GOD and LOVE

"GOD and LOVE" the most debated topics of the modern world.. the existence of both is questioned and argued and proved and theorized. For me both are same, they exist 100% but not every one feels the presence.. I wonder at times what it would be like, if GOD appeared every time, we need him. He would become normal! we would say things like, "Come on God I didn't call you today! now go I will talk to you later..." lol

May be that is why his presence is felt strongly yet rarely by people... Love is similar...! Not everyone feels it.. People do say that they met... fell in love convinced their parents or eloped and got married but I challenge that a minimum of 75% of them would have asked to them-self at least once if it was really love?

There is a nice song in a Tamil movie where the lines goes as,

mudhal naal paartha vanappu
thuli kuraiyavum illai unakku
urakkam vizhiipil kanavaai
unai kaanbadhae vazhakkam enakku
aruginilae varugaiyilae
thudippadhai niruthudhu nenjam
mudhal mudhal indru nigazgiradhendru
nadippadhu konjam vanjamae

Well!! thats love...

Kakkai shiraginile nandalala ninran kariya niram tonrudaiye nandalala 
Parkkum marangalellaam nandalala ninran paccai niram tonrudaiye nandalala
Ketkum oli ellam nandalala ninran gitam ishaikkutada nandalala 
Teekul viralai vaittaal nandalala ninnait-teendum inbam tonrutada nandalala 

and this is devotion plus Love! ;-)

Yet I wonder..

Tossing around in my bed waiting for a peaceful sleep to embrace me, the wait is too long, its like seeking sunlight at night i don't find it any where and then all of a sudden I find myself thinking, Its funny, what kind of thoughts enter my peaceful head on this still night... i wanted to die.. Yes! i wanted death that moment.. I once wrote a short story about a girl committing suicide, I have not published that yet.. Still i remember that I enjoyed a lot when i wrote it especially the last paragraph when darkness seek ed her and she fell into a peaceful yet unending slumber...


Why cant i finish off like that it could be fun.... and I would get the privilege to know what lies beyond the end line of a race... But then after some moments my thought took a turn from 'I wanted to' to 'Why should I?' and I pondered for a reason well there is no life ending reason. So I take a moment and close my eyes and think for a second about the never ending beauty of the world...  World indeed is very beautiful.. I love everything in it.. in fact I love every thing I see in my life including the hot sun, polluted life... How else will we enjoy the beautiful rain without the hot summer? Clean meadow without a polluted road..


Lord Krishna said that everything in the world is materialistic.. and we should never stick on to it if we need eternal bliss. Live life like a drop of water in a lotus leaf... in my words enjoy the world for the moment and only for the moment and do not attach yourself to it. If that is so why would he create the world with so much beauty that it pulls us from death? the urge to live is found in every human being because "World is the best place to live in.." Yet I wonder... is this called MAYA?

Are cows jealous?

While on my way home from office.. I spotted a cow in the middle of the road... Its pretty simple here to see a cow on the road... besides the place had many.. cow sheds. My brother who was driving honked... the beast did not move or even look at our direction.. I asked my brother to go around the road like every body else.. but he wouldn't do that. So we kept honking at the cow.. and finally the cow moved away after what looked like an eternity... :o


It then did something unusual.. it kept staring at our car... i can feel the stare and see it from the rear view mirror until the car moved around the corner... and became out of sight for the cow..!!! This little incident made me think out loud.. and ended in an interesting conversation with my brother...




"So when a cow sees a car.. does it think that the car is another animal??"
"May be" echoed my brother.. First time in my life we both agreed on something..
"You think it gets Jealous seeing this another super animal (car) is bigger than the cow itself and also moves faster?" I pondered more..
"Duh! sister.. animals cant be jealous only human being have such feelings.."
Well I don't use much of Duh in my conversation.. but I like the way it sounds.. Duh Duh! nice, Oh i left the topic.. how easily does our mind wander....
I thought for a while and "Hey that is not true.. remember Tommy (our pet dog) he got all jealous when we got the new cat and never ate anything for 2 days..??"
"You got a point there sissy!! said my brother
"Oh ya... I am rite.. ! lol..! :-O


So is the cow jealous of a car??? we never know until we ask a cow.!!!do u know?  :-P
