Enjoy simple pleasures

-
Watched a movie that had this lovely scene about simple pleasures - Admiring the moon rise, Dancing in the rain and playing with little children...

The twosome were trying to escape the gangsters who were literally after their lives; still it was nice that the director had this segment of them enjoying the simple pleasures in life. Whatever be the situation, after the first shock or anger or anxiety or horror of it fades a little and you have life to get on with, it is these simple things that give you a chance to smile and generally forget the nightmarish thoughts for few moments.

I think it is important to habitually make time to cherish and enjoy simple pleasures in life - enjoying an ice cream candy, watching the moonrise, making a sand castle with a child, smiling when you see a child, feeling the wind on your face with closed eyes, listening to soft music when you cook or eat, dancing in the rain... the list can go on...

Do not forget the simple pleasures in the mad rush of life's countless demands that face you each day. - Staple thought

Totally agreed! even when I am in the worst of moods when I catch a glimpse of the distant sun set in my rear view mirror it brightens me up! :)... I remember that song from Sound of Music :)
"Rain drop on roses and whiskers on kittens...."

Some thoughts, impressions and memories are powerful in life, those will have both positive and negative effect on our moods. Some of these are related to incidents, people, what ever... Sometimes these feelings don't consult with us, all the tremors and tsunamis we go thru in our minds erupt those sleepy volcanos and result in the damaging ash clouds (alright I admit I am living in the Iceland nightmare ... excuse the expressions). Of course, mind is a beautiful thing which heals by taking advantage of the ultimate weapon TIME.

I love reading such blogs... thank you!

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
