are falling, you are still doing it in style !

Just Jelly ....

For the fasting belly !
 For muslims there is a month of fasting called Ramadaan.
In the evening they break their fast at sunset or what they call Magrib time.
In persia there is a small selection of foods served first to break the fast.
This is then followed by a proper meal.
The photograph belongs to the breaking fast variety!

Bobo's thought : seems to me like saying go slow belly, tread slowly, you've been resting for long,
so don't do too much at once !

 

Sometimes we receive

more than we ask for !

Yeah sure we ask for rain ,
because agriculture depends on it
 and we depend on agriculture either directly or indirectly.
But quite so much of it results in a deluge.
Which is just like saying too much of anything is bound to be too bad.

Bobo's thoughts : In moderation everything is fine. Take the middle way. Don't go to extremes.

Oh no, you missed the bus !

Just wait for the next one, don't make a fuss !

When we arrive too late for anything, we feel frustrated.
Well as simple as the saying 'don't cry over spilt milk' goes,
don't worry about the missed bus!
Take the sub...or a cab...or walk ...or read a book
until the next one arrives...
Bobo's thoughts : I think a lot of people spend a good part of their time trying to catch missed
buses !

Sit at ease .......

And  enjoy the seabreeze !


when you need a bit of peace and quiet
you can sit alone on a bench like this
and enjoy the view of the sea
and feel the salty sea air on your face.

Bobo's thought : In time you'll take a nap on the bench

If the sun gets too hot....

seek the shade of a friend you've got !

When things don't go well in life,
when you are depressed , or feel down in the dumps,
seek the warmth and friendship of a friend you have.
Talk to him about what ails you,
and you'll be surprised how much a true friend can help you,
just by talking to you.
Bobo's thought : Fear not, you are always in the shade of your creator.

Sail the ocean of life....

Don't drop your anchor in any strife.

When you sail the ocean of life, you'll see plenty. There will be plenty of joyous occasions.
They will seem like islands of paradise itself. Beautiful and enchanting.
Now don't drop your anchor there. For they will soon pass being beautiful.
For example the joy of success cannot last forever. But some people do get drunk on it.
Similarly there are times of sorrow and strife. But don't drop anchor there either.
For as the wise say, that too will pass in time.

Bobo's thoughts : Drop your anchor in the eternal consciousness, the only reliable place you can drop anchor.
 

All I need there....

is a room somewhere .....!

This is really a line from the famous english movie 'my fair lady'.
We all need a room somewhere to keep us safe from the elements.
Many of us also think about a room when we intend to go on a business tour , on vacation ,
would like to know if there is a room there for you.

Bobo's thought : The room that really counts is the one that you have in your heart, and
what sits there.
 

Stand TALL and be you...

Sky's the limit to what you can do !

If you let go off all the inferior thoughts that run in your mind,
If you can let positive thoughts take their place , then honestly,
there is nothing in this world that you cannot do.
Bobo's thought: So stand tall, and be all that you can be.

Crab's Eyeview

Humans are so peculiar , they always walk straight instead of sideways ! !

Well this actually comes from a joke I read somewhere.
There are two female crabs discussing their husbands who have started drinking.
And one female crab says to the other , "He is crossing all limits now, why yesterday
he came home ....walking straight !!"

Bobo's thought : Lol, whoever wrote that joke has a good sense of humor.
 

Our offering of thanks and prayer ,

(Pic: Haft Sīn (Persian: هفت‌سین‎) or the seven 'S's is a traditional table setting of Nowruz, the traditional Iranian spring celebration. )

But He exists within   you, says the mirror ?!

Most of us are in search of happiness because we have covered our true nature of happiness
with a veil of never-ending thoughts.
If you could stop thinking you would revert back to your original state of bliss.
But then who can stop thinking ? Paradoxical , right ?

Bobo's thought : In a way of looking you (and everything else) are  consciousness.
Or God is within you, as within everything else.
This view makes us automatically feel love and compassion for all beings since they are just an extension of us.
 

To get your 'peace of mind' back.....

Take a walk , in the park !

There's nothing like a walk in the park to put your mind at ease.
Rearrange your thoughts. Enjoy the ambience.
The peaceful surroundings is sure to put you in a calm mood.

Bobo's thought: If this is done on a regular basis , it can be good for mind and body.

To dissipate your gloom ...

Red Roses Bloom !

Well I don't think someone can look at that bunch of roses and not feel happy!
I can almost smell them in this picture.
No wonder the red rose is the flower of choice between lovers.
Pink roses depict admiration,
white rose stands for rememberance or 'i'm thinking of you
and yellow rose stands for friendship etc.

Bobo's thought :  When you feel gloomy , look at a bunch of roses, smell them. You'll feel your gloom lift.
