Thoughts have to be friend. Not the master. Not the enemy. Not the ghost sitting on our back.
Musings are not the words of the idle. They are the Gems of Consciousness.Gyan Dutt Pandeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05293412290435900116noreply@blogger.comBlogger136125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5417170383929320358.post-49991001875103772102012-04-05T06:12:00.001+05:302012-04-05T06:12:47.364+05:30Today's Sunrise at Ganges<div class='posterous_autopost'><div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <a href="http://getfile9.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/gyan/THEhyLvTYokgJByazLXimXIhDM6suSyJniUSqhOwVcoebc8xzxELeifERMFk/Apr12.0123.jpg.scaled.1000.jpg"><img alt="Apr12" height="375" src="http://getfile7.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/gyan/qR4f3ClrzwrRfmDoTa4sN0MRZTVWQwcLMaEtJpjRgkfxsezjt1xO7L5aS5hR/Apr12.0123.jpg.scaled.500.jpg" width="500" /></a> </div> <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://gyan.posterous.com/todays-sunrise-at-ganges">Gyan's Desk</a> </p> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Posted by Gyan Dutt Pandey.</div>Gyan Dutt Pandeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05293412290435900116noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5417170383929320358.post-78518593803561585032012-03-24T12:11:00.001+05:302012-03-24T12:11:52.810+05:30Ashwath (Peepal) gets new leaves at Koteshwar Mahadeo Temple.<div class='posterous_autopost'><div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <a href="http://getfile0.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/gyan/XsmdbcxH2oj2z0LJaZQR3W6cA0EJNw4lZQkxGvPJINGfuFF4oUnmh7TMbaZH/Mar12.0052.jpg"><img alt="Mar12" height="667" src="http://getfile1.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/gyan/qZGvV7ZuYZqYniZG9JY5BgF36nsw1LiGLSG9VHpCE8kOIPWJVWlBHpkJQy4K/Mar12.0052.jpg.scaled.500.jpg" width="500" /></a> </div> <p style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://gyan.posterous.com/ashwath-peepal-gets-new-leaves-at-koteshwar-m">Gyan's Desk</a> </p> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Posted by Gyan Dutt Pandey.</div>Gyan Dutt Pandeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05293412290435900116noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5417170383929320358.post-70627038515760899982011-12-17T12:43:00.001+05:302011-12-17T12:43:31.076+05:30Inflation is going down in a Big Way.<div class='posterous_autopost'><div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <img alt="15dec110599_001" height="320" src="http://getfile0.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/gyan/EJFddUrc1BxabiE9zs6zphKvbW8tt4GM7KwWY8y06yGjHY2qs76RymnP4fF9/15Dec110599_001.jpg" width="240" /> </div> <p>Look at this picture.
