Remembering Ramadasu

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 :)

What went wrong?

It has been a few months that I bought this book - Essentialism by Greg McKeown . I found the book very realistic and baring the naked truth of my life in my face. But could not get even half way through it... as usual, got distracted with the non-essentials in my, after all, plain Jane life. I hate to say this but my life is mundanely simple. There are no excitements, no yahoo moments, not much of travel, no great social connect either. But I do have a bunch of good friends. Interestingly, I have picked up good friends in all walks of my life. I am neither a chatty kind nor a monk. And, am happy for the fact that my friends do not hate me. I do not offer opinions and advises, unless specifically asked for. Nor do I criticize anybody 'coz I do not know what the other person is/was caught up in. In a nutshell, I do not waste my energy on this stuff. And, I am meticulous in whatever work I am given to do. These are a few things that I am proud of. Well, coming back to the book in re...

Kshema's 7 Quick Takes Friday (Volume 02/2015)

--- 1 --- There's a disconnect between my mind and body. My mind wants to express and my hands do not cooperate. The week was not-so-good, though it was not particularly bad also. I haven't suffered any set backs, but still, something inside me dissatisfied....... with things, happenings, doers and circumstances; but surprisingly not with myself, which is not the case always. --- 2 --- Relevance While reading Mitch Albom's "The Time Keeper", towards the end of the novel, I found the flow of story very interesting that probed me to think of the relevance of the plethora of things we do in our lives. The novel is story about Father Time, an old wealthy man and a young girl, all of them unrelated to each other in time and space; each of their story runs parallely throughout. The old wealthy man who is terminal, strategizes to freeze his own body beyond time, so that he can turn alive in future when a sure shot cure is invented for his ailment. For this he ...

I am Mridula Chirmule

I walk down the memory lane Every now and then... I feel I am Mridula Chirmule When I wear a sari and tie my curls in a ponytail When I drive my scooter wearing a sari When I wrap the pallu of my sari on my left hand while driving the scooter And I drive away in dignity with a straight posture and firm expressions, but with a smile I feel I am Mridula Chirmule When I say "I don't like dishonesty, I don't tolerate indiscipline", Specially, to my juniors Yet, mentor them with affection And they warm up to me in return I feel I am Mridula Chirmule When I don't care about my career progression But do not compromise with my work When I put my foot down firmly on what I believe No matter what people say, workaholic, level headed, upfront, overreacting... I feel I am Mridula Chirmule My Mridula Chirmule is a beacon to me And I look upto her any time and always I am fortunate for sure, for I have her Because God smiled on me And I try to emulate myself to that beacon...
