Narayanan Krishnan, a 29-year-old chef from India who founded a non-profit body to feed the homeless and destitute, has been shortlisted by CNN for its annual “Hero of the Year” honour that recognises “everyday individuals who are changing the world.”

Krishnan is among this year’s top 10 CNN Heroes, who were selected from out of 10,000 nominations by a CNN panel comprising activists and philanthropists such as Muhammad Ali and Sir Richard Branson. The network will announce the “CNN Hero of the Year”, selected from among the top 10 people, on November 25. Among the top 10 CNN Heroes is Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow, a Scotsman who provides free daily meals to 400,000 children; Aki Ra, a former child soldier clearing land mines in Cambodia and Anuradha Koirala, working to prevent trafficking and sexual exploitation of Nepal’s girls. Krishnan founded his non-profit Akshaya Trust in 2003. He has served more than 1.2 million meals — breakfast, lunch and dinner — to India’s homeless and destitute, mostly elderly people abandoned by their families and often abused.

“Krishnan brings hot meals and dignity to India’s homeless and destitute — 365 days a year,” CNN said. The top 10 “remarkable individuals” were nominated by CNN viewers from across 100 countries for their sacrifices and accomplishments. In addition to receiving $25,000, each of this year’s top 10 CNN Heroes will be honoured at “CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute” in Los Angeles on November

25,2010. The global broadcast, hosted by CNN’s Anderson Cooper, Will culminate with the announcement of the CNN Hero of the Year, selected by the public in an online poll. The individual receiving the most votes will receive additional $100,000. An award-winning chef with a five-star hotel

group, Krishnan was short-listed for an elite job in Switzerland. But a family visit home before heading to Europe changed everything, CNN said. “I saw a very old man eating his own human waste for food,” Krishnan told CNN. “It really hurt me so much”.

Haunted by the image, Krishnan quit his job within a week. Helping the old man, Krishnan said he decided to “serve all the mentally ill destitutes and people who cannot take care of themselves”. Krishnan and his team cover nearly 125 miles in a donated van. He provides hot meals — simple vegetarian fare — that he personally prepares, packs and often hand-feeds to nearly 400 people each day.

The group’s operations cost about $327 a day, but sponsored donations only cover 22 days a month. Since investing his entire savings of $2,500 in 2002, he has taken no salary. Due to lack of funding, the group was also forced to stop construction on Akshaya Home, Krishnan’s vision of a dormitory for the people he helps. “Despite the demands and few comforts his lifestyle affords, Krishnan says he’s enjoying his life,” CNN added.

Gone are the days of kindergarten rules where our world was splattered with words such as ‘Please’, ‘Thank-you’ and ‘Sorry’. I remember being scolded as a kid for forgetting the use of a ‘magic word’ whilst asking for something or when I was giving something. A ‘Please’ before every request and a ‘Thank-you’ for every wish fulfiled. But aaj kal.... That’s not how it works. As Amitabh Bachchan once said in Namak Halal - ‘English is a very funny language’ and funny it sure is! I’ve been shooting in Australia for quite some time now and you can’t help but absorb some of the local lingo during such extended trips.

So, the other day, when I was back in the city for a shoot, I was confronted with how drastic and hilarious words can be when you change their geographical coordinates. In Australia, the way of the land is to say ‘Cheers, mate’ instead of a ‘Thank-you’. Everybody is ‘cheering’ away, day in and day out. Its a ‘cheers, mate’ for holding the door open for someone or to pick up a dropped pen... And a ‘cheers, mate’ for being served lunch or given your change back. Now if I were to use ‘Cheers’ here, people would either wonder - a) where’s my glass? or b) feel that I’m craving for a drink!

Lingo terminology, I believe, can actually be made a science! The usage of ‘What’s up with you?’ and ‘What’s cracking?’ has never failed to confuse parents, especially mine. They get a very glazed look on their faces and I can actually sense their eyeballs dying to look up to the ceiling everytime I spout a ‘What’s Up?’! Come to think of it, there is a certain way of saying ‘Dude’ that not a lot of people can get right. ‘Dude’ is a word that reeks of attitude and god forbid anyone from pronouncing it as ‘Due-ude’ which has been known to happen. I may have slight difficulty in controlling my laughter in that case.

MAGIC WORDS

But, I’ve come to realise that I’m not the authority on cool lingo anymore! My younger cousins have left me far behind in lingo-ism and some of the slang they use makes my eyes pop! For instance, what in blazes is ‘Psycho Sh*t’?? I’ve heard them use this phrase in situations of distress, excitement, anger and happiness. Like - ‘Dude, I’ve just got some new games for the PS3, man! They are such psycho sh*t!’ Ummm.... Does this mean the games suck, are expensive or are plain awesome? Or ‘Did you see what he did at the party last night? That was some psycho sh*t happening’! Which means (and I’m clearly grasping at straws here!) that something untoward happened at the party...someone behaved funnily. Clearly, English has crossed some crazy frontiers when it comes to being the ‘funny language’. Clearly, we don’t know the right ‘magic words’ anymore. Whatever happened to plain old ‘sorry’ and ‘please’? Guess they died the proverbial slow death. Now that’s some psycho sh*t, dude! Hahaha!

Following legacy led by his family in films, Naga Chaitanya’s debut was widely anticipated. After several rumours regarding his debut, during the audio launch of his father’s King, Chaitanya was introduced to the film world and there his debut film was launched. Josh, directed by newcomer Vasu Varma and produced by Dil Raju pairs him opposite stunning fellow debutant Karthika Nair, daughter of Radha, the film did not fare too well and Naga Chaitanya’s performance has been panned by critics.

Before starting her career off as an actress, Sonam worked as an assistant under Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and assisted him during the making of his film, Black (2005). She made her acting debut alongside newcomer, Ranbir Kapoor in Bhansali’s Saawariya (2007), which failed to do well at the box office. Her performance was opened to good reviews by most critics.In 2009, Sonam appeared in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s Delhi-6, opposite Abhishek Bachchan. The film flopped at the box office and received mixed reviews by the critics, but her performance was highly praised. Critic Rajeev Masand commented, Sonam Kapoor is the revelation in Delhi 6. She’s a firecracker performer, instinctive and uninhibited in what isn’t even a conventional female lead.

In 2010, she appeared in Punit Malhotra’s I Hate Luv Storys, opposite Imran Khan. The film went on to become her first box office success. She also appeared in the romantic comedy, Aisha, opposite Abhay Deol.

Hindu Rituals and Routines6. Why do we wear marks (tilak, bottu) on the forehead?The tilak or bottu invokes a feeling of sanctity in the wearer and others. It is recognized as a religious mark. It’s form and colour vary according to one’s caste, religious sector the form of the Lord worshipped.In earlier times, the four castes (based on varna or colour) - Brahmana, Kshatriya, Vaishya and Sudra - applied marks differently. The brahmin applied a white chandan mark signifying purity, as his profession was of a priestly or academic nature. The kshatriya applied a red kumkum mark signifying valour as he belonged to warrior races. The vaishya wore a yellow kesar or turmeric mark signifying prosperity as he was a businessman or trader devoted to creation of wealth. The sudra applied a black bhasma, kasturi or charcoal mark signifying service as he supported the work of the ot her three divisions. Also Vishnu worshippers apply a chandan tilak of the shape of “U,” Shiva worshippers at ripundra of bhasma, Devi worshippers a red dot of kumkum and so on).

7. Why do we apply the holy ash?

The ash of any burnt object is not regarded as holy ash. Bhasma (the holy ash) is the ash from the homa (sacrificial fire) where special wood along with ghee and other herbs is offered as worship of the Lord. Or the deity is worshipped by pouring ash as abhisheka and is thendistribut ed as bhasma.Bhasma is generally applied on the forehead. Some apply it on certain parts of the body like the upper arms, chest etc. Some ascetics rub it all over the body. Many consume a pinch of it

each time they receive it. The word Bhasma means, “that by which our sins are destroyed and the Lord is remembered”. Bha implied bhartsanam (“to destroy”) and sma implies smaranam (“to remember”). The application of Bhasma therefore signifies destruction of the evil and remembrance of the divine. Bhasma is called Vibhuti (which means “glory”) as it gives glory to one who applies it and raksha (which means a source of protection) as it protects the wearer from ill health and evil, by purifying him or her.

The tilak cover the spot between the eyebrows, which is the seat of memory and thinking. It is known as the Aajna Chakra in the language of Yoga. The tilak is applied with the prayer - “May I remember the Lord. May this pious feeling pervade all my activities. May I be righteous in my deeds.” Even when we temporarily forget this prayerful attitude the mark on another reminds us of our resolve. The tilak is thus a blessing of the Lord and a protect ion against wrong tendencies and forces.The entire body emanates energy in the form of electromagnetic waves - the forehead andthe subtle spot between the eyebrows especially so. That’s why it generates heat and causes a headache. The tilak and bottu cools the forehead, protects us and prevents energy loss. Sometimes the entire forehead is covered with chandan or bhasma. Using plastic reusable “stick bindis” is not very beneficial, even though it serves the purpose of decoration.

Homa (offering of oblations into the fire with sa-cred chants) signifies the offering or surrender of the ego and egocentric desires into the flame of knowledge or a noble and selfless cause. The consequent ash signifies the purity of the mind, which results from such actions. Also the fire of knowledge burns the oblation and wood signifying ignorance and inertia respectively. The ash we apply indicates that we should burn false identification with the body and become free

of the limitations of birth and death. This is not to be misconstrued as a morose reminder of death but as a powerful pointer towards the fact that time and tide wait for none. Bhasma is specially associated with Lord Shiva who applies it all over his body. Shiva devotees apply bhasma as a tripundra. When applied with a red spot at the center, the mark symbolizes Shiva-Shakti (the unity of energy and matter that creates the entire seen and unseen universe).

“We worship the three-eyed Lord Shiva who nourishes and spread fragrance in our lives. May he free us from the shackles of sorrow, change and death – effortlessly, like the fall of a rip brinjal from its stem.”

8. Why do offer food to the Lord before eating it?

Indians make an offering of food to the Lord and later partake of it as prasaada - a holy gift from the Lord. In our daily ritualistic worship (pooja) too we offer naivedyam (food) to the Lord. The Lord is omnipotent and omniscient . Man is a part, while the Lord is totality. All that we do is by his strength and knowledge alone. Hence what we receive in life as a result of our actions is really his alone. We acknowledge this through the act of offering food to him. This is exemplified by the Hindi words “tera tujko arpan”– I offer what is yours to you. There after it is akin to his gift to us, graced by his divine touch. Knowing this, our entire attitude to food and the act of eating changes.The food offered will naturally be pure and the best. We share what we get with others before consuming it. We do not demand, complain or criticise the quality of the food we get. We eat it with cheerful acceptance (prasaada buddhi). Before we partake of our daily meals we first sprinkle water around the plate as an act of purification. Five morsels of food are placed on the side of the plate, acknowledging the debt owed by us to the Divine forces (devta runa) for their benign grace and protection, our ancestors (pitru runa) for giving us their lineage and a family culture, the sages (rishi runa) as our religion and cult ure have been “realised”, maintained and handed down to us by them, our fellow beings (manushya runa) who constitute society without the support of which we could not live as we do and to her living beings (bhuta runa) for serving us selflessly thereafter the Lord, the life force, who is also within us as the five life-giving physiological functions, is offered the food. This is done with the chant. After offering the food thus, it is eaten as prasaada - blessed food.

9. Why do we fast?

Most devout Indians fast regularly or on special occasions like festivals. On such days they do not eat at all, eat once or make do with fruits or a special diet of simple food. Fasting in Sanskrit is called Upavaa-sa. Up a means “near” + vaasa means “to stay”. Upavaasa therefore means staying near at (the Lord), meaning the attainment of close proximity with the Lord. Then, what has Upavaasa to do with food?

A lot of our time and energy is spent in procuring food items, preparing, cooking, eating and digesting food. Certain food types make our minds dull and agitated. They decide to save time and conserve the energy by eating either simple, light food or totally abstaining from eating so that the mind becomes alert and pure. The mind, otherwise pre-occupied by the thought of food, now entertains noble thoughts and stays with the Lord. Since it is a self-imposed form of discipline it is usually adhered to with joy. Also every system needs a break and an overhaul to work at it’s best.

31

Rest and a change of diet during fasting is very good for the digestive system and the entire body. The more you indulge the senses, the more they make their demands. Fasting helps us to cultivate control over our senses, sublimate our desires and guide our minds to be poised and at peace. Fasting should not make us weak, irritable or create an urge to indulge later. This happens when there is no noble goal behind fasting. The Bhagavad-Gita urges us to eat appropriately - neither too less nor too much yukta -aahaara and to eat simple, pure and healthy food (a saatvik diet) even when not fasting.

10. Why do we do pradakshina (circumambulate)?

11. Why is pradakshina done only in a clockwise manner?

We cannot draw a circle without a center point. The Lord is the center, source and essence of our lives. Recognizing him as the focal point in our lives, we go about doing our daily chores. This isthe significance of pradakshina.

The reason is not as a person said, to avoid a traffic jam! As we do pradakshina, the Lord is always on our right. In India the right side symbolizes auspiciousness. So as we circumambulate the sanctum sanctorum we remind ourselves to lead an auspicious life of righteousness, with the Lord who is the indispensable source of help and strength, as our guide - the “right hand”. Indian scriptures enjoin - matrudevo bhava, pitrudevo

Also every point on the circumference of a circle is equidistant from the center. This means that wherever or whoever we may be, we are equally close to the Lord. His grace flows towards us without partiality.

bhava, acharyadevo bhava. May you consider your parents and teachers as you would the Lord. With this in mind we also do pradakshina around our parents and divine personages.After the completion of traditional worship (pooja), we customarily do pradakshina around ourselves. In this way we recognize and remember the supreme divinity within us, which alone is idolized in the form of the Lord that we worship outside.

12.Why do we regard trees and plants as sacred?The Lord, the life in us pervades all living beings, be they plants or animals. Hence, they are all regarded as sacred. Human life on earth depends on plants and trees. They give us the vital factors that make life possible on earth: food, oxygen, clothing, shelter, medicines etc.Hence, in India, we are taught to regard trees and plants as sacred. Indians scriptures tell us to plant ten trees if, for any reason we have to cut one. We are advised to use parts of trees and plants only as much as is needed for food, fuel, shelter etc. we are also urged to apologies to a plant or tree before cutting it to avoid incurring a specific sin named soona.Certain trees and plants like tulasi, peepal etc., which have tremendous beneficial qualities, are worshipped till today. It is believed that divine beings manifest as trees and plants, and many people worship them to fulfill their desires or to please the Lord.

The Palace of Mysore is a palace situated in the city of Mysore in southern India. It is the official

residence of the Wodeyars - the erstwhile royal family of Mysore, and also houses two durbar

halls (ceremonial meeting hall of the royal court). Mysore has a number of historic palaces, and

is commonly described as the City of Palaces. However, the term “Mysore Palace” specifically

refers to one within the old fort. The palace was commissioned in 1897, and its construction was

completed in 1912. It is now one of the most famous tourist attractions in Mysore.

33

Mysore Palace

The Kingdom of Mysore was ruled by the Wodeyar

dynasty from 1399 until the independence of India in

1947. The Wodeyar kings built a palace in Mysore in

the 14th century, but the Raja Wodeyar shifted his

capital to the island fort town of Sriranagapattana

in 1610 and Mysore lost its importance as a seat

of power. But this palace was partially damaged

by a lightning strike in 1638. It was repaired and

expanded by Ranadhira Kanteerava Narasa Raja

Wodeyar. With the usurpation of the Kingdom by

the Hyder in 1762 Mysore Palace further lost its

importance. But Hyder son, Tipu Sultan demolished

34

the entire fort town including the Palace in 1787 and used the fort material to build a new town near by known as Nazarabad (now part of the mysore City). Fourth Mysore war in 1799 brought an end to the reign of Tipu sultan and then Governor General of India, Lord Mornington (later Marquis Wellesley and elder brother of Arthur Wellesley - who rose to become Duke of Wellington and is famously known as Iron Duke) decided to restore part of the conquest to the ancient Hindu Royal family and shifted the capital of the newly defined territory of Mysore Kingdom to Mysore Thus the scion of the Wodeyar, then five year old, Krishna Raja Wodeyar III was crowned as the new King in 1799 in a make shift premises within the destroyed fort. In due course

the Nazrabad fort was dismantled an the material made its way back in building the Mysore fort once again. A new palace was built in its place by 1803. This palace was destroyed in a fire in 1897 during the wedding of Princess Jayalakshmanni.

The regent of Mysore, Maharani Vani Vilas Sannidhna, commissioned a British architect, Henry Irwin, to build yet another palace in its place. The construction was completed in year 1912. But slowly the beautification of the fort was also taken up and the inhabitants of the fort were slowly shifted out to newer extension built outside. The present Public Durbar Hall wing was also added much later around 1940. Now Its a Good Tourists attraction in South India.

35

Architecture

Attractions

The architectural style of the palace is commonly described as Indo-Saracenic, and blends together Hindu, Muslim, Rajput, and Gothic styles of architecture. It is a three-storied stone structure, with marble domes and a 145 ft five-storied tower. The palace is surrounded by a large garden. The three storied stone building of fine gray

granite with deep pink marble domes was designed by Henry Irwin. The facade has seven expansive arches and two smaller ones flanking the central arch, which is supported by tall pillars.Above the central arch is an impressive sculpture of Gajalakshmi, the goddess of wealth, prosperity, good luck, and abundance with her elephants.

The Palace houses several rooms of importance. These include:• Audience Chamber: This was Hall of Private Audience, where the king would confer with his ministers. It was also the chamber in which he gave audience to people deserving special attention.• Public Durbar: The Diwan-e-aam was a public hall where the general population could meet the king at prescribed times with petitions. • Royal wedding hall• Armory: The palace houses an armory, which contains a collection of different types of arms used by the members of the royal family. These include weapons that were used in the 14th century (lances, cutlasses, etc), as well as weapons that were used in the early twentieth century (pistols, etc).

Fatehpur SikriSikri an extension of the upper Vindhyan ranges is situated on the bank of a large natural lake, which has now mostly dried up. It is a pre-historic site and, with abundant water, forest and raw material, it was ideal for primitive man’s habitation. Rock shelters with paintings exist on the periphery of the lake. Stone age tools have been found in this area. Ochre Coloured Pottery (c. 2nd millennium B.C.) and Painted Grey Ware (c.1200-800 B.C.) have also been discovered from here.

Akbar had inherited the Mughal Empire from his father Humayun and grandfather Babur. During the 1560’s he rebuilt the Agra Fort and established it as his capital. He had a son and then twins, but the twins died. He then consulted Salim Chishti the sufi saint who lived as a recluse in the small town Sikri near Agra. Salim predicted that Akbar would have another son, and indeed one was born in 1569 in Sikri.

He was named Salim to honor the saint and would later rule the empire as Emperor Jahangir. The following year, Akbar then 28 years old, determined to build a palace and royal city in Sikri, to honor Salim Chishti. The name, Fateh is Arabic in origin and means “Victory”, also in Urdu and Persian language. It is at Fatehpur Sikri that the legends of Akbar and his famed courtiers, the nine jewels or Navaratnas, were born. Tansen is said to have performed on an island in the middle of the pool Anup Talao.

According to contemporary historians, Akbar took a great interest in the building of Fatehpur Sikri and probably also dictated its architectural style. Seeking to revive the splendours of Persian court ceremonial made famous by his ancestor Timur, Akbar planned the complex on Persian principles.But the influences of his adopted land came through in the typically Indian embellishments. The Easy availability of sandstone in the

39

neighbouring areas of Fatehpur Sikri, also meant that all the buildings here were made of the red stone. The Imperial Palace complex consists of a number of independent pavilions arranged in formal geometry on a piece of level ground, a pattern derived from arab and central asian tent encampments. In its entirety, the monuments at Fatehpur Sikri thus reflect the genius of Akbar in assimilating diverse regional architectural influences within a holistic style that was uniquely his own.

BCCI fl exing its muscles yet again..The Umpire Decision Review System (widely known as UDRS) is a latest technology based system currently being used on an experimental basis in the wide world of cricket sport. Currently, the system is being used only in Test Cricket for the sole purpose of reviewing the controversial decisions made by the on field umpires in the case of a batsman being dismissed or not. The new review system was officially launched by International Cricket Council (ICC) on 24 November 2009 during the first test match between Pakistan and New Zealand at the University Oval in Dunedin.

System Rules:

Each team is given two challenges per innings. A fielding team may use the system to dispute a “not out” call and a batting team may do so to dispute an “out” call. The fielding team captain or the batsman being dismissed invokes the challenge by signaling a “T” with the arms. Once the challenge is invoked, acknowledged, and agreed, the Third Umpire reviews the play.

Once the challenge is invoked, acknowledged, and agreed, the Third Umpire reviews the play.

Will BCCI allow to use UDRS for World Cup?

BCCI is reluctant to use the technology on the grounds of it not being foolproof. The ICC had decided to use the UDRS for the World Cup next year, which will be played in the Indian sub-continent. Already, there are rumours that the BCCI will use their influence to avoid the usage of the system for the tournament, despite it being an ICC event. The Indian captain, MS Dhoni had

also vehemently opposed the UDRS, whereas Sachin Tendulkar had said that unless the Hot-Spot technology was used, the side was apprehensive of the system. Tendulkar believes technology is the way to go in cricket but perhaps there is still room for the umpire to make the decision on lbw decisions. However, he does believe the incorporation of the Hot Spot will

45

BCCI fl exing its muscles yet again..improve bat pad decisions. The ICC has maintained that studies have proved the system increases the percentage of correct decision-making from 92% to around 97%.

People are right to question technology - Ian Taylor, CEO of Virtual Eye

The man behind the technology of the Umpire Decision Review System (UDRS), soon to be used for the first time in an Ashes series, believes that players and umpires need to spend time coordinating together- both understanding and questioning its workings so that the system’s functionality can be improved and efficiency increased. Taylor said, “The people whom the technology will impact through the UDRS could well be those who will give us feedback that can surprise us. They could tell us to take into account factors we may not even have thought of. This is one way to move forward”. He said Virtual Eye hoped to bring in the umpires to have a look at the Ball Tracker. “We would love to see people open to the technology”, Taylor said, adding that technology would never replace the role of the umpire. “We want to work with the umpires”.

India in South Africa 2010-11:

The ICC has directed the Indian and South African boards to come to a decision on the use of the Umpire Decision Review System (UDRS) for the upcoming Test series between the teams. Cricket South Africa (CSA) had expressed its interest in using the system for India’s tour which begins on December 16, but it will have to persuade the BCCI. The BCCI has already ruled out the UDRS for the upcoming home Tests against New Zealand.

They had earlier refused the use of referrals for the recently-concluded series against Australia despite the availability of the requisite technology. South Africa have used the UDRS three times in their last four Test series - against Australia and England at home in 2009, and in the West Indies in June. The exception was when they toured India earlier this year for a two-Test series.

Delhi promised,

Delhi deliveredDelhi promised to deliver world class Games and Delhi delivered, there was nothing better to showcase the success of the XIX Commonwealth Games than a grand Closing Ceremony.

Pyros took off from the roof of the stadium giving a delightful sight as countdown in the Devanagri script opened up the proceedings with the crowd roaring from the stands.There was much excitement and euphoria in store when a tribute was paid to the India’s sporting spirit, aptly titled Agni -- a segment that featured the fiery and passionate tradition of the country’s martial arts.Chants of Agni shloka preceded eight martial art forms -- Kalaripayattu, Naga Warriors, Thangta, Gatka, Silambam, Akhara, Dhan Patta, Talwar Raas -- that enthralled the audience as skies lit up with dazzling fireworks.

For India, it’s a new beginning in sports,” he said.

The ceremonial Flag handover segment began with Delhi Chief Minister Mrs. Sheila Dikshit saying, “In a few moments, the ceremonial Flag will be entrusted to your care so that in due time you deliver it to Glasgow.” Official representative of the 2014 host city, Robert Winter, who is the Lord Provost of Glasgow, said, “This duty I willingly undertake to fulfil,” as the Games flag was lowered with an Army band in the background.

Fourteen military bands, 17 pipes and drums of various regiments and battalions of the Indian Army performed in unison as pigeons were set free.

The performers began with a lone piper as the spotlight soon shifted to a giant structure that inflated and the Clyde Arc Bridge with the Armadillo and River Clyde flowing underneath was created, leaving all mesmerised.

It was a fitting tribute to the spirit of Delhi which overcame all pre-Games challenges and showcased that India has truly delivered it’s promise.

The Rainbow of Anya and Shaya

A long time ago when the earth was young, Anya the daughter of sunshine, and Shaya the son of rain, were the best of friends. They were very different but both children of nature whose spirits soared together in the soft growing new world.

Anya was fair and luminous with light. She had long golden hair and a sunny aura of happiness. Shaya was as dark and wild as a storm cloud. He could be loud like thunder or soft and steady as spring rain. Shaya’s cloudy nature would shade Anya’s sunshine and together they made a perfect place of peace.

The children of sunshine and rain were known to all of nature’s elements: earth, air, fire, and water. They were born into earth’s nurturing embrace and feasted on her fertile harvests.

Sunshine and rain thought their children would grow to accept this separation but it was not to be. In the kingdom of the clouds, Shaya wept rain for weeks on end until his grief flooded the ground below. Anya’s light dimmed and her sadness sent shadow over the land. The elements converged to help these special friends. While it was not possible to change Anya and Shaya’s place in

During the time of creation, their days were filled with lovely adventures. Anya and Shaya ran through fragrant fields of flowers newly grown by the earth. They ate sweet plums, drank cool water, and held their faces up to the warm light from the shinning sun. Shaya would ride on top of trees as they pushed their way up through the soil, while Anya chased falling leaves which were whirled about by the wind. They swam in the salty blue sea and dived deep into its depths. Shaya dreamed with dolphins and Anya strung necklaces of star fish and sea shells. They lay side by side on the shore of the water; gazing up into the sky and watching young birds learning to fly.

Air breathed life into the world and blew away their troubles, while water cleansed and purified all around them.

Fire was the fiercest of the elements with the ability to both create and end life. Anya and Shaya were afraid of fire and thankful that it didn’t often visit the land. Instead, it stayed in the middle of the earth where it burned and blazed in its center Time passed and finally the world was formed. The land was fruitful, the waters were full, and the sky was clear. Earth gave birth to mankind, who took his rightful place, and it became time for Anya and Shaya to join the elements from which they came. Anya was to become one with the shining light, while Shaya had to take his place among the clouds. When the day came and they needed to part, Anya’s bright beauty embraced Shaya’s stormy spirit. They clung to each other with such sadness that even the air’s strongest wind could not carry it away. The Earth tried to comfort them and water wash away their grief but nothing could give them solace. It was only the threat of fire which finally divided them.

The Rainbow of Anya and Shaya

nature, sunlight and rain could be allowed to meet for many magical moments. Shaya’s raindrops and Anya sunshine came together and their joy at being reunited created a burst of colors which arched through the sky for all to see. Their union came to be called a rainbow. Today those who catch sight of a rainbow wonder at its beauty and feel the happiness of Anya and Shaya, who are with each other once again.
