What draws?

The little one was asleep.A soft rendering of GAYATRYASTOTTARAM

was going on the TV.On waking to the rendering the little toddler

the tune and crawled up to the TV andstopped. What has drawn the little one?

We stood stupified and mymind recollected the annecdoteThat

Madura kavi alwazr was drawn to Nammalwazr by a spark of light

and that he stopped only when the spark disappeared

power of wish!

Chethana was busy finishing her cooking.The door bell rang.She opened to receive her daughter and grand child.She looked at the clock it was ten.
Her mind rewound the dialogue with her man at 830.
chetana: If only the babe sleeps for half an hour more my cooking will be done.
Her man; when speak it out your krishna will do it.You need to spell out your need.

Gaurdian angel?

Laxmi was busy beginning the day's work.Her mind was preoccupied with the happenings of the day before.She needed to have anap for 10minutes.
She couldnot.She did not want the baby to play with the music system.
The babe could have been engaged in many ways.That was not to be.
The night she could not sleep and at 3 threw up.She could not understand
the reason.She was not in the active mode.She wished she could cancel
making breakfast.That meant she telling her son-in-law to have it outside.
some how her mind refused to accept it. she planned to make chappathies.
At that time the door bellrang.whenshe opened she sawher son-in-law.
He said," aunty,I am leaving early and will have my breakfast outside"

universe!

There are as many universe
as number of people.
Transctions go on in as many.
No two world can become one.
Each is unique.
when you go parallel,you live
when try to conquer,
you perish.
leave alltransctions to the world
you live in joy.
Thats harmony.

Sharanagathi

Bhargava was frying a seed of amango.His friend came along ,stood watching.

He could not understand what Bhargava was doing.A talk ensued,

Bhargava: Hi,achyuta,come sit down.I will be free in a while.

Achyuta: Why are you roasting a mango seed? Of what use will it be of?

Bhargava: see I had visited a relative .They have a mango tree.The fruit tasted fine.

I said that I wated to have atree of that particular variety.My uncle said That I can grow

that tree with the seed I had in my hand,but it should be dried in the Sun for few days.

since I cannot wait for a few days

Iam roasting it.

Achyutha : what? roasting will take the source of life.It can never grow.

Bhargava: True.I never thought of it.

May be thats what is sharanagathi.

our ego gets roasted in Gnanagni. we will stay above forever.

Thanks,Achyuta.I can see it all.

flowers!

She said,"soebody is at the door"
when I saw,a lady with pots and flowered plants
My sister thought she should send it
it meant heaven for me
Loveliness filled my heart
It seems to say,loveliness is all
may your word and action be lovely
The receiver gets joy
spill joy like me
The joy left me feeling light
soaring to the height

precious!

The day's hard work brought you home

Near seven when you came in

another hour your kid took

when your man came you were busy

getting the dinner ready.

wouldnot it be nice to sit down and talk

any dinner would be tasty

Every minute got for each to hold hands

sit and tell sweetnothings

Is far better than lovely dinner,sweat,loudtalk

may be we need to know what matters most

when babe sleeps sit down to freeze the time
