Thirukarthigai.

Karthigai , is the festival of lights ,in South India.

This ritual centres around Lord Subramania.

Thiruvannamlai, the abode of God Arunachaleswar, is the cynosure of all eyes , during the Karthigai rejoicement.A gigantic depam is lit , and the Lord is taken in a procession,around the hills.

It is called as Thiruvannamali deepam.

Millions gather to watch this colourful ceremony.

The air reverberates with the frenzied cry of the devotees, as they hail Arunachaleswara.

.Almost in all temples throughout South India , akal deepams are lit,and chokappaan is burnt, pointing to fire, which constitutes one of the five elements of life

.Ladies offer prayers at home, and decorate their houses with eye catching kolams and deeyas

The entire house is spruced up.right from the basement to the attic .

Old , unusable and unwanted things are brougt down and disposed by setting them ablaze.

This practice, is an obeisance to fire, which constitutes one of the five elements of life.

This large scale illumination denotes that the external light reflects the inner self It is a metaphorical allusion to Wisdom which radiates the mind,and compassion which extolls the soul .

A better tomorrow.

Mumbai has been shredded,massacred, hideously tormented.

The expeditions, gunshots.bullet and grenade dropping , the sound and fire, are reminiscent of a mini war .in monumental Taj and High storied Oberoi.

It was an aggression with a difference, hotels as warfields.

200, innocent lives have been lost.Trade delegates, a bank chairman and a manager,top police officials, hotel chefs, waiters, management trainees,and a host of customers of the famed Taj and Oberoi, La pold .have fallen dead.

People have no faith in the government, in politicians and in the state administration.

We have to fall back on ourselves, rely on our strength.

The political ranting ,the useless governance, should be hit hard.

We should make a coordinated effort to activate the machinery .The top leaders, have done nothing to the country, but filled up their coffers.

Their petty in fights, their dominating arrogance, their exotic orations, their audacious paraphernalia have caught up with the media.

The hypocrisy should be out witted, their disguise as upright entities should be torn, their goody goody image should be tarnished their ineffectuallity should be exposed,and their circumvention to infidelity should be revealed .

These rugged leviathans, should be shown their place by the people’s coherent attack, by casting their votes against them in the coming elections.

Voting rights should be exercised without fail, for that is the only weapon we have.

The power is within us , to make life worthy living.

We want a safe , hassle free, pleasant tomorrow.

Mumbai Unfazed.

Mumbai, has once again,come out of shock ,very quickly

Marine Drive , saw many walkers taking a brisk stroll in the morning.

Death is staring at you from one end of the sea.

Life is smiling at you from the other end of the sea.

Fire and smoke emanate from the riotous expedition.

Cheer and hope emulate from the courageous population.

This is the spirit of Mumbai.

Mumbai proclaims that death and life, gloom and hope,hatred and love,hostility and amity,loss and profit,simplicity and ostentation,denial and agreement,gravity and flippancy,danger and security, are occurrences of daily life.

Nothing comes to a halt .

Nothing gets jolted.

Nothing goes astray.

Blasts, clashes, shooting, wreckage ,the most heinous of all crimes, emboldens Mumbai.

Stock market downturn, economy meltdown, business loss,insulates Mumbai.

Mumbaikers face all odds with equanimity,as they are truly business oriented .

Every symptom .good or bad , means business.

Profit is their motto.

No wonder, they rise from each tragic compulsion with added power and extended glory.

Mumbai ,the city which never dies, offers a new dimension to life, an illustrative philosophy. an endearing principle, and a chivalrous approach.

Meenakshi memudham

Meenakshi . presides over the temple city of Madurai, with excellent grandeur and exuberant charm.

Once, you get near her shrine,you became ecstatic, you lose yourself in a reverie,you seem to feel light, you are totally mesmerised,you get diffused in her splendour,you become spellbound before her,you are animated,.

Such is the charm of Meenakshi.

She is a mother to her devotees.

A mother should be easily accessible to all.

Unfortunately, to get a darshan we have to wait in a long queue.or else buy a 100RS ticket to get a free and close look at the Goddess .which is beyond the reach of many.

Will the authorities take steps to make Meenakshi visible to all?,

The mundane commercial aspect spoils the gusto and tempo of reverberation.

Extricating ,from wordly thoughts, I hum the Kirtana

Meenakshi me mudham dehi,

mesakanngi raaja mathangi,

Muthusami Dikshitar’s composition in raga Poorva kalyani, .

The resplendent charm of Meenakshi, is portrayed in detail by the trinity of carnatic music

The eternal union of Meenaksh with Sundereswara,symbolises the unification of jivaatma with parmatma,. It is a seamless amalgamation of the individual with divinity.

Madurai is the abode of Meenakshi .”madurpuri nilaye manivalaye.”.

Meliflous Melody.

“Melody ,thy name is M.S.”

The suga anubhava of listening to her music cannot be expressed.

The serenity of her rendition , the sublime rhapsody of her presentation,the celestial essence of her recitals.the rhythmic expression of her songs, transports the audience to a transcendental bliss.

Her raga alapanas intoxicates the listener.

The way of combining the swaras elicits her mastery over the art.

Music is M.S.

M.S promulgated music.

M.S. breathed music.

M.S.enlivened music.

Music brought fame to her.

M.S gave music the quality of bhakti.

My 100th post.

meenas17 has made the first hundred.

Don Bradman’s first 100 runs was an achievement.

So is Gavaskars’ and Tendulkars’.

The target of a first century, is a nervous, anxious, fidgety destination.

Once you are off the mark, the going attains a quick buoyancy

meenas17 has crossed this detrimental century fixture.

In its course,

It has recorded economic frequencies.

It has transcribed religious rituals.

It has firmed up on environment.

It has prescribed heath diet and simple remedies.

It has focused on community issues.

It has revelled on musical excellence.

‘It has delighted on artifacts.

It has depicted nature’s charm.

Capturing the ornate in its pristine splendour, recollecting it in repeated rhythms,nurturing it in the inner self, cradling it in the mind, bedecking it with ardent fervour ,delivering it with utmost care and devotion , is called Creation.

Creation is both dignified and intrinsic.

Creation is a responsible reverence,.

Creation is a sublime celestial authentication.

Remembering, the lines of Robert Frosts in , Stopping by the woods . is most accurate to my predicament. .

“The woods are lovely, dark and deep.

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before , I sleep,

And miles to go before, I sleep .

A very similar experience is awaiting me.

My venture has to be fulfilled.

My life is lovely but surrounded by infirmity and jeopardy.

I have to trespass ,crisscross, efficiently extract ,dispassionately divulge the shrouded mystery.
