"My inner peace
Does not select anybody,

Always self-givingly projects itself". - Sri Chinmoy

And through this process I am learning how challenging is it to get the expressions conveyed just with eyes, perhaps an expression needs more than just eyes! However here is a start, hope you readers like it!...
