Freedom!

Its a long route to freedom.. a winding steep and high
When u walk in along with the wind on your face
And cover the earth with the songs you sing
The miles fly by...

I suddenly recalled this verse from somewhere. Should be school verses. Coming to think of it, the lyrics are so freshening up and rejuvenating for the mind. Aren’t they?
Yes, Freedom feels quite freshening. Undoubtedly. 

I read somewhere, 'Enjoy Freedom Responsibly’. Beautifully said.

 It's easy to lose track of responsibility and commitment, when the freedom is ingrained so much in our minds, that it borders on the thin line of control wall with indifference and carelessness on the other side.
  • Freedom is going out. Responsible freedom is to be aware of the surroundings too.
  • Freedom is dressing up comfortably or dressing up to feel good. Responsible freedom is to dress up for the occasion/event/place.
  • Freedom is doing whatever feels good. Responsible freedom is to evaluate if it may hurt someone’s person/sentiment/choices.
  • Freedom is eating/drinking what you want. Responsible freedom is making sure that the others in the table/family/group do not mind too.
  • Freedom is talking. Responsible freedom is to ensure that your talking doesn’t affect the others negatively.
  • Freedom is writing. Responsible freedom is to write sensibly in your own infinite boundary without using rude language which disturbs that one reader who may try to strike a chord with your work.
  • Freedom is opinion. Responsible freedom is to give opinions knowing that the other person wants one.
  • Freedom is choosing your own faith or religion. Responsible freedom is to exercise your beliefs within the limits of the religious sentiments.
  • Freedom is love. Responsible freedom is to not misuse the 'love' in the freedom.
  • Freedom is a gift. Responsible freedom is to realize 'Freedom' as a gift and use it wisely.
Live free! Enjoy Responsible Freedom! Live in Love.

Its a long route to freedom.. a winding steep and high
When u walk in along with the wind on your face
And cover the earth with the songs you sing
The miles fly by...

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 ...
