Eyes With Fire Will See Light Everywhere

After Big Bang theory I could not find anything interesting or worth looking forward on television each day after I reach home.  Couple of weeks ago while I was fiddling with the remote I happened to stop on Star world channel as I found interesting introspect  of the one of leading character  in the series and could not stop watching till the completion of the episode. I liked it and the series name is “PACKED TO RAFTERS.”  It is an Australian sit com. After that snippet view I used to watch the sitcom randomly but on one Saturday star world played the re-runs almost the entire day. After watching the reruns I started loving it even more and now I am a blocked for 9 to 10 Pm in the night. Packed to Rafters is a light hearted romantic comedy primarily focused on family bonding and relationships. It addresses the issues of the three generations: how does each vary in their thinking, what each carves for, how each spent time, how each share the...

2012 was a very tough year. I received setbacks and more setbacks. Pushed on to the stages where I was not comfortable or never faced. I endured. The setbacks removed some of the unnecessary perceptions and unessential things in which I thought were important. Life has become much simpler now. Friendships have become much deeper and stronger. Books were my companions throughout the 2012. I read and read and then again read. I did not paid much attention to my fitness, my body and my hobbies. I did not travel much, did not even stand by my oath: to travel at least one foreign country every year starting 2012. Gave up continuing learning playing flute. Found interest in sketching but could not able to continue on that.Much of time focused to make my career better. Got an award at the company on the final day. Life is much bigger and brighter than I thought.   2012 once again showed me that it is the simple things in life I crave for. My thoughts have been muc...

Have you ever wondered what it is to be like just to be with a person? I am not talking about staying with a person or caring /supporting or talking with person just to “BE” with a person. Confused !!! When I heard this four years back I did not understood what it was. Now I am able to get the gist of it. It is very difficult to put down the experience with my limited language skills. One can try to understand this with an experiment. To avoid social embracement, try out with a two to three years old babies. Take a baby and leave him/her on a big hall with toys / any engaging material and just be with baby. Do not interfere, do not cuddle, do not help out (until unless there is harm) just be with baby. Check out what it would be like.It would be a definitely be a nice experience. If enough consciousness is put into, it would be a life altering experience. PS: If you do not get it, it’s ok.

How many times we have talked about equality in one criterion and then in our actions shown discriminations basing on another criterion. I complain my grand mother is showing discrimination based on caste and then I completely neglect that I am showing discrimination based on habits of the people. Criteria have changed but the issue still remains. I wonder how come we started calling it evolution. Evolution happens when we understand and accept who we are and then work on who/what we wanted to be.   Talking of acceptance is completely distinct from doing it.   It appears across in humans to societies to organizations to countries. Change as charity should start at home but if the scale of change is very high then it should come from people of higher power or responsibility for quick turnaround. I have observed one such thing recently and I am glad that such things are started. Courts have declared and in some countries it has become law that “the o...

I strongly believe a person’s eyes speaks volumes about what the person is inside at any specific point of time than anything else. One can act or fake facial expressions or master body language skills but never can modify what is there in the eyes as it reflects what is inside. I generally look at eyes to gauge what a person is. I stopped looking into my eyes 3 to 4 years back as I could not able to take what is inside me. But last week I was just contemplating on a random thought by looking at the mirror and ended up observing my eyes. I was surprised. My eyes are very clear and have life. I could able to see some spark /twinkle in them may be due to child like innocence, which I brought back into my life. I really savoured that momemt. I gave some time to digest. Honestly I am a dead person 4 years back. There used to be not even single trace of enthusiam in life. It was only fear and irrational male pride that used to rule my life. Now I can see myself as a...

Festival season is on in India. To experience the festive mood you have to be at right places. For Dasara one needs to be in Mysore or Kolkata. For Deevali one needs to be in Mumbai. For Ramzan one needs to be in Hyderabad. For kumbabeshikes one needs to be in Varanasi.  For Vinayaka Chavithi one should be in Hyderabad or Mumbai. Otherwise you can hardly feel the festive vibrancies. Due to inflation, commercialization of each and every thing which thus created additional burden on middle class people is affecting the festive mood slowly. Some people are already showing signs of not actively participating /contributing to the festive mood. I sometimes wonder how I could teach my children about what festival means and why do we celebrate festivals. Last 3 years I was in Bangalore, place where festivals are just restricted to house- holds and mostly to half days. This year I am back to Hyderabad and I can feel the festival mood two to three days before the festival.  F...

Trivikram Srinivas does not need any introduction to people who watch Telugu movies. For those who do not know him, the wikipedia link is here . Having come from engineering back ground it took some time for me to appreciate the art work. From last couple of years I am roaming with people who are more inclined to art works. I started practicing playing flute and after some time I took interest in sketching and painting. Any art form requires conscious observation of the surroundings. Without paying attention to the surroundings one cannot become a artist. Coming back to Trivikram Srinivas , I used to enjoy his witty humorous one liners and serious elaborations in all his movies. But never realized what it takes to come up with such stuff. Writing such stuff comes so naturally and so easily to him.Check out the following videos of his speeches: Trivikram Srinivas talking about Siri vennela seeta rama Sastry : Trivikram Srinivas talking about Illayaraja: http://www.youtube.c...
