Aansu - a Poem written by Jaishankar Prasad in Hindi

Just a little remniscence of what I studied decade ago in Hindi.

The poetry book's name is Aansu, meaning Tears.

He just narrates, how tears are so powerful and gives us many similes for tears.

Tears, when they come for others, they are so valuable.  I think, as Kamal says in the Movie, Vasool Raja MBBS, by crying for ourselves again and again, slowly we start empathising with other's pains too.

Swami Vivekananda also says, " Do u feel the pain in the nerves of ur brain, when u see the poor and wretched ppl of India, Do ur heart cries for them"  Tears gives the power to serve others.

Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa says " Cry for God, Have u seen how a lover cries to see his or her love, like that cry for God, have u seen a child crying for his/her mother, like that cry for God, God will come unto u"  I just wanted to follow this and tried crying before God in Temple, it never came to me.  But, when the circumstances became bad and I became like a stone, rough and tough, and sought nothing from God and felt wretched before God, Staring at God, asking nothing, Tears rolled out on my cheeks without any control.  That is Tears, they come on their own!

Tears are valuable!

Angadi Theru,

This movie shows the real story behind the Sales girls and boys being tortured by their superiors.

A  grown up Sales girl begging for going to Loo, and being given only five minutes, oh! Hell it is!

Heard that, their Life style has now developed after this movie, Thank u very much to the Director!

God is there in the form of this Director!

Imagination - the Power of My Mother

My Mother's Name is Yashodha, her another name is Udayalakshmi, I like her Innocence but I hate her Igonorance.  I think she is an SSLC fail. She wont tell it properly to me. Feels shy about it. She hated School bcos everybody there teased her for being tall. Poor girl.

But Her one act makes me smile, till now.  She doesnt know English and Hindi Properly but in my childhood I would watch her telling the story of a Hindi Movie to her Neighbour hood girl Malar.  I dint know Hindi at that time.  My mother would spin her own story to that Neighbour along with the Hindi Movie going on.  When I grew up and learnt Hindi, I just understood that My Mother is creating her own story by seeing the Movie, i.e. dubbing the Hindi Movie with her own Tamil Dialogues.

I just scolded her for spinning her story instead of listening and understanding the Hindi Movie Properly.

But Now I feel how talented she should be to have spinned the story along with the Running Movie, that is just like Running Commentary!

The All Pervasive Worshipping Method Of Hinduism - Sri Jaggi Vasudev

I just heard this from one of the sermons of Sathguru Sri Jaggi Vasudev.

"If u worship a Monkey, u r a Hindu,(Hanuman)
If u worship a Tree, u r a Hindu, (Ashwatha)
IF u worship a Plant, u r a Hindu (Tulsi)
IF u worship a Snake, u r a Hindu (Nagas)
If u worship a Stone, u r a Hindu (LIngas)

He went on giving quotes like this!

Very nice and inspiring thoughts!

Good to hear such thoughts!
