" O star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to Thy perfect light "

One Year!
The clock ticks on, in its frantic sprint to nowhere,
And it already dragged me long 363 days along with it,
Here I am, hurt all over in its mad rush - a victim of vicious circle of time !
(It is one year since I left Bangalore and came back Home :))
ഓണാശംസകൾ!
കാടും, കടലും
കൃഷിയും, കാവും
കവിതയും, കവിയരങ്ങും
കളരിയും, കഷായവും
കഥകളിയും, കൃഷ്ണനാട്ടവും
കാലവർഷവും, കർക്കടക കഞ്ഞിയും
കറുകയും, കണികൊന്നയും,
കായലും, കുളവും
കമ്മ്യൂണിസവും, കള്ളും
എല്ലാം കവിഞ്ഞൊഴുക്കുന്ന കൊച്ചു കേരള കരയിൽ നിന്നെന്റെ ഹൃദയം നിറഞ്ഞ ഓണാശംസകൾ!

Ganges

Cows
swimming across Ganges

I sat down at the Ghat of Kashi Mutt, watching those waters –
With Ceaseless Currents;
Unperturbed by anything above or below;
Neither getting attached to anything, Not getting tied down by anyone;
Cleansing everything on its way;
Worshipped by the Gods and Saints alike;
Resonating like the Vedic chants in the pre-dawn silence;
Divine Ganges is flowing – flowing into our souls.
I took a deep breath. Holding it, I slowly immersed myself into those Waters.
It was freezing cold with strong under currents; Yet, my whole body, from head to toe was experiencing a mystic feel.
I am flowing with Gangama; I am dissolving into Gangama;
What was felt relevant in life all seemed to disintegrate into irrelevant particles – there are no bonds, no worries, no happiness, no pain, no suffering.
It is just a tremendous flow of unfathomable energy in ultrasonic speed – probably the true essence of life!
There I am – With my “I” getting washed away from me!
Happy Days
For all the pain collected over our drilling working days,
Here are few blissful "Holy Days" to sanctify ourselves :)
So, take a pause, ponder, relish, retrospect and take a sigh.
Before we scatter again into bits and bytes,
Lets Celebrate these God gifted days !
Wish you all Good Friday, Happy Easter and an Enriching Vishu!
