Well, another 365 days have passed in most of our lives and more than likely wishes might be pouring in from lot of corners that the next 365 days be filled with happiness. I never paid lot of attention even being an avid follower of non-Duality on how deeply philosophical these wishes are (don’t worry, I am not going to lecture on Advaita today :)). Simply put, we all want happiness. There is a small catch though, don’t we want…
Seldom we see individuals who are destined to become legends in their own rights who can leave an impact on millions who remember an event in their lives and realize, either there is a small sparkle in their eyes or an unstoppable expression of joy in their hearts gently visible through a tickle of smile on the face. Few generations are lucky enough to see such people in their lifetime and I am no exception and cannot express my gratitude…
Manifestations of God are both mysterious and mischevious. Seldom in those mysteries, miracles sparkle. It is an undeniable fact that Didi‘s voice was not only pristine but there is peace written all over it. Lata Mangeshkar, the nightingale of India, is an immortal to the masses. While her mortal remains are no longer with us, she definitely left us behind a tressure that we will cherish forever. Shyaayad phir is janam me mulaqaat ho na ho (we may never see…
ॐ पूर्णमदः पूर्णमिदं पूर्णात्पुर्णमुदच्यते पूर्णस्य पूर्णमादाय पूर्णमेवावशिष्यते ॥ ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ॥ Behind that unassuming smile of his lie a student who wish to seep all the knowledge that one can grab to make life more meaningful than ever. My association with Peda-Pedanaanna (eldest of my dad’s brothers) is unlike any other siblings of a vast 9 children family of my grandparents. I lay no claim that I am better than anyone but, I am sure that I am the lucky one. Today I woke up looking at a…
We humans need a reason to celebrate and some spoiled brats decided in the past that the Gregorian Calendar shall begin on a day called January 1st and we will celebrate it as a new year. In their defense though, something should start some where, even if its not perfect. Like all other previous years, this January 1st will remind us the spent journey, be it wise or not. Many people make resolutions, some keep them some don’t and many…
యథాలాపంగా స్నేహితులం కొందరం, ఇంట్లో పని ఎగ్గొట్టి మా సమావేశానికి అనువైన ఆదివారం, ఒక కాపీ (కాఫీ) కొట్లో (కొట్టేమిటి అసహ్యంగా ..!) కలుసుకుని, అత్యంత విలువైన మాటలు మాట్లాడుకుంటున్నాం. ఒకరు ఒబామ అంటే, వేరొకరు రామ్ని. ఇలా అమెరికాకి కాబోయే రాష్రపతి గురించి ఒకటే చర్చ. వెధవది, ఇంట్లో పప్పు వండాలో, కొత్త సొఫా కొనాలో లెదో, అమ్మాయికి డాన్సు నేర్పాలో లేదో లాంటి చిన్న చిన్న ఇంటి విషయాలు ఇల్లాలికి వదిలేసి, దేశానికి సంబంధించిన ముఖ్యమైన విషయాలు నిర్ణయించే అధికారం కొల్పోకుండా, మా మానాన్ని మేము మా లొకంలో విహరించే సమయానికి వూడిపడ్డాడు ఇంకో కోతి (అదేనండీ స్నేహితుడు). వీడి గురించి చెప్పాలంటే కవితే కరెక్టు.. నెత్తి మీద వున్నాయి వేలెడెన్నివెంట్రుకలు,…
Sometimes I am lost at words on how to describe my feelings to myself on how many ways I can screw up myself. Strange as it seems, my road to perdition is neither new nor has changed. The sense of ego and foolishness often give me enough credits to label myself as a human being who know the truth and yet fail to embrace it. I listen to ‘Dharma’ everyday and yet fail to put efforts in ‘acceptance’. God, by…
Unlike embracing new year celebrations like in the past, this time around, I should say that the welcome party was more subdued and unresponsive. There is a sense of urgency in doing the best I can, coming close to 40 always reminded me that I am getting ‘older’. The small soul inside me prompts me back and quickly raises the hand to ask me a difficult question; “was the last 365 days made you older or wiser?”. On any given…
Happy Diwali! Its been a while for me to re-visit my ‘freedom’ and ponder upon my thoughts and let them fly freely. Diwali is an apt moment for myself to reflect upon and see, where I have been and how I am doing. Festive season has started with great enthusiasm both at work and home and all around. With elections concluded and Obama won his second term, couple of bad news from India, reactions were mixed but, that only strengthened…
It is not irony nor coincidence that I am writing a blog after a long time and what prompted me to do so was a mere TV show. There was lot of chat, discussions, press and occult about this TV show being hosted by Amir Khan, a lovable icon and equally good human, who has the compassion and virtue of bringing a program that is very aptly titled ‘Satyameva Jayate’. It is neither my intention nor my reasoning that would…
