something to look at

 A LOOK AT LIFE-62 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY       THE IMMORTAL 'I' The unknown and infinite that precedes and succeeds the known and finite is as real as the present, we live in. I never feel  there was a time  when I was not, there will ever be a time  when I will not be. Despite repeated attempts, I failed to die, failed miserably to annihilate me. I have felt my body dying, seen people around me crying and taking me to the funeral pyre, the physical body burning into ashes, merging with its sources, earth, air, water, fire and space. When everything seems exhausted and consumed by time, when people say I am dead  I feel me, my existence the same way as I was feeling before, vibrant, full of life and consciousness. I feel as if I am the immortal 'l' beyond space, causation and time.

 SOMETHING I LOOK AT-127 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY I AM THE WOMAN WHO MADE YOU A MAN I gave you birth, but for me, you are here. but for me, you are what you are a man with a distinct identity.
