Moments so Far ...

Life without purpose is ship without sail. We just meander and allow the winds to take where they please themselves. Therefore we need to have a vision for ourselves as to what we see us in next few days to next few years like they say the short term and the long term goals. Goals can be categorized into 1. Personal 2. Professional 3. Spiritual Personal goals can be further classified on the role we play 1. Son -- what do your parents think of you? 2. Brother -- what do your brothers think of you? 3. Husband -- what does your wife think of you? 4. Friend -- what do your friends think of you? 5. Social -- what does society think of you? 6.In-Laws -- what do your inlaws think of you. Professional goals can be broken down into 1. Employee – what value you add to your company? 2. Colleague -- what value you add to your people around you in your company? 3. Superiors – what benefits can they reap by your skill set? 4. Juniors – How good a guide/mentor are you in their career growth? Spiritu...

It was a wonderful experience. It portrayed the life of an actor. It seems more like the life of any individual who is alone and disparate. It is so true of actor as of any human being that they enact different roles and ultimately the void still remains as such. Also the transformations and dialogues which move you in shifting context. Like the Gandhi, the freedom fighter to the Gandhi, the rag picker. The comparisons of rug bag to school kids bags. The transition of loss from near one to losing a chance to play a role. Also like actor we have a purpose in this life , to live and love , till the end. Life will show and urge you to play different roles but you shall live them to core. The passion, the tears, the mockery and the injustice all taken in stride. The chair as being only true friend and life of it drawing parallel to our life. The same beating and torture of early years to get the shape right and then the isolation on declaring ones want and desires.

Digression is permitted but not to same destination again and again. Its like the cricketer after getting out always has to go to pavilion. If your destination wavers like your mind then I don’t mind :) Life is definitely boring but loneliness gives a different perspective and that is encouraging and yes I am indulging in books and I would you definitely read "To Kill a Mocking Bird" by Harper Lee if you haven’t already read it. It's about growing up/compromises and principles instilled in oneself from ones surroundings. Although the locale in Alabama its appeal is universal. I have also read DaVinci Code (an okay thriller but rich in historical discussions and meaning) There is a theatre opened close to home called RangaShankara and I think I will indulge in watching theatre for actors are real life and enactment is in front of your eyes. My first play witnessed was called Open Couple, a humorous learning about a maturing couple Regards, Sharma -----Original Message-----...

Is it experience differences? Is it to understand nature? Is it understand your purpose here? Is it to simply live, breathe and perish? Is it to foster relationship?

why does one yearn for closeness whens ones loved ones are not around and why does one yearn for perfection when ones loved ones are around? Is it not the travesty of emotion that the ones who you like are felt relatively to the distance you have with them? Its not justice and its not being fair to oneself nor to thyself when ones indulges in such misbehavior. Love is difficult to explain but easy to felt and you know it when its in air but why do we ignore when ones loved ones emanate the lovely airs? why do we forget to breathe and fill our lungs with love and blind our critical eyes and shut our omnious mouth and halt the wavering tongue to simply quiten in its den. We make the same mistake which we pointed to when ones loved ones does it when they are not around and feel the pain as to why perfection in relationship when we know that we are simply humans given our quota of time and the quota of land and air and water which one shall use as long as one is here and then simply disa...

As we encroach unchartered and foreign territory so do we feel when we build a new relationship. It has the initial fears and apprehensions and the magnified visibility of enourmous gaps which would have to filled in time lest the winds shall bifurcate. Differing cultures on rendezvous act and react. Some instill fire and some throw water. Its the quantity and quality of either of them which will either douse the fire or burn the water through. People from different background converge and try to assimilate to foster an understanding. Allowing other to create and build their space but pushing a little to have their unique positions strengthened. They need to build their guard and position their might tactfully to have a future where differences can blend with least of efforts. Is it so complex as it sounds above or its simply the mind complicated and dissolving mud in crystal clear water. Lets thoughts flow as river at origin. But we all know how difficult that can be because as t...

heard her on the phone and was mesmerised by her simple words ,noises and affirmations for my blabbering. I never knew that a one and half year old could demonstrate this amount of understanding. I do have my misgivings for this achievement of her that its simple copying of how we respond to others and she has picked up every nuance of expression needed to demonstrate understanding. And then she went along and continued to play which seems to come naturally to them and it does not matter how far or near the parents are as long as mother is around.

Why does mind seeks places where it believes it shall find peace? why does mind moves the body ahead again when peace seems to elude again? Is it peace alone or is it the yearning for separation that prepares the mind to relocate ambience. Or is it simply lack of activity that causes restlessness. Restlessness causes uneasiness. Uneasy mind destabilizes mind and to regain balance mind causes movement to unknown. In this chaos why doesn't mind enlist body to create activity and shun the disturbances which seems to emanate from the outside but are incidentally from within. why cannot the learning occur where one is? Is present so disturbing that tomorrow shall no longer want to tread where tadoy walks through.
