Beyond Survival

How blessed your life is! There are people to take care of you even before you know yourself, if not God, it starts from your parents. You find friends. You learn from teachers. You meet people who can guide you. You are given laws and rules to live better life. If you look a little deeper you will realise that everyone and everything are actually preparing you to survive better in this world.

No doubt, you still make your impression on the things you do. You still grow and reach higher states. Yet it is only on the same survival ground but at different level. You go on surviving until the eventuality releases you from the pangs of dragging life. No matter how comfortable, how successful the walk of your life is, if the road is paved by someone else and you are directed on it, then I call it a survival walk, survive to show your presence to the world. Can you escape from this and walk on your own direction? Definitely yes, that is what called as dreams and that is what meant to be the completeness of life itself. Your dream not necessarily go down in history as one of the greatest realisations. It could just mean nothing to everyone else. That is the very nature of it.

Beyond Survival

What are your dreams? Nobody can see and tell you that. Nor you know it before it hits you - just like a girl from nowhere, matching none of the guy's expectations and wishes, entering into his life and instantly mean everything to him. Take time, pay attention and be mindful of your inner conversation because that is where your dreams are waving its hands to you. It is a mystery that it is designed in this way. But then that is how it is. Don't let them wither away by not listening to them. There is a new happiness - you redefine happiness when you walk on your dreams.

You are absolutely capable of following your dreams. Beware of dream crushers. This world can effortlessly knock your dream right out of you. Because the dream doesn't have past. The path would be unclear and the lost paths would haunt you. Your faith would be shaken. But fear not, it is always the magic. Once you are in, the dreams can propel you forward. The more you trust the more the realisation of it. Go on, trust God, He is the ultimate gap filler when you know not what to do. There is no losing. There is no survival. There is only living. Don't let your dreams get buried in the graveyard, unnoticed. Live your dream, YOUR life!

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
