Transcendance - 17 ::: I speak JUST ADEQUATE

Dear Gowri
The whole of yesterday went at our relatives' home where there was a death of our old grand mother.....In fact she was in critical condition for quite some time but the time of demise was quite unexpected and made us really feel bad.....I personally feel it was a perfect manner to die to leave all of us a sense of sudden-ness though she was getting ready for the inevitable...very slowly....!! This person is an extra ordinary human being....being widowed at a very young age (she had been a widow for half of her 85 year life), she had virtually killed herself putting herself into long hours of hard work to bring up 5 of her childern (4 sons including my own FIL). forgot to tell, she had been an extremely good manager of every thing about life...people, time, her own tongue and also money matters....& also had been optimistic to the core inspite of adverse situations...It appears she had never cursed any one or passed ill comments on any one behind their back....Most of the people of old generation have many of the above positive qualities but I am not sure if many will qualify and match her in terms of the last line stated above.....!!
That was extremely important to record about a wonderful soul (whose face was like a kid.....when her body was lifted up to go to her ultimate destination) .... by which I think this blog gets sanctified to a great level...MAY HER SOUL REST IN PEACE...
Well, I am quite an ardent admirer of concept of death...and human psychologies around it.....and dont mind stating that I have specialised this subject in a very strange manner.....!! You may get find it getting oozed out here and there in any subject that I talk about.....and its not a wonder, Lord Shiva became my favourite God as of now......!!
I was observing utter silence for quite some time (close to 2 hours)...and then was talking to some one of the relative after a point of time.....after helping out on few basic things that was needed out of me....! This person is in a very high position in corporate world and I never got an opportunity to have such long time with him....He infact was accompanying me when I left close by for organising few things....and think was quite happy to have my company too.....!!
Needless to say, I vented out my passion on my future career and he suggested me few support (name of few books on leadership...., giving contact of people whom he knows in the field...., inviting me for any programs that he conducts in his place - for that matter 3000 people report to him ....globally)..The most heartening suggestion that he gave me was his invitation to his home so that we can talk in leisure.....!!
After 2-3 hours, he left and I was in a band of circuit who was talking about ISHA...and I was there too...participating nicely...
Now, Does it appear to be contradicting my title ?? NOT AT ALL, I kept my decibel level during the talk extremely low considering the occassion for which we gathered there...and ensured that I did not talk too much unless and until it was warranted ......!! I was always there doing little little helps when I was called...but managed to come back quickly as I was not part of the core group involved in ceremonies.....!!
During the evening, after people proceeding to the cremation ground, I was blessed with an opportunity of sprinkling sacred water and purifying the home....and I was suggested not to join the group to the Grounds....I was the first one to take bath to do this important task....and also took a bath once again after finishing off a simple but a fitting task in the memory of deceased....!!
So...you see, my friend, some times I take bath twice too.....!! Dont ask me, how many minutes I had my bath.....!!
Cheers
