A leading post demands many responsibilities. ‘Leading self’ need to be saved from all jeopardy. Like yoga, finding oneself intact even with variety stones thrown – some caught, some given back and some to be put in pocket and leave the rest to tumble here and there.

This is the time
There is not a better time than today. If you want to laugh, just laugh. Stay happy. There is not a better world than today. If you want to invent, just do it. Stay humble. There is not a better memory than today. If you want to relish life, just create it. Stay mesmerized. There […]
Settle
There is this time of season, when everything comes to a standstill. A writer’s incapacity to write. A haggard way persists. He tries to walk along right side of road, but he is still at the centre of road. Now, even if he tries to move right, some external force push him back. A perfect […]
Make a story
Being part of a story is nothing less! When I look back or see a group of people, story is there, one created and other to be created. But in each story there are twists, turns and at large, happy endings. The ending is happy specially because there are immense lessons learnt. This otherwise wasn’t […]
Stay
That which stays in our thoughts for long time have some significance. What we can do is introspect, question it, turn the page again and again and lastly, not the least, meditate on the same.

But, types of people vary,that is what I learnt in my journey from Thalassery to Palakkad to Chennai to US to Bangalore. That is, culture […]

Travelogue
It used to be pockets of villages nearly 30 to 40 years back in north kerala. Mostly a self sustained community resided in each pocket. Those who were outside this circle, used to be same as current metro population, depending totally on global goods. Since living was tied to a community, many aspects turned sacred, […]
All Jingles
Our greatest teacher is our just previous mistake, if we admit ! But kleptomaniacs or white lie hoarders have less to do with this concept. For them, what could be the definition of living? What’s the previous looted stuff. Was that useful or what would be my next catch? What’s the pot of prefabricated lie […]
taboo death
New facade is, why nobody openly talk about death?!!! When a person dies, there isn’t any change physically which we will see (other than decaying which happens underground or ashes which leaves bones, not a pleasant sight either way)! We do not see the ‘life’ of that person anymore. No smiles, no cries, no thanks, […]
