How Do You Send A Person To A Psychiatrist?

I know a person who needs help. He needs a doctor’s help. More specifically, he needs a psychiatrist’s help. Several people, including a big circle of his closest friends are aware of this. He has no mental peace, he is always restless and at times loses that modicum of sanity.
I feel bad for him. I [...]

Twenty20 Cricket, Mashallah, Mighty Allah, and Muslims

I have to say that the Twenty20 World Cup Cricket was amazing!!! The entertainment value was overflowing. Ten of us watched the semi-finals and the finals and it was enough crowd to create a stadium atmosphere.
I never thought I would become a fan of this newest version of cricket so soon. As my wife rightly [...]

My Voice – A Blog’s Introspection

I am surprised. I am surprised that I survived for an year. I can tell you that it hasn’t been easy. For one, my boy is notorious for getting bored easily. So, it is quite an achievement that he has stuck around me for so long.
I have my moods. I laugh, I make you laugh. [...]

Twenty20 – Jokers and Geniuses

I am convinced that Twenty20 is not for people like me. They killed a really nice game called cricket and made it a joke. These days, nobody cares for good cricketing shots, brilliant fielding and wonderful bowling. Talking of which, we should invent a bowling machine. Do we really need a bowler whose only goal [...]

ಅಪ್ಪ ಇಲ್ಲದ ಗಣಪತಿ ಹಬ್ಬ

ಅಪ್ಪ ಇಲ್ಲದ ಗಣಪತಿ ಹಬ್ಬ, ಬೋಳು ಆಲದ ಮರದಂತೆ.
ಶುಭ್ರ ಮಗುಟ ಧರಿಸಿ ಶ್ರದ್ಧೆಯಿಂದ ಅವರು ಪೂಜಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದ ರೀತಿ, ಮಂತ್ರಘೋಷದ ಏರಿಳಿತಗಳಲ್ಲಿದ್ದ ಭಕ್ತಿ ರಸ…ಇನ್ನು ಬರಿ ನೆನಪಷ್ಟೆ.
ನನ್ನ ಮಟ್ಟಿಗೆ ಹೇಳುವುದಾದರೆ, ಹಬ್ಬದ ಹಿಂದಿನ ರಾತ್ರಿ ಸೂರನ್ನೆ ದಿಟ್ಟಿಸುತ್ತಾ ನಿದ್ರಿಸಲು ಪ್ರಯತ್ನಿಸಿದೆ. ಅಪ್ಪನ ನೆನಪು ತುಂಬ ಕಾಡುತ್ತಿತ್ತು. ಅತ್ತುಬಿಡಬೇಕು ಎಂದುಕೊಂಡೆ. ಅಳು ಬರಲೇ ಇಲ್ಲ, ಆದರೆ ದುಃಖ ಉಮ್ಮಳಿಸುತ್ತಿತ್ತು.
ಹಬ್ಬವೇ ಇಲ್ಲದ ಹಬ್ಬದ ದಿನ, ಮನಸ್ಸು ಮುದುಡಿ ಗೂಡು ಹೊಕ್ಕಿತ್ತು.
ಅಪ್ಪ ಇಲ್ಲದ ಗಣಪತಿ ಹಬ್ಬ, ಹಾರಲು ಮರೆತ ಹಕ್ಕಿಯಂತೆ.

Blogging 101

Here is my response to rads‘ tag. I know I still haven’t responded to Srik’s tag. But he tagged me when I was going through a lot of personal problems and he knows that too. I promise I will get to it soon.
I am supposed to answer 8 questions. BUT, there are actually 14 questions!!! I knew rads’ [...]

cArAyaNa (or cARbhArata, if you prefer)

Trust me, I don’t make up these stories. It is amusing that so many bloggable stories happen in my life. Yesterday, I realized why getting a Volkswagen serviced is so much easier than getting a Honda serviced. Read on.
Getting a VW serviced:

Call the stealership and make an appointment.

Go to the stealership on assigned date and [...]

On Top Of The World

The first time I was on top of the World Trade Center was in March 1998. My mother was giving concerts in east coast and I had joined her for a few days. We went around Washington, New York and Philadelphia. There was a tourist guide inside the elevator when we were going up. According [...]

People Above The Law

Seoul high court has suspended 5 year prison term for Hyundai chairman Chung Mong-koo. This means he is a free man now and doesn’t have to go to jail. He was being charged for embezzlement and fraud.
South Korean judge Lee Jae-hong said that the chairman is too important for South Korea and he didn’t want [...]
