The Musing Mind

--- 1 --- Oh! What a week it was! Similar to a roller coaster ride. Started the week in a freshly white washed and reorganized home. Commemorated 18 years of togetherness with my life partner on Tuesday; dined out and watched "Satyagraha" movie, good one by Prakash Jha. Wednesday to Friday were like riding a supersonic jet, which ended with my winning presentation at office. Friday night, all of sudden, I felt a strange void. This is what happens when we prepare rigorously for something and complete it successfully; after which we feel a vacuum. Was supposed to roll out this post on Friday evening as usual. But I was so tired that I did not know for how long I slept after reaching home. Missed the launch of KBC 7 too! --- 2 --- Marriage is an institution  We spent good 18 years together. I say "good" though most times were uncomfortable and unpleasant, just dotted with a few ecstatic moments. We made mistakes together, some could be rectified...

పలుకే బంగారమాయేనా, కోదండ పాణీ!! పలుకే బంగారమాయె, పిలచీన పలుకవేమి? కలలో నీ నామస్మరణ మరువ చక్కని తండ్రీ!! What soulful rendition of Kancherla Gopanna aka Bhadrachala Ramadasu, a simple yet profound devotee of Lord Shree Rama. Having listened to this devotional, emotional song, I feel as though I, you, everyone of us at some point of time or the other communicate our feelings to God in this way (this is not the exact translation or meaning of the song, for meaning and lyrics of the song, click here ) ... Oh lord of my fate, why don't you talk to me? Why don't you answer my questions? How can I forget you though I appear to have forgotten you amidst my worldly life? Who else will talk to me and soothe me when I am in pain? Who else will answer all my queries? How can I poor chap afford if your word/response becomes as costly as gold? More soon :)
