Your loving daddy

I miss you very very very very very much dear Shanti

This day 24 years ago - You were the most sensational event that ever happened in my life

No words to express the happiness, joy, love, wonderful moments you brought to me

Now you are resting in HIS supreme care and in eternal bliss & peace

With your transistion every moment is a such a meaningless stretch!

How to live on with so much emptiness & anguish?

What do I do dear ? I have no clue. Living on those wonderful memories you left for me.

Yours ever loving.

Daddy

We are blessed and proud to be dear Shanti's parents

law 1. energy can be neither be created nor destroyed
essence: continuity of existence
implication: afterlife, is a reality

law 2. every action has an equal and opposite reaction

essence: reciprocity of actions

implication: good, gets good and so bad, will get bad

these two universal laws can be used to derive logical interpretations that a person who leads a life of being kind, caring, sharing, forgiving and with honesty, integrity, purity in thoughts words and deeds is entitled to bliss, peace, divinity in this life and also in the afterlife.

our observations and experiences with our dear Shanti results into our inference that she qualifies and is entitled to be in HIS care, be blissful, peaceful, divine in her afterlife. this brings us immense peace which is essential for us to live on with dear Shanti’s memories till our last breath. we are very proud to be her parents.
our sun is the only star in our solar system, and our earth is one place where intelligent form of life ( human beings ) is exisiting ( based on mankind's current knowledge and capability ).
in our milkyway it is estimated that there are ~400 billion stars.
it is also estimated that there are ~300 billion galaxies in our universe
it is estimated that our universe is part of the multiverse ( many universes )

so probability of intelligent life exisiting in this universe and the multiverse is significantly high.

a higher plane for afterlife can be avaliable in any suitable place and in any of these solar systems, galaxies or part of the multiverse.....so the age old belief that for intelligent life like humans, afterlife will be only born on this earth again, may not be 100% accurate and true.

mankind always looks up and points towards the endless sky above our heads when we talk of heaven. there will probably be many many many wonderful paradises or "heaven" ...up there in the universe with much higher intelligence and varied and diverse forms of begnin highly evolved intelligent life will be existing and is not known to mankind in our current knowledge and capability.

we humans are very limited by our five senses and our mind and our physical form and all our accquired knowledge and experiences are through our gadgets and instruments based on our technical and scientific knowledge.

the driving force within us and the living beings is demeed to be an eternal and ever exisiting form of energy and an infinitesimal part of the great creator with HIS qualities. this driving force cannot be detected , studied or understood using current human developed hardware and software.

with our very limited knowledge and experience of life, nature, universe and reality, we, dear Shanti's parents feel that only best way forward is to accept HIS verdict and make a sincere effort to live in peace till our last breath with the wonderful sweet memories our darling Shanti has left with us.

we are dear shanti's very proud parents

Taking ‘shell’ter in this friendship
Friendship - day special -by Mamta Poojary. Borivli, DNA Mumbai, Sunday, August 6, 2006

Borivli resident Shanti Shenoy rescued a turtle nine years ago; since then, the animal has been her best friend and confidante:

Dogs have traditionally been considered man's best friend, but ever imagined a turtle would take on the role? Shanti Shenoy, a 22-yearold Pharmacy student from UICT college in Mumbai shares a special bond with her reptilian friend.

An animal lover, Shanti found the turtle way back in 1998. She says, “I spotted the turtle struggling on a river bank and decided to bring him home, as he needed to be nursed.” She adds, “This is when my unusual relationship began with my turtle, which I fondly named Baby.” The aspiring pharmacist points out that reptiles are not known to be reciprocative creatures, but insists that Baby understands all her gestures. “After living with us for nine years, Baby has cultivated several human habits. For instance, Baby makes it a point to answer nature's call only in the bathroom and not in any other part of the house.” Little instances like these have brought Shanti to believe that turtles learn a lot through observation.

Shanti admits that she is always amazed at the ease with which she communicates with Baby, “My turtle gives me company by snuggling on my feet when I work on the computer till late in the night. Each time I come back home, Baby comes crawling to me.” Shanti even claims that she shares her deepest secrets with the turtle and Baby patiently looks at her, as though he understands every word. “I never knew a turtle could bring someone so much happiness,” she confesses.

The young girl makes it a point to celebrate August 26, every year, as Baby's birthday, as that was the day the turtle was brought home for the first time. Shanti shares that apart from being the best of friends, she and Baby almost share a mother-child relationship. “I have so many memories associated with Baby — I remember the first time he yawned, the first time he slept in a different position, the first time he tried to get my attention by crawling over my books while I was studying…I won’t trade those moments for anything I have shared with my human friends,” she concludes.

Our Love Story - Our Dear Shanti - Our Darling Angel

You are the most wonderful moments of our life
You are the most beautiful season of our life

Where do we begin
To tell the story of how great a love can be
The sweet love story that is older than the sea
The simple truth about the love she brings to us
Where do we start

With her first cry and hello
She gave new meaning to this empty world of ours
There’ll never be another love, another time
She came into our life and made the living fine
She fills our heart

She fills our heart with very special memories
With angels songs, with wild imaginings
She fills our soul with so much love
That everywhere we go we are never lonely
With you our true love, who could be lonely
We reach for her – she’s always there

How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
We have no answers now but this much we can say
We know we will need her till the stars all burn away
And she will be always there for us


Dear Shanti's loving parents
