Intha naal antha varudam

The title is my favorite in The Hindu. "This day, that age". What happened 50 years ago would be flashed on this column. Headlines of course. I have read about direct fight between leaders regarding Kashmir. Nehru being vocally thrashed much to the contrary of what appears in text books today. Gandhi being silently criticized. India winning and losing in the sporting events...

Hmmm...

As it turned out, it also became a day for many reminiscences. Tangi was online when I opened my laptop...

SVCE. Antha naalu varushangal nu than sollanum. Man! Seems to me now that it was the happiest times of my life.

Marathadi Pillaiyar kovil. Antha bus stop. Canteen. Smithy. Welding. Department pinnala total shady glen. Cut adichu madras thirumbhi vara 76C. Kanchipuram. Friends who I am not in touch with at all. Classmates. One who lived right below my apartment here in Lex and one 76 miles out at Cincinnati. I never made it a point to stay in touch even with them.

Varun. He was one friend who I made all efforts searching for but did not find at all. Even orkut did not turn up an entry for him. I met a couple of seniors at Austin and thankfully met them pretty often.

It is as though God just said, "Look. I have given Man so many things that he is never going to say he is happy about them all. He just takes it for granted. But I am God. And I know how to deal with it. I will give him time to realize this." And so God created time.

When something is timeless, you never bother about it much. The sky, the wind, the moon, the beauty of earth... But when you set a time : you can enjoy this only for 50 years.

But the Lord was totally deceived by the brilliance of man, who just to say he has had a good laugh,never thinks about all this till the 49th year.

Isn't He is the Lord because He has the last laugh always? At twilight man realizes,''My Lord, thou hast the last laugh yet; Cant I stay for another 50 years?''

Hmm. The other day I was talking to a friend(vj) about time travel. He said it was impossible. But I believed it must be possible and still do. But. Given a boon of realizing something, I would rather ask of God that time be untravellable. To coin a new word.

Because then at least I shall realize what I have missed. If time travel was possible, Man shall always be under the impression that everything can be undone and so miss the point of it all.

What is the question to 42? Number of ways man must be mislaid to think Time is travellable.

Hmmm..

So this morning was a totally tear jerky nostalgic hand kerchiefy morning.

SVCE. Again. I cant stop to think anything else. But I guess I wrote enough for today.

My two pennies for today : Live life so that you never realize tomorrow how good you could have made yesterday.

Adieu!

Hamsa,
Today I totally experienced the horrible situation of "Speechless"!

Hey, do you remember your old post where you begged Him for a human? Now I understand your state of loneliness :(

Soon after posting this, I am to shout "Is anyone there to chat?"
