Religious Thought 29

Peaceful be heaven, peaceful the earth, peaceful the broad space between. Peaceful for us be the running waters, peaceful the plants and herbs! Peaceful to us be the signs of the future, peaceful what is done and undone, peaceful to us be what is and what will be. May all to us be gracious!

- Atharva Veda 19.9

Unusual Fireworks

Unusual long exposure photographs of fireworks look like giant flowers in the night sky

• Resembling giant three dimensional flowers with their plumes on display, these photographs were in fact taken at this months International Fireworks Show in Ottawa, Canada.

The bright and colourful images were snapped during Spain's entry into the competition and resulted from photographer David Johnson's efforts to add some spontaneity to his work.

Deviating from the standard exposure style that is common among photographers of firework displays, Johnson's decision caused him to fix his focus at certain points around the fireworks when they first went off, and then to refocus his lens at the point of detonation.

Canadian photographer David Johnson used refocusing techniques on a long exposure to capture his images of the International Fireworks Show in Ottawa, Canada earlier this month

tu hi khuda hai.......

Ek din mujhse kaha khuda ne : Mat kar intezaar uska milna mushkil hai

Maine kaha : Lene de maja intezaar ka agle janam mein to mumkin hai,

Phir khuda ne kaha : Matkar itna pyaar bahut pachtayega.

Muskara kar maine kaha : dekhte hain tu kitna meri ruh ko tadpayega

Phir khuda ne kaha : Hata use ... chal tujhe jannat ki apsara se milvata hoon.....

Maine kaha : Aa neeche.... dekh mere pyaar ka muskarata chehra tujhe jannat ki apsara bhulvata hoon.......

Gusse mein khuda ne kaha : Mat bhul tu ek insaan hai.

Maine kaha : To mila de mujhe mere pyaar se .... aur saabit kar ke tu hi khuda hai.......
