Elan's Blog
March 13, 2010
- The day has begun lazily and I am in a mood to blog. But when there is nothing in mind and when the sunday is susegad (means a relaxed day in Goan language), I am wondering what to write!It is rare to find such a day; when the mind is blank and free of any kind of thoughts. Its bliss; a state of continuous thought less state; the body relaxed and one is at peace with self and surrounding. I ...

- I am not superstitious, not at all. I do not believe that if people in close proximity sneezed just when I am about to go out of the house, I should stop and sit for a while before I proceeded. Neither do I believe that I should start a journey only on an auspicious day nor I should halt my walk midway; just because a cat happened to cross my road. I do not believe in lady luck either ...

- "Sumathi, Have you ever tried Bhang?" My friend's husband asked as we squatted on the ground to have our dinner."Bhang! Yes! No! I don't think I ever got a chance to taste Bhang." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhang"Let us celebrate Holi with Bhang ! Let us enjoy!" My friend got excited and she insisted on having bhang ki tandai."Its a bad intoxication I can say ...

- My dear,Yes, I have been away doing various things. Believe me each one of you were in my thoughts. Each remembered for the sweet moments we shared with each other. They were amazing times and this very redroom stands as a mute testimony to our great moments of sharing knowledge and fun. Getting to know each was fun, it was like in school days, how we used to be inquisitive to know each ...

- Winter for me isn't about Santa Clause or Christmas Carols. it is neither about christmas stars nor stuffed turkey. It is also not about visiting friends or wine and dine.It is for me a fight for a breath of air, a struggle to survive winter after winter. When the cold wind blows, I take cover in dark blankets and keep indoor. When I suffer from an asthmatic attack I crave for the free oxygen, ...

- My first blog at Bloggers!Hence let me begin with a happy note, and talk about a success story. I have always believed in hard work, more than that I believed depending on self to get a work done. Dream first, imagine to plan, visualize the plan, write to give a skeleton to the plan, edit to work it out, begin the action through self, keep editing and imagining and planning and working till you ...

- Raichur visit has transformed us! The disgust we felt about the filth and scattered plastic at Raichur has taken the path of concern. The scattering of plastic is dangerously on the rise and we are greatly concerned. The next day I went to school and I got a free hour to spend with my class. I began talking to my students about my visit and the scenario there, the plastic and the recent floods in ...

- I am on the move. I am travelling. No big deal, right!? But to me it is because I have stepped out of my coccooned life and I have travelled to Raichur, a small town in the border of Karnataka. The bus ride to Raichur was a nightmare for my Australian friend xxxx. We went on a roller skater ride along the bumpy roads on the outskirts. We were fascinated by the vast country side , the plains, the ...

- My affair with Redroom started in the month of November, year 2008. I remember I was dumbstruck as I signed into Redroom, looking at all those famous author profiles and the blogs of the members. I watched like a kid in front of a candy store. I had admired and wondered how these great authors wrote and wrote. Though I had signed in Redroom in November, I was an occasional visitor, too shy to ...

- I am not in the habit of making a big fuss about my birthday. But I thought of breaking the routine and give it a go. So I dressed well and went to school. The wishes began right from the school gate, because people understood something was amiss. Seeing me in my finery obviously was like a wall poster that one could not miss reading. I liked it, contrary to my behavior I met my colleagues and ...

- India celebrates Diwali today. It sure is a great Diwali. I too am celebrating, but a silent one, with light oil lamps. I look out the Balcony and watch People moving about in their fineries and bursting crackers non stop adding to sound pollution. The honking of the Bus drivers and Cab drivers is nothing compared to what is happening right now outside my window. My dog Lucky is frightened, ...

- When one ponders deep, about life in general, life moves on an individual basis. In city life, a nuclear family has still again fragmented itself into a single nucleus and that is the self. Look around and we find everyone fighting one’s own battle for existence; of course exceptions are there, and I am not touching them. We have stopped looking out and have closed our eyes to our ...

- Oregon tribe recognizes same-sex marriage Recently stumbled upon this news entry and wondered how many countries recognise same -sex marriage? While the institution of marriage itself is in shaky grounds morally, will this new venture stand fast?Illegally the practice has been happening for ages, Will legalising it serve the institution any benefit? I wonder....!Let us look into dimensions, each ...

- Where can I go with a shattered dream,that I had nurtured and lovingly grown.Fed with hope, nourished with optimism cajoled with love, and sunlit beams.Whom should I narrate my tale of woe,of a love that had craved my love,All planned well I had hoped so,but that love never reached my toe. Where should I dump my aching heart,whom I had fooled in the days past, Now the hope is gone, ...

Frustrated in generalwith life around him, not that he mentioned these ...
