Today I was at Bala’s and Dr Maha’s open house. At both places, opportunity arose to meet up with old friends and make new ones. I have always loved the mingling of people from different cultures and religions, celebrating as humans. And the food, of course, especially if you have a sweet tooth like me!
Picture paints a thousand words.
The first photo is Bala. Looking serious as always but in reality a charming gentleman. Then comes Sanjeevan his son and his wife in the background.
The third photo shows Sharmila, Bala's daughter who is also the fastest "sms person" in this part of the world. Er...you can see she is busy at it again!After Bala,s house, I was off to Maha's, who is also my dentist (ouch!). That's him looking like an Indian Maharaja in the photo!
Bala and Maha - thank you for the invite. May God bless you both and your families always.
All these Raya, Chinese new year, Deepavali and Christmas open houses always reminds me of the verse from the Quran which says:
“O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know each other (not that you may despise (each other). Indeed the most honoured of you in the sight of God is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And God has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things). (Quran: chapter 49 verse 13’)

Indeed. Malaysia is blessed. We have various cultures, religions, languages, customs and so on. We are able to live together in peace and harmony. When we go to the playground, we feel that the whole of Asia is represented in our kids there. All is fine...then come along the politicians, the extremists and the priests who try to spoil our paradise on earth in order to "save our souls" and for their own power.
