E Mantra for the day/year

Oh mighty mother board, today help me go thro the 24 Hrs, without getting Compressed, Zipped up into small size files, uninterrupted due to 'power' faults.

Let the true sense of the circuitry prevail, let not the Internal devices get heated up due to undue stress on the system.

Let the power loads be uniform, the day and night un fluctuating.

Let my Software Integrate/collaborate/Converge And the many 'Bytes' of unnecessary Viruses that enter my domain be rejected.

Oh Mighty Mother Board, let me be on Screen Saver mode, that the system may recuperate so that I may offer plenty of calculations, which integrate into the outside system.

Oh, ensure that you are always 'On' with me on this.

E Guruji

Rain Drops on Roses

I am building a cottage, up in the hills, which Manasi has named thus - ‘Rain Drops on Roses’. Surendran, (the best Interior Contractor this side of the globe) is attending to it. Since the work was delayed due to certain reasons, the temporary ladder that was kept to gain access to the main ‘tree top’ area was removed, resulting in the fact that I could not climb up for designing purposes. I thought that this was for security reasons.

On my last visit there two days back with Surendran, ostensibly with the purpose of finishing the works, Surendran told me the story of the ‘Tough Monkey’ which resides there in my absence. He pointed out that he had ordered the removal of the ladder so that the Monkey cannot be in residence – as a precaution to the security of the building materials lying there. As an afterthought, he muttered – maybe the Monkey can climb thro the four pillars holding it up. He had forgotten about me, and my need to climb up. I have heard of people providing a ladder for a Monkey, but denying one???. A perfect example of ‘OVER DESIGN’, from a person with whom I normally bond aesthetically.

On your Return

On one of my travels in a friend’s car, we approached the inevitable icon of advancement in highway design and finance – the Toll Gate. The window lowered, he passed on a 50 Rupee note to the Vendor, who promptly asked the recorded question – RETURN???

‘Padachonodu Chodikyanom’ – will have to ask the Almighty, was the response from my friend.

Which brings me on to the topic – are we moving in a unidirectional path? Are there opportunities to stop, and then procrastinate, so that one may retrace his or her steps in correcting something which at an earlier point of time might have looked different with the available data then?

Or are opportunities/chances once missed in the plane of the non correctable? Is that why we make attempts to ‘make up’?

If different situations at different points of time result in varied ideas of the sense of Justice, Truth and Valor, can they be actually considered permanent, or are these virtues Dynamic to the extent of being ‘Maya – Illusion’. At what point in time should one attempt to rationalize the concept of Justness? – knowing fully well that the ever changing values will render it unfit for such classification at a later point of time.

Hello to the World

Hello everybody - it's been some time now since I Blogged. Ever moving dimensions of every day existence sometimes allow you the freedom to abandon and not do things which you actually want to do - concentrating instead on issues which you want no role in. That is how Life has been packaged - the early morning sun shine is sometimes only a beautiful ribbon on an otherwise empty package.
