Put MY hand on my ear, three or four times, say BABA...BABA… …..BABA…. .BABA…...BABA…In my old house only burning kerosene lamps. Who was made by mom. I mean all the facilities weren't. Yet my father was always happy.Some days I took a rest. I met friends in the village. Walk in all the streets of my village. My father did use words of welcome when he met anyone like Hindu, they said, Jai Rama. With Muslim people As Salamo Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barkatahu. As I was used forever. In my village, there were hated people, arrogant people, jealous, adult boys who were naughty, hooligans, and romantic.But don't problems don't disturb anyone, they know that the government gives the same power to the poor or rich.And the most important thing from grandfather to grandfather is to live and die. Forefathers is an introduction. They can solve their problems.Everyone has a citizenship. They have the same rights. If there are any problems.Dad's advice I didn't accept. Because I want to see many people in different places. It is my most favorite hobby. Such as, London, Hong Kong, UAE, New York, Katmandu, etc. I have no money but have a dream about it.At night I lost my green dream. Who makes me foolish during this time? And word out of the heart, Alas, I took birth in London. Alas, I was born in the Tata Family, either Mukesh Ambani. Alas, I took birth in an Indian leader's house.All of the above thoughts, that I am not sad in my life.How good, if I live already rich? I buy all my desired things.

Swimming with the Blowfish -...

Jim Sonefeld

The ultimate front-row seat to Hootie & the Blowfish and Jim “Soni" Sonefeld’s breathtaking path from addiction to recovery. 
 
For a time, there was no bigger band in the world than Hootie & the Blowfish—rock & roll’s unexpected foil to the grunge music that dominated the early ’90s airwaves. Jim Sonefeld, drummer and one of the group’s principal songwriters,  
reveals their humble beginnings, meteoric rise, Grammy Award–winning musicianship, sudden fall, and ultimate rebirth—and opens his heart to readers about addiction, recovery, and faith. 
 
Hootie’s debut album Cracked Rear View was one of the bestselling in the history of rock music. It saturated radio airwaves, television, and culture, and placed the quartet at the center of the American music conversation—for better and for  
worse. Though Jim enjoyed the perks that came with fame—the parties, the relationships, the money, the drugs and alcohol—eventually it all became a camouflage that hid a deeper spiritual malady. As his life careened toward  
disaster, he sought relief in twelve-step recovery, eventually devoting himself to a loving but by no means uncomplicated home life. 
 
Swimming with the Blowfish is an unpretentious, emotional story of one man’s spiritual path to a more fruitful life. Jim’s journey is staggering and redeeming, and ultimately as comforting as your favorite flannel shirt.
