Guidance

When I meditated on the word Guidance,
I kept seeing "dance" at the end of the word.
I remember reading that doing God's will is a lot like dancing.
When two people try to lead, nothing feels right.
The movement doesn't flow with the music,
And everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky.
When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead,
Both bodies begin to flow with the music.
One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back
Or by pressing Lightly in one direction or another.
It's as if two become one body, moving beautifully..
The dance takes surrender, willingness,
And attentiveness from one person
And gentle guidance and skill from the other.
My eyes drew back to the word Guidance.
When I saw "G": I thought of God, followed by "U" and "I".
"God, "U" and "I" dance."
God, you, and I dance.
As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust
That I would get guidance about my life.
Once again, I became willing to let God lead.
My prayer for you today is that God's blessings
And mercies are upon you on this day and everyday
May you abide in God, as God abides in you.
Dance together with God, trusting God to lead
And to guide you through each season of your life.
So let's continue to pray for one another.
And I Hope You Dance !

Shakespere and traffic safety

To be or not to be is the question? - William Shakespere

I had used this quote for a slogan contest on traffic safety.

To be or not to be is the question
Slower or Faster is the solution.

yet another one

Being fast will make you merry
in the road you will end up as curry

சிரிக்க அல்ல சிந்திக்க

ஒரு கொலை குற்றவாளி நீதி மன்றத்தில் "ஐயா நான் தாய் தந்தை இல்லாத அனாதை . எனக்கு கருணை காட்டுங்கள்" என்று வேண்டினான்.
அவன் செய்த குற்றம் : அவன் பெற்றோரை கொலை செய்ததுதான்.

என்ன ஒரு முரண்பாடு.

பெற்றோரை முதியோர் இல்லத்தில் தள்ளி விட்டு / குழந்தைகளை கவனிக்காமல் விட்டு விட்டு
சிலர் " சேவை " என்று கூறி பொது சேவைக்கு கிளம்பி விடுகிறார்கள்.
அவர்களுக்கும் மேற்கண்ட கொலையாளிக்கும் வேறுபாடு அதிகம் இல்லை.

கிணறு வெட்ட பூதம் - கலைஞரின் விளக்கம்

கிணறு வெட்ட பூதம் புறப்பட்டது என்ற பழமொழிக்கு கலைஞரின் விளக்கம்:

கிணறு வெட்ட வெளியே வருவது மண்
உடன் வருவது அடைபட்டு இருக்கும் வாயு
கிணறு வெட்டியவுடன் கிடைப்பது தண்ணீர்
சற்றே குனிந்து நோக்கினால் தெரிவது வானம் - ஆகாயம்
அதில் தெரிவது சூரியன் - நெருப்பின் வடிவம்

ஆக கிணறு வெட்ட பஞ்ச பூதங்கள் வெளிபடுவதை தான் அந்த பழமொழி குறிக்கிறது
ஒரு சிறந்த சிந்தனை

1983 World cup heroes me too - for few

It just reminds me of an incident during May 83.
It was the day of Cricket World cup Finals.
I was in Hyderabad in my brother's house.
On that day morning our TV failed.
Few families (mind you there were couple of beautiful young girls) in the neighbourhood, were dependent on this TV set for watching the grand Finale.

Focus shifted on me.

After all I have completed 4 years (of 5 years) in Electronics & Communication Engineering and supposed to know 80% of everything electronics ( TV radio...) So I am supposed to service and make TV set good. (I could not say TV is not my elective subject ) So I did what best I could think of under the given circumstance.
I demanded for a screw driver opened the cover of TV set and cleared all the dust inside. I put the cover back and switched the set 'ON'
Bravo! It started working normally.
None of them believed that I have not done anything.
They thought that I had actually serviced (& trying to be modest).
Any way we enjoyed the Indian victory thoroughly .

One question - unfogettable

Sometimes one question can transform you into an expert in perception, though in reality may not necessarily be true.

It happened to me in my college days.

There was one question I asked during a seminar in our college which fetched me a title of 'Quantem Mechanics' expert. In reality,..........

Topic of the seminar was: Molecular computers

Question I had asked was : Approaching molecular dimensions, is it not true that Heiseneberg's Uncertainty principle comes into the picture leading to statistical decision errors?

Let there be light

'Let there be light'
Besides being a biblical citation, it was the implication of Charles A Kao and A G Kockham when they presented the mathematical basis for fiber optic communication in the year 1960..

This was my opening statement in my first ever intercollegiate seminar on ' The challenge of the optical systems' presented at CIT coimbatore in Feb'84.

PS Kao won Nobel Prize in 2009
