Birthday....

-
I have always believed that a nice wish can change your mood, change your thoughts, and change your way of life.. A birthday is one such occasion, when you get a chance to feel the difference and boost the feel-good factor within.

I knew that my phone means so much to me, but never realized it as much as I did today... It is my birthday and this lovely little electronic magic has transmitted so many valuable wishes to me over phone, from far and near and dear...

I knew Internet is a fantastic means to stay in touch, but never realized it as much as I did today.... It is my birthday and I have had a chance to receive so many wishes ( thanks to orkut) and most importantly send a thank you message in response.

It almost end of the day and I thought I'll take stock of the moments that made me smile today...

An early morning SMS wishing me a very happy birthday...
All the calls that I received today...
All the messages I received today...
All the calls I missed and returned today...
All orkut messages from my friends...
The emails from my friends...
The chocolate I had today...
The elaborate lunch I prepared today...
The appreciations that I got for the gooseberry pickle I made...
The Gulab Jamoon that I had this afternoon...
The sweets I bought for my friends...
My new bag...
The sweet little angelic baby I met in the shop this evening.. She and I became great friends :)...
The gift I got this evening...
The drizzly afternoon walk and the phone calls I made...
The IPOD time on a drizzly afternoon, in an auto on a road that seems like it is fenced with lush green trees...
The new drawing that captured petals of a gulmohar flower...
The quote on Bagavad Gita that I chanced to read today...
The Mango dish I had for dinner...
'Hey Akka, you have become one more year older.. Happy birthday....'... someone remarked... and I said, 'But you forget that I have also become a little more wiser'...

In all its been a great and blessed birthday.... :-)

How are you placed today?

-
A very common question I got asked over the last one month's time by many of my friends. The answer has to be simple: I have a, b, c things to do or 1, 2, 3 places to go to or i, ii, iii work to complete... and the like.. This is on the basic level and probably this question doesn't need too much thought or attention beyond this.. But, I did find this question quite disturbing. One evening, on my way back from a temple, I realized the answer to this question: Where ever we are at any given point in time, we are placed at the right position to serve the right purpose at the right time!!. Just that we do not realize it. There is no reason to fret about things ( I admit that I have not yet reached that level of maturity as I write this post but I definitely realize ) when they are not in your hands. Exam results for instance. You can only put your best until the paper leaves your hands. Now, if the evaluation will happen properly is something you have no control over. Sim...

Sargam - A 1992 Movie Review

-
This is a malayalam movie directed by Hariharan. Probably everyone in Kerala would have watched this many times. I got a chance to watch this movie yesterday. Brilliant make - a nice mix of psychology and music. I could identify, Vineeth, Renuka, Thilagan, and Nedumudi Venu in the movie. I wouldnt know the rest of the stars but I must say the movie has been done very well and is set in the late seventies or so it seems. Or may be the nineties itself. I would not know such a set up because I grew up in Tamil Nadu. The whole movie has been shot in a bungalow of old times. They call it Kovilagam which seems to mean Temple. I assume that the ancestors of this family had once been very rich and provided for the families working for them and lived a kingly life with great taste towards traditional arts. The family in the movie seems to be richer as well and did have regards for arts, especially music. Kuttan Thamburan had epilepsy and his close pal, Hari was around right from childhood to ta...

Make a difference......

Andhra mess..... Once quiet, but now a noisy little food joint close to my office caters to the IT folks who crowd in during Noon for lunch. We are a group of friends who frequent this place once or twice a month for sure. We all have different preferences in meal usually. One friend of mine loves peanut powder, another does not have curd, I don't usually take rice, instead ask for extra Rotis, another friend likes to have sugar soon after the usually spicy meal. Usually we place orders for "All Veg meals" and when the waiter comes over to serve, we give out our preferences. I never knew that he knew our tastes by heart... He ensured that sugar was kept on the table, extra rotis were brought in, and peanut powder took a place in our table. We are all still amazed about the memory power that this person who serves close to hundred people a day has and how much of an impact it has on us, his valuable customers. Later when we were talking about it, we realized that a lot of ...
