It is important to
mention a few things in connection with the last article.
After the last article was published, I received numerous
messages from people who are out of status and thought that
merely because they have been living in the U.S. for over 10
years, they can apply for the relief.
It is extremely
important for the readers to understand that cancellation of
removal can be sought ONLY if you are already in removal
proceedings. This point was mentioned repeatedly in the last
article but for some reason the readers were not able to
recognize it. It is during those proceedings that you can
file for such relief with the immigration court (as long as
you meet all the set criteria).
He breathes life into
every character and transforms an ordinary everyman to a
memorable screen persona. May it be the Punjabi businessman
in Khosla Ka Ghosla,
the Hyderabadi driver in
Well Done Abba
or
the negative professor in
3 Idiots,
his
versatility as an actor can only be matched to the variance
of his roles.
Boman Irani is inquisitive about the
character he is playing and that inquisitiveness is
projected in his acting.Read More
Shreyas - The Art of Living
One can practice
Dharma as we saw in the previous article. As an
individual that is still the best prescribed method. That is
a prescription for Shreyas. But, there is a way to
make that effort purer and more efficient. You see, if we
are to remove our addiction to material and ego driven
desires, we need to recognize them first. To do this, one
needs a guide, who is not only an expert on the Vedic
teachings but is also an un-biased authority and can lead
others on the path of their Dharma. This is the role
of the ‘Guru,’ the teacher. In this article, we will
take a look at what part the ‘Guru’ plays in guiding
the individual to their higher state of spiritual awareness.
Born and brought up in
the gateway city of North East India – Guwahati still evokes
images of the mighty Brahmaputra river meandering through
much of the city and of those joyful days when as kids we
would play beach cricket on the sandy stretches of the river
bank every winter. There was also a wild side to this river
in that with the onset of the monsoon season, the river’s
fury and turbulence would inundate large parts of the state
of Assam, flooding almost all the riverside towns. The
perennial problem of flooding of the Brahmaputra valley
still continues unabated despite the best efforts of the
conservation authorities.
With the coming of the
Holidays we are reminded of our loved ones and look forward
to every chance we get to speak to them. Years ago getting a
clear line or even a connection when trying to make a simple
phone call overseas was a task in itself - and the
associated costs were prohibitive to say the least! The boom
of the VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) revolution has
provided us with new ways to communicate and reach out. This
technology allows you to make calls over a high speed
internet connection. Many subscription based services are
available which provide phone services using the internet
and one that has become popular to the masses is Skype.
