Addiction and YOUR life

Have you played in a lake with friends without knowing how to swim? You might hesitate when you go for the first time. It is not because you can’t swim but because you will feel the water is very dirty. You will anyway go because people are already there. You can freely go up to your knee level water. It is easy and safe too but you won’t stop there.

You will be little careful and watch your steps when you move further. It is a pure joy when you stand at waist level water and splashing the water with your hands. You can go deeper with the help of your friends who can swim well. You can spot a rock inside which is used for washing cloths during summer and you can stand on it confidently. Of course, at chest level water, floating your hands over the water surface is a pleasure of different kind. There is a little danger as the waves can make you imbalance. Remember, even the few feet water is enough to get you drowned when you lose your control.



Getting addicted to a thing is like walking inside the lake without the possibility of swimming and nothing to help when needed. Addiction is going deeper and deeper into something without the thought for return. There is a bliss at a point where it won't leave you without disturbing the normal.

You should get addicted to your desires to actualize them. You can be sure that it will eventually kill you physically and psychologically. But that is the only way you define YOUR life and the defined ones are remembered.

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...

December Rain - 4

I can query a bit, question a little more, but I don't go any further. I stay with no question at a point where I know I can attempt an inch deeper but I stop there to make myself comfortable and letting all that needs to be questioned and answered be God. Why do people get old, struggle to live and yet no courage to die? Even the divine Soul trembled and cried on the cross in spite of knowing that He would get the eternal of it. Such is the greatness of addiction to this life, the feel of everyday's incompleteness and the longing for the tomorrow. Of course, the breathing of an old man may take a bunch of viruses from the air and save few kids from getting infected. I mean, there is a reason for everything.  For me, the "cigarette smoking causes cancer" shown before the movie is one of the most annoying advertisements - it is ugly. If anything needs to be fixed properly, it has be to dealt at the root. How about stop making cigarettes and have a law to give dea...

My Book Shelf - Year 2017

I find it difficult to get this reading order. And I guess it would be still harder to read them without changing the order. I may allow one or two new books to be included in this list, if required. Share book reviews and ratings with Kovil Pillai, and even join a book club on Goodreads.
