December Rain - 5

I am the very definition of Hell when I am physically decayed, mentally destroyed and monetarily zeroed. Will I choose to die then? No. Now I am missing neither Hitler nor Mother Teresa nor Steve Jobs in this world. Will the world is going to miss me? Never. It is not the fear of dying. It is not the hope for the better future. I just stay. I breathe in and breathe out as if only the Creation can decide upon the final one. I merely live, wishing and praying for my death every day. God.
I have no family. No money. I beg for it. It is tougher for the people to give Rs. 10 to me than to put Rs. 1000 in the holy offering box. That is reasonable, after all, I give nothing to those who help me while the Other one is the everything for them. I am still happy. My life is better than many. I don't have much to worry. Summer, winter...the seasons don't hurt my health much. I merely live, wishing and praying for my death every day. God.
I live in this old age home. Now and then people visit me and my fellow inmates. They talk, play, sing, dance and take photos to make us happy. At times, I wonder whether I am just another Zoo thing but no, it really free us from the worries at least momentarily. I am unhealthy. The pain of doing physical things is inexpressible. Still more painful are the faces and words of my family who gave me up! The beggar on the road is living better life than mine. I merely live, wishing and praying for my death every day. God.
December Rain 5
I am very old and confined to bed. I am alone all the times. All my family members are busy. I have people at home to find time to curse me for not dying. I hear, I cry yet I laugh and smile for the loved ones. My secret tears that I bury under the day's light are very lively on my heart, piercing every soul of it. People in the old age home are living better life than mine. I merely live, wishing and praying for my death every day. God.
I have money. I have space in my home. Can I take a begging old man to my home and take care of him as my own grandfather, at least as long as I can? I don't see visiting old age home on weekends helping them much. Can I take a person to my home and make the person part of my life. What can be done for those lonely tears? Ok, ok, wake up, this is ridiculous. I don't need "புத்தே ளுலகத்துà®®் ஈண்டுà®®் பெறலரிதே ஒப்புரவின் நல்ல பிà®±". I need to invest my time and money on my future. Someone will take care of other things, either out of love or as a business!

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...

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 2013

Though it looks very much similar to the previous years, it is still not the same. My wish list for 2013 :) Very much addicted to the the lovely voice in Um Paadham Panithen , words of God Will Make a Way , music and lyrics of Oru Naalil Vazhkai and the messages of Joel Osteen will continue to listen them, repeatedly.  Hoping to watch lots of videos of Marissa Mayer. Like one of my friends Madhavi, she is very energetic, enthusiastic, quick and inspiring.  It is between 72 - 75 kgs for the past five years and it is fine for me. Though I am less confident about it, hoping to remain in that range.  I should write at least one blog in every month.  I read few good books in 2012 and I should read at least 12 books in 2013 and write a summary of it. Here is the list of books I have (yet to read almost all of them) Unlike last year, after listening to my colleague Muthukumaran , decided to attend the weddings (reception - only if attending the wedding is not pos...
