Voices from Within

May this day spread Light and Love in your hearts...
Have an awesome Diwali.. Remember... No crackers!

Long story short..
I had got Endhiran tickets for Thursday nite. 
Multiple things happened on the same day. I was so frustrated and missing the movie was the least of my worries.

So, I auctioned the ticket at work..
10% discount?? none
25% ?? none
Get two pay for one?? - still none.

I've already had enough for the day and finally I gave away the tickets for Free!!

And magically, the problem modified itself to be more solvable.
Is this - Instant karma???

Not everyday, you go 'Ooooh-my-God'; Not very often you see something sooo beautiful.. so awesome.. that makes you feel so blissful and complete.

Its been a while, since I wrote here; Been busy with multiple things. But this is something, I'd like to look back and cherish.

It was during the past weekend, when I least expected it. It started out as a simple-trip to a colleague's wedding in a nearby town, Vellore. The journey was pleasant; We discussed random things from running, traffic, evolution, work, love, Indian marriages and even God.

Time permitting, we decided to visit the new Golden temple in Sripuram. We had to wait a while, and walk a mile.. And then the good trip turned greater-awesome.

Yeah. I'm not the temple guy. But this aint that. This is big dive, deep into awesomeness !! Some times you just need to see these to realize how beautiful life really is.

The fabulously lit Golden vimanas againt the evening grey and their reflections in the pond... Awwww....

I'm doing injustice to the place, by trying to explain it in words. Go there and feel it.

"Life is not the amount of breaths you take, it's the moments that take your breath away" - This is one such moment!

Until next time,

Happy living,

Strange day! Woke up with an unusual feeling that nothing really matters. Observed my actions the whole day for something significant.. something important.. something inspiring.. But NO.. May be, nothing matters.. really..

This is me venting about last week's Mangalore Crash.

One moment, everything is fine,
the next, fire and flame
starting the game blame.

I ask why?
How can a 6 month old have bad karma,
None understands all the drama!

Is it a coincidence or Bad action?
Bad weather or sleeping pilot,
doesn't matter now - all but
smoke, ashes, death and decay.

I doubt if there is a God,
Even If there is one,
He ain't doing any good job at all.

All those who ceased,
May they rest in peace.

Lets say, you are taking a leisure evening walk in the woods. As you go past a pond, you see a child drowning - Would you save her?

What if, it means to ruin a pair of expensive-shoes?

Will you still save her?

Do you still say - YES?

Then why not spend the cost of the shoes to save some 10 kids who are starved (of food, of education, of other basic needs)
