Legally "Mine"

Nearly 20 days now and I’ve not posted on my blog. Though a relief for my readers, I’m loosing out on the immense pleasure that rushes in my veins, when the ink exudes on to the paper. The very reasons that kept me away from my blog have been the driving point in this post.

When I sat back, letting my feet wet, by the tiny droplets of rain percolating through the plastic roof of my balcony and thought, over a cup of hot badam milk, did I realize, the reasons that mired my literary escapades being, a religious function at my house, the technological overloading as part of an ambitious effort to put my “CAREER” an TRACK, the myriad of Sporting Actions on the television (The Premier League, Olympics and the !dea Cricket Cup), the dose of viral symptoms for this calendar served against my will to post on my blog. But most important and comprehensible reason was that I stayed away from my “Corner”.

Yeah, the 2”X6” mat at the corner of the Room, which I share with my 83 year old Grandmother, is my WORKAREA, the Place where my feelings become words, and words into a statement. This is the only place that offers me SPACE and DIMENSION to my thought and I literally mean it.

This humble piece of floor mat, is the only thing I can proudly call as ‘MINE’. A precious MINE, where I dig, smolder and Cast the deepest and multifaceted observations of mine.

An Anniversary with the Adversary

Feb 14 th evoked a lot of mixed and vexed emotions in me, not for the reason that I share my first name with the culture honcho Muthalik, but it was exactly a year before this Date, I met ‘HER’…. Yes HER refers to that special someone…. Many of you might know her, she’s pretty famous these days, but what u wouldn’t know is that I’m dating her… No, she’s not BulBul… This post is a Memoir of the bygone year with her, a repertoire of experiences she’s enriched me with… I intended to post on Valentine's Day itself, but because of the demanding nature of hers I was forced to stay away from the internet, and celebrate our anniversary elsewhere. I met her, for the first time on Feb 13 2008, She was at the HR room in the 5 th floor of my office, waiting for me there; after a couple of mins of talk, I sensed we were getting closer, I didn’t expect that it would be such, that she would be mine henceforth. I felt a Déjà vu when I saw her, I felt I had met her befor...

Life in a Belly!!

We are gifted unlike other animals to perform different tasks that are beyond our natural abilities and habitat and also live a life out the physical, mental, geographical and intellectual boundaries of birth. We basically have an option to live a life and adopt a lifestyle that we wish to, unlike our lesser privileged subordinates of the evolution tree. We can be a fish that swims; an ape that jumps; a bird that flies or a bull that tows and tugs, and drive by this need or feel we are or we wish to be something and somebody our body and mind is comfortable with, and it should remain so. Animals on the other hand do not enjoy this freedom, they are anatomical and physically of the same build, and irrespective of their emotional need they are bound be restricted by certain limitations of their physiology. There are no skinny elephants, or fat lions or furry lizards, unless of course their geographical and evolutionary needs drive them to mutate into another species altogether....

Bharatha as I see it..

I’m writing this post, inspired by a whatsapp argument I had with my bunch of friends. I wanted to pen my thoughts independent of an argument cause its easier to be carried away by the heat of the argument and one might misquote or misinterpret one’s understanding of a subject as grey as the Mahabharata. The main issue of contention was that the idea of Kauravas vs the Pandavas, and how the whole of Mahabharatha was biased towards glorifying the Pandavas. My friends also opined that Pandavas had no legal right over the throne of Kuru vamsha.  I would like to clarify that Pandavas never staked claim to the throne of Hastinapur, being valid and rightful Princes of the Kuru vamsha they sought rightful co-existence with the Kauravas. The only rightful character in the whole of Mahabharata after Shantanu who had all the qualities of a King but choose to forego the same over a promise he had made to his father and step-mother Bhishma was supposed to take care of both Dritharastra’s...
