Jenny will go

Goal setting is one of the toughest things as it involves the creation of harmony between the heart and mind - the one sees the beauty in the absence of reasoning and the other exhibits the reasons and gets delighted. The stronger the heart's desire, the harder the obstacles the mind sees. Which one wins is what determines your achievement.

You dream of a palace and bring all the resources that can make it real – heart will drive the mind to make things real. You can also dream of it with the resources you have – mind will check the facts and stats and will give the heart a desire. Of course, either way you can build the palace, either way you can personally satisfied. But there is a clear difference, the choice is yours, including seeing the difference.

Karl Marx, the communist revolutionary, had the goal set. What resulted was more than what he envisaged. The real goals are often that sort. The heart sees the unknown picture. You have the seed and you dream the tree. In between is what the goal is – grow into a tree. It is just the journey. All you have to do is to bring your every bit of energy to move in the direction. That was what Karl Marx did. Right from his college days, his direction was communism. The mind sees the obstacles and overcoming it what makes the journey interesting, the real happiness is just there and not at the end.

Jenny’s letters to Karl Marx are the testimonial to their struggle throughout their life. Poverty and illness were with them forever. But Karl Marx's direction had never changed. He wasn’t rich. He hadn’t had too many friends. But then, Marxism - the tree, is visible.

Jenny had to be away from Karl Marx on most of their later part of life. Not just Jenny, there were few of his friends and so many things that had to go away from him to enable him walk in the direction. He walked in the midst of obstacles. Whether it is the so called "written" or your absolutely perfect decision, Jenny - the things that usually can't go away - will go when the heart needs it go.

The Kite Runner

Usually, I buy and read book suggested by my friends but no one suggested me to read the book "The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini". I neither heard about it before I accidentally bought it. I was looking for the books I planned to buy in the Chennai Bookfair 2011 and I found this book . There was something attractive, though it was not as beautiful as of many of the books cover design, it should be the cover of it, because all I could see was only the book cover. I took it in my hand and asked myself, should I buy this?, yes was the answer and I bought it. I completed reading this book last week, after keeping it the shelf for almost 2 years. I am glad I got this book. It is one of best books I read in the recent years. The phrase " For you, a thousand times over " lingering in the mind is the proof that I really enjoyed reading this book and moved so much ;) " I became what I am today at the age of twelve, on a frigid overcast day in the winter of 1975 &

New Year Resolution 2015

Another new year, another ( same! ) set of new year resolutions. I wanted to read Thirukural and set target 50 last year but couldn't achieve it. But then I used one Kural in my every blog post . New Year Resolution List: For year 2016, I should shorten it to at least 1/3 of this list. At least, make it more readable ;) Reading Books: Book reading is going to be reduced this year. I am planning to reread few of the books I read last year. Of course, will find time to read books suggested by friends. I have got Bhagavad Gita tamil version from my friend and might read this before the end of 2015. I Am Malala, The Last Temptation of Jesus Christ, Mossad, 'The Madman, The Forerunner, Spirits Rebellious', Yudhargal Varalaarum Vaazkaiyum, If You Meet The Buddha On The Road Kill Him are few of the books I enjoyed reading. By the way, I have changed the FB album title from "Books I read" to "Books I read - Not To Be Shared" ;) Accounting: How difficu
