spell....hell

2006-08-12T01:52:00.000-07:00

Well here we go again, another post by the phonetic speller . But guess what, this is totally dedicated to the grandeur of the funny language, English. Ever since I was a child I dreaded the dictations (and you will know why if by any chance you gone thru my previous posts) atrocious, as my father would have it. later, as I grew up , much to my delight I came across a magical word called dyslexia(to tell you very frankly I had to type the word in ms word for a spell check) which in lay man’s terms means, a guy having a problem with words,or so they say. bliss finally I had found a solution to all my linguistic problems. since then I have been spelling my way to glory(or blasphemy, as you like it, there you are Shakespeare again).

some days ago when i left blore for hyderabad i was feeling the pangs of seperation from my brother after staying for about three months, this trigged a thought,why did i feel the lump in my throat?when change is the only constant in the world.human feelings are so dificult to desipher or should i say to comprehend.this generally happnes with people i connect to or to my alter egos, talking abt the alter egos yesterday i was talking to aakarsh abt the purpose of life and some of the unanswered questions that haunt me everyday from my awakened state to my dreams .. the questions like what am i doing and why ? is this the rite thing to do or better still is this what i want to do following the flock in its mundane grazing,with out appling any thought to it,or is there a grander purpose the supreme soul has in store which i need to yet discover and in failing to do so am i failing myself.i look around me and i see people going on with there lives as they know exactly well what they want of life or totaly oblivious of it.is ignorance bliss ? may be sometimes it atleast helps to reduce the dissonance in side.
i do not know what ,when,where or who will answer all these tumoutous quiries(till then my quest ,my thirst for the answers will go on), but when he does my journy will come to a meaning full end... the journey of a random walker.

vedas -the big bang

2006-01-01T02:56:00.000-08:00

some days back during the rigors of the exams,i was with one of my friends for group or joint study in the universal lingo,when the angel in disguise(manga) arrived and said that she too wants to contribute to the disturbance.And so as responsible students we got down to desipher the nuances of the subject ofthe morrow's exam.after much delebration it dawned upon us that we had not made any progress & that it was futile to even to try and do so 10 hrs before the massacre.so we went on to talk about hindu relegare & science.trying to explain some of the verses of "taitriya upanishad:bhramanadvalli" came to my mind,"aakashat vaau:, vaur agni, agner aapa:,aapat prithivyam,prithivyam ooshadhaya,ooshadhibhyo annam,annat purushaha".This verse i read during my 10th class when we were taught the theory of big bang or the creation of the universe,which the verse also conferms.AAKASH means not the sky but that which has magnetism & so there was magnetism which caused the gases to fused together& because of this fusion of the gases there was fire(Agni;or big bang),because of the fire there was water(this is what the big bang theory says),because of the water the fire cooled and formed land mass(Prithivi) from the land came land came vegetation(plant life) from vegetation came food(Annam) from edible things came man(Purushaha;this word has been used with reference to animal life).this similarity between both the theories & the very fact that this was propounded thousands of years ago in the vedas came to me as a big bang.From then on the vedas have lived up to there name "knowledge".

musings on the ramayana

2005-12-17T03:07:00.000-08:00

yesterday i was reading the ramayana,it occured to me "why should'nt i write about the bliss i felt reading it".No matter how many times i read the ramayan, there is always a new meaning it seems to take. Especially the part where Bharata meets sri Rama in the forest after his return from "kaikeya" .In the epic the poet(valmiki) puts such sweet words in his hero's lips,that it choks me to tears every time.Before meeting his lord Bharata is pained at the infamy that has been wrought by his mother & what explenation he would offer to sri Ram for all the wrongs done to him.But when he enters the hermitage,seeing sri Ram sitting majestically on the altar with matted locks,all the pentup miseries fades and he falls at his feet uttering just "arya".where was the necessity of any explanation,when the perfect master and the servent come together to become one.This the heighest form of love "bhakti".In the sundarkandam(4th canto) we get to witness another confluence of the devine souls,Shri Ram & Hanuman.the part where hanuman returns from Lanka after an audience with sita devi, he says"drishtva maaya sita" which in sanskrit means"seen i have sita".these words are not to be measured in dry air,the weight that these words carry are steeped in wisdom.Note he does not open his speech with "sita",to a troubled mind(shri Rama) the first thing that comes is a mishap(could be death to sita) .To avoid this,the perfect devotee starts "seen" now the question "who saw" ?, as an answer he continues "I saw" whom -"SITA". this is the eloquent genieus of Hanuman that has been portrayed by Valmiki in the epic.In the Ramcharitamanas - Tulasidas describes hanuman as "vidhyavan , guni, atichatur" these charactors are so beautifully woven in this scene.there are millions of such scenes of poetic exuberance in the epic,i shall draft some in my sucequent posts(pedestrian though) till then happy reading...
