This birth of you is for me

“This birth is only for Kalagnar Karunanidhi” is the statement from his personal assistant Shanmuganathan after Karunanidhi’s demise. Do you sense the heaviness of it? He had spent nearly 50 years with Karunanidhi. Yes, that is a prime part of one’s life and it truly means one life time.

I was thinking whether I remember anything similar to this. Though not exactly, I immediately got reminded of Engles. If you read about Karl Marx, you will know how much is the contribution of Engles in Marx’s life. That is no lesser than Jenny’s dedication.

Thinking a little deeper, I feel there are too many people like this. That is, people who give their entire life to someone else. Of course, one life time is not a small thing. Some people spend their entire life for some cause, some for their work, some for their people. Some give their physical presence and some give their whole thinking and some both. Giving the whole life for a single person, physically and mentally, with zero expectation of any benefit is something noble. I don’t know whether anyone can do that.

What is the point in thinking of whether to cry or not when the tear drops are already burdening the eyelashes? She spends 24 hours at home and I know she does everything for me and nothing for her. I am sure she will continue it till her last breath. She gave me life and her this life is for me. Thank you mom.

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
