A Homecoming.

Home is a place ,which extends warmth and comfort.To me my home is my first love. I love my lovely home more than my biological mother.Every nook and corner, every space in it understands me, consoles me , appreciates me ,celebrates joy with me and mourns grief with me.

A few days away from my home, makes me yearn, drives me mad, and the feeling of get away persists me to return as quick as possible.

My living room is my reading place, where I curl in my sofa,and spend time devouring books and magazines, with soft music in the background.

My dining place . is my special spot where I revel in delicacies and hot tea.

My kitchen , the cute little thing, is a platform to experiment my culinary skills. I enjoy doing simple cooking for a few hours.

My office , is where my computer is. It iis more of a friend to me, and through it I contact the outside world, I write articles. I read the daily stock market , and it is also my investing technician.

The veranda , a long one , is my gazing area. Hours are spent with simple empty watching. The traffic outside my house, keeps me engaged for some time. The cars, autos, and buses, are a distraction to me and I unnecessarily worry about the people plying up and down.

My bed room is the most beautiful place on earth. Once I enter , I lose myself. I just fall on my cosy bed, and soon slumber embraces me. My tired body and exhausted mind .find a healer in it, a refresher in its shores.

The bath makes me most eloquent. I sing out my soul, I talk aloud as if I am an orator. My latent talent gets a vent in this arena.

The garden is the best outlet for my feelings, The dangling flowers, the well mowed lawn, the huge trees, and the twittering of birds, lull me to great sublimity.

My return, to my abode, nourishes me back to welfare,and nurtures my house back to grace.

Home , My sweet home. .

Mother to me.

A Dream

The dream is not to own a crown but be a King.

This is not a dream but a vision of most.

If everyone aspires to be a King, then who will be subjects?

If everyone wants to boss over, then who will work?

If everyone wishes authority , then who will obey?

If everyone loves power , then who will serve?

If everyone hopes to speak, then who will listen?

If everyone likes to run, then who will walk?

If everyone thinks great, then who will feel modest?

If everyone sings praise, then who will talk truth?

If everyone gets success , then who will perform?

Only one can be a King!!!

A Typical Sunday.

The weekend brings respite and relaxation. Sundays are most welcome by the office goers and school children.

Sundays beckon lethargy and laziness. Getting up from bed at no specific time, having breakfast as you wish, spending hours watching favourite T.V programmes, bathing without hurry, dressing up the way you want and moving about as you like ,are the blessings of this particular day of the week .

A break from the routine, is much awaited . It very much rejuvenates the spirit and body.

Hurried translations impede the rhythm of the muscles and palpitate the equanimity of the mind.

The slow procedure followed on Sundays act as a health spa which reinvigorates the mental set up and physical framework.

Spas act as a stimulus , by providing a comprehensive programme that includes physical fitness activities, wellness education, healthful cuisine and special interest convention.

Sunday can hold such a formula. We can design it according to our fancy. A long walk in the morning would tone up our physic. A special breakfast , say a traditional one , not the regular cereals and bread, would tickle our tongue. A hot cup of tea ,would activate our brain. Then lying down , over a couch, listening to music would kindle the fineness in us. A short nap in the afternoon ,after a heavy lunch pampered with hot soup, platter of vegetables, and dessert would fulfill the much missed delicacy.,all through the week.

Devoting the pleasant evening , by doing some regular shopping , such as buying vegetables and grocery for the week would lessen the burden .Gazing at the dark sky , with the twinkling stars moving in random. and sharing thoughts with the dear ones would add resplendent charm to the still night.

The typical Sunday draws to a close. Good night.

I have to get prepared for the week’s sojourn.

Merry Christmas

The birth of Jesus is celebrated as Christmas, since the thirteenth century.

The incarnation of God and redeemer of human race, Jesus of Nazareth is the central figure of Christianity.

He was born to retrieve the world from sin, perfidy and greed.

Jesus was a heroic mighty man capable of performing miracles and he had a penchant for the poor and women.

A similar birth is the need of the hour , to resurrect the world from suffering, pain , and treachery.

Let us wish for a divine apparition to save us from political uncertainty, economic turbulence and behavioural turmoil.

Let us hope for an assured deliverance of good, cheer , gaiety and prosperity in the year 2009.

Merry Christmas and a Happy new year.

Rivers Of India

Yore

Rivers infused faith,

Rivers professed sanctity,

Rivers prompted worship,

Rivers symbolised purity,

Now,

Rivers emante odour,

Rivers exhibit contamination

Rivers reveal impurity.

Still,

Rivers aid mortals,

But

Man thwarts River .

Trees in a Garden

Lovely trees in a garden,

reveal a sensuous delight

Huge trees in a garden,

project a shady canopy.

Fruit trees in a garden,

provide a grand feed.

Leafy trees in the garden,

present a greenish hue.

Flowery trees in the garden,

Portray a pictorial galore.

Cluster of trees in a garden,

propel surplus downpour.

Vibrancy of trees in a garden.

intensifies celestial sublimity.

Make others happy

A day begins with the rising sun.

The dawn brings cheer and liveliness.

As it advances, it proceeds to work, and the dusk brings rest and retirement.

As the sunrise, we have to radiate happiness around us.

We have to start the day with a smile, greet the fellow humans with grace, be it a milk vendor, newspaper boy, the gardener, and your neighbour.

This little gesture adds life and good sense

While at work, be pleasant to superiors, and be kind to sub ordinates.

Show extreme attention to the customers, take care of their problems,and give a positive reply to their enquiries.

Back at home, converse cordially with spouse, extend affection to children,and spend time with them ,throwing out work burden, and other pursuits.

These tiny acts and good turns will bear a refreshing exuberance .

Happiness eludes materialism and emotional possession. To attain it we should extinguish craving and aversion.

Strive to spread happiness.It is an exclusive quality of life.

Strange are the ways.

Strange are the ways of men.

Still stranger are the ways of God.

God is watching from above. The wrongdoers will be punished . The good will be rewarded.

This is what the Holy Bible says. This is how Bhagavad Gits interprets. This is the exact portfolio of the Koran.

Right. If God is omnipresent, why so much of horrendous activities take place, Why there is so much blood shed, so much rivalry, so much ill will, so much vengeance and so much atrocities.?

Right. If God is omnipotent, why not he prevent such terrible actions, why not he stop man killing man, why not he bring peace, good will. friendship and dexterity?

My queries may sound critical, may appear radical.

I am not questioning the authority of God.

My argument is that God blesses the evil , by giving them opportunities, by providing them with all material comfort, and permitting them to usurp the rights from the rightful proprietor.

Men , who lead a blemish free life, who slog for the potential goodness, who refrain from telling lies, from cheating, from not talking about others, are mercilessly pushed to the corner , by the mercenary, greedy, snobbish, perfidious gang.

Why does this happen?

Is it God’s way of treating good ?

Is it God’s method of promulagation?

Is it God’s procedural delay?

Confusion creeps in. My faith in God is thoroughly shaken.

Diffused in Music

I placed myself , in a most vantage position, away from my telephone, from my PC and range bound from my domestic staff.

I dug through my collection of CD’s . I took out my favourite Kriti, ‘nannupalimpa ‘rendered by Maharajapuram Santhanam.

Mohanam, is the key raga , the property of the Maharajapuram school.

Raga Mohanam is an alluring . an enchanting,and an enticing beauty

Listening to the particular rendition, I got intoxicated and bewitched.

Thiagaraja ,was in the midst of his daughter’s marriage. The rituals were taking place. The saint was little distracted. as his eyes were looking at the Cauvery river ,which was majestically flowing,, He was eagerly waiting for his disciple Venkataramana Bhaghavathar.He got worried. He could not participate in the ceremonies whole heartedly.His mind became restless.Then, as though it was an apparition, he saw Venkataramana Bhagavathar wading through the deep waters, carrying aloft the idol of Sri Rama.

Tyagaraja,in ecstasy sang the kriti “nanupalimpa. nadachivachitivo”.

He saw, Lord Rama, striding imperiously, negotiating the fluent flow of Cauvery, and entering the wedding pandal.To him ,there was no sign of anything tangible. The bridal pair, the relatives, his prime disciple, all submerged into Sri Rama. He saw the Lordeverywhere, in every face.

He cried Rama, Rama,in deep bhakthi.He felt that SriRama had descended from Heaven , to bless his daughter, in response to his invitation.Tyagaraja ,extolled.,Lord Rama’s coutesy as he had condescended to grace the occassion,a blessing unexpected, unheard and unimaginable

As Tyagaraja felt the Divine Presence.,I experienced the same stimulating sentiment ,while I listened to this beautiful song.. I was enthralled , exhilarated and lost myself in reverie

Oh ! Rama ,transcribe the most exquisite of all emotions, translate the most lovable of all experiences, and transcend the most celestial of all beings.

I see Sri Rama alone.
