My Dear Shanti,

Four years have gone by, since you left me my child.

The only way forward is to continue living in your wonderful sweet memories and moments, you left behind with me. And live each moment and each day in a calm, peaceful, equaminous state of mind till my final breath. This is the only objective now.

May you always rest in eternal bliss, peace and illumination in HIS divine care.

God Bless you my child.

Your ever loving daddy

Miss you very much my darling

My Dearest Darling Shanti,
Every moment without you is so meaningless. I miss you very much my dear. There are no words or feelings to express the emptiness. Its now three years since HIS sudden decision for us. I am sure you are in HIS divine loving care and in eternal peace, bliss and illumination.

Though extremely hard and painful to me. HE is giving me the strength to bear this separation and your loving memories of care and kindness for me, the genuine innocent smile, sweet gentle touch, your very mature and intelligent thoughts and encouragement to me, keeps me going every moment as I live on without you dear.

I talk to you and call you regularly when I am alone and down. Can you hear your loving dad dear? Miss you immensely my child.

Always your dear loving daddy.

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

2008-03-08T04:46:00.000-08:00

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

Trekking our way out!!!! ( Original article written by Shanti )

2008-01-16T03:26:00.000-08:00

Trekking our way out!!!!........Shanti M Shenoy ...."Sare Jana Se Acha Hindustan Hamara"

The general opinion of postgraduate students of U.I.C.T is that they are geeks and nothing can excite them as much as research does. But something is different when it comes to our batch, the 2008 batch of m.pharm and m.tech(B.P.T).We all do enjoy research, and work hard the whole week, but when the weekend nears, there is something that makes our heart beat race. It’s that something that makes us put in extra effort the whole week through so that, we can enjoy our weekends. That PASSION of our lives is TREKKING.

Trekking is so much fun that it’s very hard to explain, those beautiful mountains half hidden by the fog, the crystal clear streams, those gleaming rocks, that smell of the wet mud, the eye soothing greenery all around you just astounds you and touches your heart. Walking through that jungle in the rains is super cool, with waterfalls which come as the most welcoming and awaited surprises. Climbing on rocks, at times choosing the most difficult path to reach our destination what we term as “ADVAVENTURE’, thinking of which way to go by at times is fun and gives us all that adrenaline rush. The most heartwarming moment is when you reach the top of the mountain, you feel like you have reached heaven. We scream out aloud at first, then sit quietly for some time and enjoy the sound of the gushing wind. After reaching our destination we celebrate that moment by then eating our lunch. Unlike other trekkers we don’t litter around and make it a point to collect all the non degradable stuff back home, taking turns to hold it.

The most memorable trek was the trek to PRABHAL GADH where we celebrated the INDEPENDENCE DAY. One of us made the flag (me); we hoisted it at the top of the GADH and sang the national anthem with utmost pride. It was the most beautiful moment. Some of the other treks where we have had the opportunity to go are MNIKGADH, NANEGHAT, RAJMACHI, HARISHCHANDRAGADH, NATIONAL PARK etc…

Trekking has actually now become our hobby. The boys of our gang Pratik Patel,Vishal Parekh, Ninad Pandit, Mukesh Pednekar,Haresh More,Sushant Patil search for unexplored places in and around Mumbai,and find out the routes to reach there. The girls Vanita Sharma, Arundhati Lele, Disha Vithlani, Galvina Ferreira make all arrangements for food. We have PhD. students and friends from other colleges who occasionally join us. We all stay in the hostel a day prior to the trek as we leave way before dawn.

Trekking is test of physical endurance, gives you that peace of mind as it is break from your routine and away from the bustling city life that we lead. And actually it’s a much better alternative than watching a movie in a multiplex or going to a water park. Every trek has its own story to tell and beautiful memories that we shall cherish all our lives. What make our treks even more memorable are those beautiful 20 minute movies that our classmate Vishal Parekh has developed an expertise at making for us.

Life is too short, and do not want to let it go just like that. As all of us have a common passion and love for nature and animals, we have decided to “Trek our way out” through our masters…see as much as we can manage in our free time to explore the unexplored and the forgotten mountain ranges, cliffs, forts of Maharashtra……….that’s the least we can do till we are together.

Our Dear Shanti…..

HE blessed us with her

She filled our life with joy, happiness, prosperity

We were very proud to be her parents

She was very mature, kind hearted, intelligent

She touched many lives and made them happy and joyful

She enjoyed her life

HE decided

HE wants her back in HIS care, for a higher role

All of us are free to make a choice about what we believe

Every choice we will make has consequences

Death is a transition

Afterlife is a reality

And it will exist whether we choose to believe in it or not

It does not matter what we believe in

Only truth shall prevail

Only HE knows

HE is the truth
