Anbe Sivam

Hii

As I sat extremely disturbed at the Pahalgam incidence which thoughtlessly snuffed out 26 innocent lives, on 22nd April 2025 there was a post in one of the friend's whatsapp group in which one of my friend mentioned the following:

Anbe Sivam, what the world truly is just love. Nothing more. Nothing less. What do you think ? Is love enough.

Today's blogging is my reply to the above...

Anbe Sivam

It's a beautiful portmanteau. With the present and earlier many happenings too, I wonder the releavance of this portmanteau though..

This would be significant only if it is used by all. A few follow this and few follow just the opposite theology and wreck havoc on the lives of the others who believe in Anbe Sivam.

Though it is a very optimistic statement, it may not hold relevance to the radicals, incapable of thinking sense and spreading terror, affecting innocent families who had absolutely no inkling of the evil in the minds of the few. The dreams and hopes of these innocent lives and families is irreversible. I wonder- Where is Love? Many father's lost their son, Many son's lost their fathers, uncles, brothers, nephews, husbands or just human beings.. the efforts of the mother's who gave their might, spent sleepless nights in bringing up these humans from birth. Can we imagine their plight. Where is Love? What would be there in their minds when we speak about Love? Still the perpetrators are at large and don't know how many more. For them it was like playing a computer game - playing shoot and kill. Where is Love! Animals have shown us better Love.

But yes with my friend's  well wish, May be there is HOPE!

Of course the conversation continued with many other friend's giving their own opines some in favor and some felt it could be changed only if the future humans have chips embedded in them that can be reset like a computer. 

I felt probably we can hide the truth by wishful thinks, but the core truth remains in the form of action- good or bad and we the descendants of sapiens are known for destruction from the time first form of human species evolved.

 The conversation concluded with these remarks from my friend and I hope she proves right and I am wrong:

Humans are born with the ability to learn and re learn until death. And we can reset ourselves to be better versions at any point for as long as we still have the ability to think. Of course mere wishful isn't going to change the world just as a fancy star studded music concert for world peace will never bring peace.

However, instead of twiddling our thumbs over the state of the world and doomsday phobia, what if..we ensured peace in our own lives. Shed the petty stuff and suddenly life opens up. Peace is in microcosms 

Amen!

Just piece of cloth

 Hii I am just a piece of cloth I am just a piece of cloth the comfort I give to the humans is unimaginable without me they would be nowhere I hide their modesty, I adorn each of their activity.. but I am just a piece of cloth The basis of a war like Mahabartha is just me I am just a piece of cloth When someone tried Vastraharanam of Draupadi the big war happened...but yet I am just a piece of cloth.. I give solace to the biting cold and the sweltering sun.. I am just a piece of cloth.. Men and women are judged of who they are based on the type of me.. I am the status symbol of the rich.. I am just a piece of cloth.. when things go wrong..it's told don't wash dirty linen in public.. there again I surface virtually... I am just a piece of cloth In marriages too.. I am the actual bride or the groom.. because everything revolves around me.. I am just a piece of cloth I am a women's friend too....when they celebrate, when they stress out.. and as they buy me afresh, I give sola...

Kolkatta and Jamshedpur Diaries

18/04/22 Ride from airport to Nizam Palace- touring officer’s hostel. Completely in contradiction to what I thought about Kolkata. The bridges and roads from the airport were all very neat and painted Blue and white. Honestly, I thought it would be dirty. Another surprise was full fledged service of old ambassador car all painted Yellow. First to visit was Ma Kali Mandir at Dakshineswar. She had her tongue out yet she looked very beautiful in her blue and golden zari saree and beautifully bejeweled. The temple architecture was quite different from what i had seen in the southern parts of India. It was painted light yellow and maroon red in the borders. From there we went to see Howrah bridge. This was an iron structure which encapsulated my imagination. I always wanted to walk on this bridge and it was truly fascinating with beautiful Hoogly river beneath. It was an exhilarating feeling. From there we boarded Heritage cruise for one and half hours from 6.00 P.M on the Hoogly riv...

Om Ganapathaye namah

Hiii I keep writing many of my thoughts, experiences etc but all at different locations, so thought of compiling it in the form of blog. Today being the first day of my blogging, for me by default, It has to start with my favorite deity, who is more like a friend to me.  The first temple of Ganesha I use to visit often was Pillayur kovil at K.K. Nagar , subsequently moved to Adyar and the signal Ganapathy at Adyar junction came in to my life . As I moved to Hyderabad, there again I cannot forget the cute Ganesha at a temple in Begumpet, Hyderabad. The idol was quite different and we could relate it to so well.  As I returned back in  Chennai, the Pilliar kovil at Indira nagar Adyar came to my rescue. I always felt the need for Ganesha temple around my place of stay.  My next move was to Mumbai, and there  the orange clad idol with cute black eyes of Siddhi Vinayak temple Prabhadevi Mumbai became my source of rejuvenation and this form of Ganesha came to my mind ...
