Brave Face

Sunny Day.
Early Morning.
Shaving.
Trying for a voguish look.
Accident!
Cut my Mustache. :-(
Wife's reaction( Abbbaaaaaa! Karma! ) - Priceless!

Though i'm not a smasher and doesn't worth a second look, I believed that this mustache is something which is saving me from looking like a Shrek.

As a person with social responsibility, tough job is to publish this  Cleanly shaven, Shrek Look-alike face to the outside world. At last, i have put my brave foot forward and reached office. Some one laughed out like hell and some were shocked. Some were passing comments and some other were just smiling.By evening, i got used to the look and i almost forgot about the accident, till a person came so close and started smiling(ok, laughing) at my face.

While going from office, a traffic police was stopping all the two wheelers, and as usual, i  put a brave face and parked my vehicle . As i was taking my wallet out, he said "You Go" (yes, in English). While he was talking to others in Telugu, he not only asked me to leave in English, but didn't check any of my papers.(Tomorrow, first thing is to renew my bike insurance). I never knew that cops would be so kind towards mustache-less guys.Else, i wouldn't have spent hundreds of bucks on them (I got my driving license recently after  20 years. Different Story altogether)

After all, with this mustache-less face, i finally scored a point and saved some bucks. But again, with out mustache, do i look like a organized guy  who carries all the documents?? :( 

Later, i took my wife to the Doc for a regular checkup and surprisingly Doc has started conversation in Hindi. It took sometime for me to understand that it's again  my look that confused her. As i started talking, i guess she was able to recognize me and responded in Telugu.

In the coming days (till i grow a mustache),  i guess, i need to narrate more and more mustache tales.

Nomadic Inner Life

I let my mind wander wherever it wants — into places judged right or wrong, meaningful or meaningless. Rules have never bound me; it’s not that I reject them, I simply lack the energy or will to follow them. Laziness, perhaps, but also a quiet indifference. Whether it’s daily rituals like pooja or even personal hygiene, I never gave them much importance. Pain or discomfort I endure until it becomes unbearable, only then do I seek help. I accept such things as karma rather than reshaping my lifestyle. I am reckless with myself, not out of rebellion but out of carelessness. I’ve never found a compelling reason to change. When I see organized, disciplined people, I feel happiness for them and a deep respect. Yet I never feel inspired to follow their path. I simply don’t care enough. Maybe some hidden trauma shaped this indifference, dulling my sense of urgency toward life. Or maybe this is just who I am — a wanderer of mind and habit, respecting order but never seeking to own it.  But...

Khairiyat

When i work, often i leave the choice of music to Youtube  and now i'm stuck with this song. While everything sounds so soothing in Arijit's voice, it is the lyric that caught my attention. Agar Ishq Se Hai Mila, Phir Dard Se Kya Gila Is Dard Mein Zindagi Khush-haal Hai, Yeh Dooriyaan Filhaal Hain Writing is an art!

BIKSHAIPATHIRAM by IIlaiyaraja

Was listening to IIlaiyaraja 's Ramana Malai and got addicted to the tune of "BIKSHAIPATHIRAM". Could understand the meaning of the first few lines. With the help of a Tamil friend, could get the translation of the song. Blessed! Toggle Translation BIKSHAIPATHIRAM - this literally means the vessel which the beggars use for begging.... BIKSHAIPATHIRAM ENTHI VANTHAEN ...AYYANE EN AYYANE I have come carrying the bikshapathiram .. ayyane .. ayyane... ( it can be termed as guru .. father... ) PINDAM ENUM ELUMBODU SATHAI NARAMBU UTHIRAMUM ADANGIYA UDANMBENUM  BIKSHAIPATHIRAM ENTHI VANTHAEN ...AYYANE EN AYYANE Carrying the body with bones nerves muscles blood as bikshapathiram ... I have come carrying the bikshapathiram .. ayyane .. ayyane... BIKSHAIPATHIRAM ENTHI VANTHAEN ...AYYANE EN AYYANE AMMAIYUM APPANUM THANTHATHA...  is that bikshapathiram given by mom & dad ? ILLAI AADHIYIN VALVINAI SOOZHTHATHA  or it is cause from the deeds of our roots?...
