Routine for Life!

I face my dragons everyday
I find the courage to chase them away.
I stop, I breath, I center, I observe;
I challenge my thinking when it's absurd.

I find the spirit that is truly me
And serve the world to set it free.

I don't have to do what I've always been
I learn and grow and that's how I win.

- Larry Wilson, 2004

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...

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....

( 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?...
