Indulgence of a Birthday boy

Courtesy: http://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/
One is normally allotted a certain amount of indulgence on his birthday. I thought I will carry it all the way by throwing on all of you, a blog.

Every person no matter how mundane his existence feels occasional spurts of grandeur arise forth in him. He takes on a different personality at those times. Becomes a leader of men (Note: Only one gender specified), a philosopher, a saint and maybe even GOD. This normally dies down after a while when reality after giving the person a nice smile, politely shows the mirror.

The world then goes on and all was well. Unfortunately with the coming of the world of blogging, these moments of grandeur got translated into words and published into eternity on the internet. Though this usually creates only a nuisance, it has surprisingly, some advantages.

It is said that there is nothing more powerful than an IDEA whose TIME has come. (No wonder both terms are registered and copyrighted). Unfortunately the one with the idea is not always the one with the ability or energy to implement the same but then he may still be able to inspire. Providence and sometimes Googleshwara often helps unite the two.

Hence with such noble intention, I have decided to confuse the world with my musings. Watch this space for your regular dose of madness.

Blog-o-Rama...why do you have to go through this kharma??!

Sense of grandeur? - totally - gifting oneself a blog on his bday (Note: Only one gender mentioned - touchbase with me to keep secrets like these! ;)) is grandeur-grandiloquence :)

As a blogger of close to 3 yrs now...I suggest u enable RSS feeds on ur blog - else the traffic might be difficult to come by.

How I became part of "His" Story - Part I

" I know that it is easy for us to think that He does not care about any of us leaving. After all, there are new students coming in every year. That however is far from the truth. He feels the pain of separation many times more than we do. So kindly at least give a letter and take leave off Him before you go for your job. " These words of a classmate of mine had touched me deeply. I have no idea to this day why he said this to me but that is what stopped me from leaving Parthi on the night of March 31st. It was the All Fools Day of 2005. It was the first day after I completed my Masters of Business Administration in Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning, 2 years after I had set foot in Prasanthi Nilayam for the very first time. Two very memorable years as a Sai Student.  Bhagawan arrived in my life as a photograph when I was about 7 years old through the medium of my newly-wed aunt and uncle. My mother, more out of a need to not offend the new me...

The Thought Merchants

On the third day, we had a coastal ride and an ayurvedic massage scheduled. I was in the second batch of the ride and the last one for the massage. That meant a lazy morning with nothing to do. For me that means only one thing: A long walk and what is more, a walk along the shore letting the sea caress my feet with its temptingly chill and silky fingers. Source: http://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1988/06/27 Now an idiosyncrasy I share with many Tamils born during the 80s and the 70s is to walk with my hands in my pockets (why do we do that? It is never cold in Chennai. One answer: Style) and the boombox in my head playing "Kadalin Deepam Ondru". Despite being a Kamal Fan, this Rajini number is my default walk song.  Ilaiyaraaja 's music is extra-ordinary and Rajini's cool, casual and yet thoroughly love-stricken stroll in the woods is a visual thoroughly imprinted in our minds. Though Shankar and ARR tried to replace the above song with  Kadh...

The Wedding Revelers

The Event: Prashanthi Karthik Kalyanam   The Day: 3 rd of July, 2011 The Bride: An innocent, beautiful and guile-less young woman who knows to speak only with affection. (Yeah! Yeah! I know. She is my sis. Yeah! Yeah! Despite that.) An enlightened confidence holds her head high. Not one formed out of the arrogance of achievements but one which comes with the conviction of being God’s favoured child. The Groom: A soft spoken, courteous and accomplished young man with a bearing of great dignity. He miraculously manages to side step haughtiness, the inescapable companion of Technical Excellence. An uncompromisable respect for elders keeps his feet firmly planted on the ground. The Families: The two loving couples stood together with the perfect understanding that only comes with the clarity of their absolute compatibility. Both parents of a son and a daughter, they coordinated the whole event with such enviable organisational skills that even experienced event organisers we...
