the Real the Illusion The Periyar

The Kedarnath 2013 incident was real and so was the Mumbai 2005 heavy rain. They were just news and few seconds video clips for me. The Chennai 2015 floods were not as bad as other incidents. Just like everyone here, I too tried to help the affected. There could be Kedarnath 2016 or Mumbai 2017 but I guess I’ll remain not bother about it much even if it happens.

Do you remember the Tamil Nadu election 2016? My colleagues, friends, neighbours and people I saw in public places were all talking about change. If you count these people and compare it with real votes, the result is ridiculous, the opposite of what people talked. The illusions!

The world is full of illusions that we see as real and the reals that we see as illusions. Once upon a time, the earth was flat! Whether something is real or illusion, if is not good for the society it has to be eradicated. The change in people's mind is a real challenge. You need the time, money, support people, circumstances... to make even a little change.

I wonder how challenging it is to fight against the thousands of year old systems like religion and caste which are made into the fundamental values of our lives and making positive changes in the society. True leader.

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
