Bahai Service

The friends gathered at the Unitarian Church of Lubbock-TX to participate in a Unity Feast by the Bahais of Lubbock. It was a program to share with friends of the Faith, certain aspects of Bahai worship, to share some principles and Teachings as well.
The program was simple, well organized and fun. There was a brief introduction of the Faith that included History, Teachings and Present conditions of the Bahai friends in Iran. That was follwed by a Devotional program that consisted of reading Holy Writings interspaced by chants, and music performance. After an audience participation in song to close the devotionals, it was time for socializing. The camaraderie was great. It was a nice and wonderful program.

The Light Combo

September 9. 06
The evening was warm, the backyard was green and tidy, and the crowd was vibrant.
It was an evening of joy and merriment. We had gathered to celebrate the pre-release of the CD "Village Nights" by The Light Combo. The band played orginal songs and a good number of cover songs. The crowd danced, they associated with each other and feast on outdoor meals from burgers to potato salad; from soda to ice water.

It was such a blessing to play with my band mates Darrel and Mark after a long time due to my travels. The CD is ready. I cannot wait to start sharing the inspirational songs with the World.

Traveller as Usual


I spent two weeks in Fayetteville-AR, visiting Ashu in the company of his mother and nephew. It was one of those periods I considered highly creative.
I was able to rewrite and finish the manuscript of a short novel I was working on. The creative juices were flowing so much so that I have started working on another story which will be in the form of a social commentary. Looking forward on how it will turn out. I still have beaucoups of research to do though, but the momentum is there.

Now I am in Oklahoma getting ready for my band The Light Combo to play at a gathering of our friends and fans come Sept. 9. 06. Its going to be fun. That is when we will showcase the release of our live CD 'Village Nights'. A show we did for an Arts N.G.O sometimes back.

From then, I head on to Lubbock Texas for an event and the life of travelling continues.
Raise your hats and pray for your dreams--- You never know They might Come True.
