Everything takes time - In Its Time!

-
  • I think about someone who was upset when we spoke earlier today.
  • I see a temple at the crossroads and say a quiet word of prayer for the person.
  • I look down on the pavement and see an insect writhing, in an effort to be moving again.
I drift off in thoughts...

For some reason, I am able to connect the dots and see the Universe's message for me.The person is struggling too. A lot of pain it must be. I wish and hope it gets soothed and healed by a miraculous touch of the Universe. 

I recall from school:

Make me beautiful in your eyes;Make me truthful in your ears;Make me strong in body and in mind;Make me gentle, good, and kind;Help me, dear God, to do my duty always;Wherever I am let me do my part!.

That makes me wish if there is something I must do, I better know! The Universe is what I trust in. As an afterthought... I did not help the insect back on its track. I have never done to date. Too bad, I realize late.

Hours later, I get off a bus, headed homeward. The crossroads again. I recall the insect. I walk a little mindfully, lest I step on it and kill the poor little thing if it were still alive and lying in the same place where I found it before. I slow down, my eyes scanning the pavement for the insect. 

I found it. The insect had managed to slowly move on its way. Although slow, it looked stable. I smile and walk on thanking God for big mercies to little beings.

Deep down I think that the messages are:
The Universe is guiding all that is going on.The Universe has something for everyone every day!The Universe is naturally responsive.The Universe never fails.The Universe moves things in our favour in its time!
Musing: I want to live a little more mindful life under the loving umbrella of the all-encompassing Universe! I will mind my tongue starting today.

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

Thappad - A slap!

-
'Thappad' translates to Slap in English. I loved the lead lady's facial expression in the trailer, so I clicked 'Play' to watch the movie.  The storyline goes like this:  Amrita and Varun are happily married. Varun gets a senior role in London. The couple had been waiting to relocate to London. When the news of the promotion and the role officially came in Varun throws a party for a close circle of 40 people - professional and personal. The evening was fun-filled which directly translates to drinks, dance, food, and networking. The boss quietly tells Varun that the offer has been passed on to someone else, and Varun is going to stay in India. To everyone's disapproval and dismay, Varun loses his cool and yells at the boss and the other people whom he suspected may have had a corporate politics role-play behind the change of plans. Sensing that his behavior was probably because he was too drunk, Amrita tries to pull away Varun from the scene. Varun slaps her tigh
