Feel like a ride

It was a fine evening. Just like any other.
Was at office contemplating the next few hours and I was reminded of the road. It has always been a nice thought to munch on. The wide road and the unending miles. Traffic far and between with sparsely interspersed shops and small eats.
I felt like a ride [...]

Good times and the bad times

It has beena kind of rough week for me. Half of my relatives are down with some illness or the other. The saving grace has been that each household has only a maximum of one person out of action. But it has been stressful enough with work to add.
But then there is a kind of [...]

Meditation diaries

I had written a post sometime back, on a particular observation during practise of asanas and meditation. Interestingly I had a comment by a gentleman talking about the a very sweeping description of meditation.
It was a very good description and I would like to agree with him on a lot of aspects. But if I [...]

Meditation diaries

I had received a book written in Tamil by my Guru and it has been quite an interesting journey.
For one, it is not a book which can be read at one go. To say the least, it is a book which should only be read a couple of pages a time. This is because of [...]

Meditation diaries

I have noticed many a time that I would like to express myself, but it turns out that the subject has already been broached by a different author in a different medium. This is particularly true for reflections in the spiritual space.
Just to give an example, I have heard of a Tamil song, one portion [...]

@Ashok

I was asked a question on this forum a couple of weeks back and I had always wanted to write about it. This is probably the first time that I have taken notice of him in the time that I have known him. This reflects more on my relationship with him rather than on him [...]

People I know

I have had many a rumination about the way people act and the motives behind the same. Let me tell you a story then.
Damu comes from a very decent background. His father is an established lawyer and his mother is a renowned artist. His lineage is as established as his love for his whiskers. He [...]

Chennai Diaries

It has been almost a year since I left Chennai to start work in Bangalore. The memories are faint and the emotions are in traces.
I remember many a nice day spent rollicking in my grand parent’s place in Annanagar, Chennai. It is now a faint remembrance of what it used to represent a decade or more [...]

Sex is the basis & Procreation the driving force

I observe people and I can see that there are motives for every action. On a broad scale we have desires, ambition, likes, dislikes and other emotions on various scales. A few people will argue on the basic desires being food, clothing and shelter. But I would say that the very basic instinct would be [...]

Everything is in the seed-2

Talking about the human seed, I am reminded of the Tamil word for father-’Thanthai’. This word is actually broken down to ‘Thannai thanthavar’, which basically means one who has given himself. There could be myriad interpretations for this and my understanding is it basically means a person who has given himself, which means everything which [...]
