Waves


I was standing in the Beach near the Ashtalakshmi Temple in Besant Nagar.
As the waters touched my feet, a lot of thoughts flew by. I felt that the waves were talking to me. A compilation of those .....

1st Wave: Hey Sweet heart!! Long time since I saw you. Come Let me first wash your feet.
2nd Wave: Ooh!! Your feet are tired. They have been bearing such burden.
3rd Wave: Let me draw some sand beneath you!! Don't worry. Its not your grave but your base to stand firm.
4th Wave: Your ankles are a total wreck. Why have you been so nervous?
5th Wave: I have carried rolling stones from every part of this world. I am unaware of their origin. Care to have a look?
6th Wave: Let me climb higher to cool you off.
7th Wave: I am not sure of my own strength. When I come near you, I lose myself and surrender in your feet.
8th Wave: Are you a mighty person to resist the temptations I carry within!!
9th Wave: I cannot ease out the pains in your heart. But I can soothe the nerves that reach your heart.
10th Wave: I keep coming to you on and on. Whether you love me or not.
11th Wave: You kick me. Yet I come to you.
12th Wave: You might get bored of me. Yet I will continue to come to you. And keep beckoning you back to me.
13th Wave: I never gave up on you. But I won't say "you don't have the right to give up on me".
14th Wave: I have no gaurantee that you will be there when I come back. Yet I am so happy that you are there atleast now when I came.
15th Wave: I am not sure if the wind is carrying me to you. Or I carry the wind to you.
16th Wave: There are many who are standing on me. Yet I love to be with you the most.
17th Wave: Look at the Boats. They are all dependant on me. Yet I don't carry the pride about it. I still surrender at your feet.
18th Wave: Ever wondered what the bubbles are which I bring to you. Its just my bubbling love for you.
19th Wave: I have been blowing my kisses in form of bubbles at your feet right from the moment you stepped inside. I don't expect you to do the same.
20th Wave: You might say I am salty. And find me difficult to accept. No Problem.
21st Wave: I accept you as your are. And love you for who you are.
22nd Wave: The air might fill your ears. For what it did, you may even hate me.
23rd Wave: The sand which I leave at your feet are my tokens of love placed lovingly.
24th Wave: I have offered everything I have to you and expect nothing in return from you. Even if you give me anything I accept it as such.
25th Wave: I cannot follow you when you leave me. You need your space. So long as I am where I ought to be, we love each other. In my curiosity to meet you, if I come to you?? Well, people call it tragedy.
Final Wave: Good bye dear love. Not to worry. I am here always for you. Look deep inside you. I am within you also. When ever you are sad, I will come to you. Through your eyes.
Good Bye!! Don't forget!! I am your ultimate friend. I will always be there for you!!

Memories of my Baby shower

Today, my cousin asked me the significance of having a Traditional Baby shower...as I was talking to her..memories of my "poochoottal, Poomsuvana Semanthonanyanam, Valaikaapu" came flooding in. The ausipicious day was fixed as 16th March 2011. My In laws and Parents were in full swing getting things ready for the event. What kept me engaged was shopping for myself..guess what I never did shopping for my wedding..only for my baby shower :-). Bangles, blouses, return gifts, hairdo kit..etc... I had almost memorized verbatim the significance of the function as mentioned in http://www.trsiyengar.com/id156.shtml We had the Sumangali Pooja on 13th march.

Sasthi-Abda-Poorthi

Y'day "Ammumma" (Grand mom) called up to remind me that my uncle is completing 60 years of his presence on this earth today. "Sasthi-Abda-Poorthi", She said. I knew the meaning, but not its significance. So I searched for some info, and Look what I found.. Turning sixty is a social-religious event in India especially in south. Shashtiabdapoorthi is a family event, when a 're-marriage 'of the couple, is performed .This unusual custom marked by rituals, reverberating with the 'mantras ' is spiritually and mentally rejuvenating for a couple who are 'graduageing'. Witnessed by the next generaton,it is a social event that reflects continuity. When a person reaches 60, he is in the year of the same name as in which he was born and hence the successful completion of one cycle. So, we give thanks for this longivity and pray for a trouble-free old age. The social, religious and spiritual connotations of this function When a man turns
