If its my way then its High way ......
Its such a great feeling to be just you, deserted road ahead of you because you have chosen the less traveled path, mile stones all along the way reminding that the destination never ends, unexpected shower drenching you to core making you feel the chillness, scorching sunlight burning you down reminding that we are just helpless in front of nature, occasional cool breeze bringing the joy within you when you have offered less resistance to it and on and on.
Life teaches you so much when you are on highway, its like reading those spiritual holy books :) which assures you to teach on how to live. But here the results are always guaranteed.
If i am given an option to choose my way then its always the HIGHWAY.
My new blog for my new found love :)

My love for Bharathi ....
I am kind of moved by his poems. He is kind of person whom you can't categorize into one particular segment and who has lived life to the fullest. His words are so powerful and thought provoking.There lies no subject untouched and every situations we encounter in our life. His poems are like a life guide to anyone and i always wonder how can he write on so many subjects when he has hardly lived for just 38 years. But when you read his poems, his words are of a person who has lived for more than a century.
This lines are one of my favorites.
அச்சமில்லை அச்சமில்லை (பண்டாரப் பாட்டு)
அச்சமில்லை அச்சமில்லை அச்சமென்பதில்லையே
இச்சகத்துளோர் எல்லாம் எதிர்த்து நின்ற போதிலும்
அச்சமில்லை அச்சமில்லை அச்சமென்பதில்லையே
துச்சமாக எண்ணி நம்மைத் தூறு செய்த போதிலும்
அச்சமில்லை அச்சமில்லை அச்சமென்பதில்லையே
பிச்சை வாங்கி உண்ணும் வாழ்க்கை பெற்று விட்ட போதிலும்
அச்சமில்லை அச்சமில்லை அச்சமென்பதில்லையே
இச்சை கொண்ட பொருளெலாம் இழந்துவிட்ட போதிலும்
அச்சமில்லை அச்சமில்லை அச்சமென்பதில்லையே
கச்சணிந்த கொங்கை மாந்தர் கண்கள் வீசும் போதிலும்
அச்சமில்லை அச்சமில்லை அச்சமென்பதில்லையே
நச்சை வாயிலே கொணர்ந்து நண்பரூட்டும் போதிலும்
அச்சமில்லை அச்சமில்லை அச்சமென்பதில்லையே
பச்சை யூனியைந்த வேற்படைகள் வந்த போதிலும்
அச்சமில்லை அச்சமில்லை அச்சமென்பதில்லையே
உச்சி மீது வானிடிந்து வீழூகின்ற போதிலும்
அச்சமில்லை அச்சமில்லை அச்சமென்பதில்லையே

Feel like GOD ....
The new toy is finally in my hands for almost a week and its such a great feeling to see my odometer churning to 500. Its kind of celebrating first month birthday of a new born baby :).

I used to think how is it possible to feel what the other person have felt, that too how god feels like. But there lies no logic in lot of things in life. Even you will see that there exists no logic when i narrate the story of how i ended up buying this bike.
It was exactly two weeks back that i decided to take my parents out for a short trip as it was their anniversary. As usual i went onto to google to check out some nearby places which we can cover in a day. I came across this place called as "Male Madeshwara hills (MM Hills)".
And when my near and dear ones asked "Why and Who told you to buy this bike all of a sudden ?", i replied them that it was Lord Shiva who wanted me to get this bike :) and no more questions followed after that. I was even very much surprised that there was hardly any resistance from anyone in getting this bike and i was kind of convinced by those cosmic law which i read long back which states "When you really aspire to get something then the whole universe will conspire itself in making it happen for you".
I kind of enjoying the ride in my new cruiser which is much more pleasurable then cruising in my car. May be you feel more connected with nature when you are on bike because you are one with the wind, sun shine and rain. May be this feeling of merging yourself with the nature is what they might have referred as "Feel like GOD".

New baby in the womb
As usual my family members got annoyed of my actions and lot of questions followed
"What is this ?"
"Why do you need this board for ?"
"What was the hurry in getting it installed within few hours?"
"Why do you want to spend so much on this useless board?"
I just uttered the first thing that came in my mind , "Its a life board".
No one was satisfied with my answer which i could very well see from their eyes. Then i started thinking of what i had said. I tried to convince them by saying that this board serves as a multipurpose board. I started listing out the advantages of it to justify my act.
It can be used as a
- remainder board by pinning the bills to be paid ( which i never pay on time )
- goal setting tool ( need to first set a goal to set my goal )
- photo album
- tool kit ( I used to pin my nail cutter, cork opener, scissors, knife, chain , etc ...)
- complaint board (My cousin used to write his letters about things which he can't express on face & pin it)
- board to pin all those role models whom we like to imitate.
- etc , etc ..... the list goes on and on.
Its is really a LIFE board, because there is so much in common between the board and our life.
- Both are limitless , its all up to us how creatively we can make it to look good or bad.
- There is always a space to fit anything in it, only thing we need to know is how to adjust the old ones to fit in new one.
- It always stands still and watches you, its up to you to conclude whether its happy or sad.
- Its good to see and recall those happier moments when you are emotionally down, which gives a hope that the night will soon be over and sun will shine bright again shortly.
- It helps you as a guide in reminding you quite often when you are distracted and off track.
- You can't have a better friend than this, because it stands by you at all times and listens to you. Only we need to learn is the art of conversing with it.
- Start loving it and it will never let you feel bored again.
- etc ... etc ..
The interesting thing was that it kind of turned to be a new attraction in my home. Every visitor was invited to see my new board and no one ever left without appreciating it :). Sorry i had not even taken a picture of it when it was there fully blown.
And today as i was sipping my coffee gazing at the LIFE board i visualized a completely blank board in front of me, and all that i created and decorated for the last few months was destroyed in no time.
My parents were annoyed and unhappy when they saw the empty board in my room. They asked me "whats the use of decorating it so brilliantly if all you wanted is to destroy it ?".
I stood silently gazing at the empty life board because i had no answer.
Then as they walked out of my room, the life board whispered slowly in my ears "There is a new baby in the womb".

Right time to say "I Love you"
Its quite interesting that there are few subjects which are difficult to understand since it formulates into totally new dimensions when heard the same from different people. I am sure that every one agrees with me when i say one of those complex word is "LOVE".Monday, January 4, 2010
Signs ...
There are so many things in life for which there doesn't exits any explanation, they cannot be shelfed and brought under a particular logic pattern. You just act without any self reasoning, its one of those times where in the ever active mind takes the back seat and dissipates into thin air.Monday, December 21, 2009

The burning curtain
It’s very difficult to reason out everything in life, there are so many things that does not confine within the boundaries of logic and reasoning’s. This is kind of strange what I am going to mention, every time I have high fever I am accompanied by a dream and the strangest part of it is that I get the same dream every time. As we have an indicator for everything around us, do does I have a biological indicator within me. Every time I get this dream and woke up it is that the temperature is high and it’s about to reside.
We used to live in a very small house during our childhood but it’s one of the beautiful homes I have ever lived. There used to be a loft running along the living room, the only room. My mom used to cover this loft esthetically with cleanly stitched frilled curtains from her old sarees and it used to look so beautiful and also there exists a lane of elephants painted to the front rim of the loft.
Every time when I used to have fever I used to dream about this curtain on fire and the climax would be me screaming that the curtains are getting charred with fire and wake up. I can detail out each and every thing in that dream because I have been dreaming the same one from last 25 years or more but as things change so thus this dream. I am just writing this one waking up from my fresh dream having high fever J , kind of crazy isn’t.
My mom is scolding me as I am writing this post, what the hell iam doing at 3am with fever and typing a useless post rather than having rest. But I want to cherish each and every details of my new dream. I don’t know whether it’s a boon or bane but I can remember my dreams very clearly with minute details. I took all the pain in writing this since it’s such a pleasure to put down things when they are very fresh and later on the heat is lost. I can feel the heat in my eyes as I write down these lines.
I wake up from my dream sweating heavily just few minutes back and it took few minutes to realize that it’s just a dream. In my new dream J I was chased and bitten everywhere by this huge black Doberman dog. This dog was the one that used to live in our neighborhood J in my childhood and it had hardly spared anyone in our street and was finally made to rest by its owner when he was attacked. I was fighting helplessly with the dog and somehow end up myself in a grave yard. The next scene in my dream is me eating the meat which is completely blunt and half cooked. It was kind of salty and I was not enjoying it. I was also accompanied with few others who are total strangers to me but serving me with fresh pieces of human meat. And when I try to have big bite my tooth broke and I cry out in pain that’s when I woke up and came out of my dream world. It took me few minutes to realize that it’s just a dreamJ.
I narrated my dream to my mom and she was taken back and emptied the room to fetch some more hot water whispering to herself “Amma Kadavala (oh GOD)”.

Galbaski
There are very few days in our life where in whatever we do turns out to be gold, we find results in all the things we do. Most of the things in our ever pending list gets resolved so soothingly and makes you believe that we should always act on our intuitions.Yesterday was one of those countable days where in all my actions were driven by just intuition and the results were very convincing in all the ways. After finishing most of my works i felt i should watch a play today. It was already a couple of months that I had visited Ranga shankara, but it was already 7pm and the play starts at 7.15pm. I thought i should some how make it today. I rushed myself and just managed to squeeze between the closing gates.
"Galbaski" , yes thats the name of the plays name. I have never heard about it earlier, I was even not sure which language the play is until it started.
Sometimes these incidents in your life makes you realize that we should look out and start reading these signs which confronts you very often, may be thats what even Paulo coelho mentioned in his writings.
I was glad that I made it for such a wonderful, thought provoking play. It was really worth for the strain and effort I took in getting there for the play. The play revolves around the life of a prostitute and the way society uses her. The highlight of the play is the character "Mirror". The author is very talented in letting out his message through a common mirror. Everyone likes to see themselves in the mirror but what we see in mirror is not what exactly we are, but the mask we carry upon us.
The play was very well scripted and the Hindustani alap rendered by a young singer was so soothing that most of the time I was watching him singing rather than play. His voice had so much power that, even though it was in the backdrop it was highlighted.
Details:
Play: Galbaski
Playwright: Coffee Raghavendra
Director: KSDL Chandru
Troupe: Roopantara, Bengaluru
I just remembered a Zen meditation which talks about healing powers of mirror. It says if we stand naked in front of the mirror every day for few minutes then we get cleansed naturally without any effort because there is so much power in nakedness and its difficult to watch complete nakedness.
Below is one of my experiments with nakedness.

Besuge- The bonding ...
You always feel good if someone you know make it big. Yes yesterday was one of those moments when two of my friends came up with a musical album of their own. Even though I was an uninvited guest at the occasion I really enjoyed a lot seeing their dreams come true. I know how much effort and sacrifices they did to get where they are now.
It’s really inspiring to see them doing something on their own and releasing to the world. It’s almost year and a half that I know Arun & Surya, the very meeting with them made me feel that they are really interested in music to the core. They keep proving my assumptions right by constantly doing some or the other thing in the field they have chosen.
Finally they have reached a milestone which is their start into a real fascinating & competitive journey. I am sure they will reach very great heights by their talent & unshaken discipline. I wish them a bright & joyful success for all their future projects.

Anish wedding @ Gods Own Country
I always wondered why is that many term Kerala alone as "GODS OWN COUNTRY" , as if other places are created by some devils :). But was kind of satisfied with their claims after this tour.
Every one desires to have a final boarding pass to Heaven, which is said to be place only for the blessed ones where the greenery exists as far you eye, where the rivers are flooded with wine , fed with delectable food served by beautiful women.
There ends the similarities of Kerala with heaven :).
Once again wishing Anish a happy & prosperous married life. And a special thanks to Ajish & Ashish for such a lovely hospitality.
