##### "A Sunday" #######

"
Prelude : I could not do any thing else to avoid the automatic translitting of tamil though I do not want it.....Tried to search for ENGLISH in button which was not there (you are doing things too much at times !!!!!) and then tried this Quoting....which made my english as english.....Some times even I become an inventor when I am in dire need, right ?? here you go...
Dear Gowri
This is going to be a series of three postings...I am starting this now after this prelude exactly at 11.59 PM in my system...and I wish I complete all the three postings by 1 AM at least as tomorrow is working for me ....hmm.......
Well, this was a great sunday for me in all known standards....(all our standards are unfortunately historical, right ???) I had volley of things to be done since yesterday (I meant saturday) morning ...few phone calls, some purchases, couple of things connected with my luggage packing....and so on.....!! and I had prioritized seeing "the Wednesday" once again today before I am out of access to DVD and TV for a short while....
For that matter, I dont intend to buy a TV or fridge....or any sort for the next few months when I am going to stay alone....in fact am nursing secret dreams to buy a bicycle (a latest model) for my office going at new location.....!! To put it a nutshell, I want to do lot of experiments within myself in this short spell of loneliness though it is going to be a intermittent one...with me coming to chennai fortnightly once....as it appears....With May 2009 not too far, Bhibi may come for a month or so to stay with me....and I wish I have enjoyed my solitude enough so that I can at least enact as a loving and a nice hubby when she comes to my new place....
Well, normally I write big preludes for my mails...(thinking too much about myself, huh ??...)this time the prelude for my second mail is just this one....and I dont want to waste my time in preluding from the extempored second mail which is packed in between this long-prelude-mail and the third one which will make a fitting end for the whole long mail in between.....
Before you go into the second mail, I wish to record the great moments that I had in the past two days.....I handled Madhoo's accident right in the busy arya goundar road extremely well.....was quite cool through out...(she had to be rushed to a nearby hospital as she was bleeding and crying at the pitch of her voice...around 50 people gathering around me....and to carry her in an auto from my bike was quite easy task as there were many volunteers around ...one fetching an autom, another bringing a piece of ice for her wound, one more to apply a pain killer - the one like scent bottle - dont know its technical or practical name.... and another to take my two wheeler in front of his shop and waved my hand that it will be safe....handing over the bike key)
I was secretly thanking God and Sadhguru and my latest one Sai Baba on the love and humanity that still exist in the world.....!! Well, I know what you are coming to say....this is just a venting session...hold on...and keep going...
Second one was the cinema "abhiyum naanum" which we saw with swetha yesterday.....it was not a great film and some what resembling Mozhi...but I felt it very nicely....though the film was bit dragging after interval, I still loved the film experience and was sitting still at the end of film....deeply craving for lot of such films to be released and be successful....to trigger human minds and hearts with such individual oriented subjects and simple & straight themes....
Needless to say I was crying once a while in some emotional scenes......and it had been always a signal for me that I am in good shape inwardly. {One important aspects of my mental depression spell is that I dont feel like allowing any soft feelings like this...and tears , poems and musings go far off from me during those lousy periods when I used to kill myself}
Well, coming to third great feeling about this week end (you see, I am not going chronologically), the lying flat with my "nice" stomach bulging above water today....which was a small but great craving when I saw Rajoo doing it last week effortlessly. This simple thing that I achieved today is going to make me an elegant swimmer within next 3 - 4 months...who knows, I may beat you in a race also.....some time in II quarter...WATCH OUT....{well, as a ps to this point, I was able to comfort a stranger in the pool today who was feeling very dejected that he could not advance faster....he was vocally appreciating "we" coming as a group and the suppor that you are giving.....he was actually making me realise the value of "YOU" in this particular new initiatve.}
To name few more, the journey with swetha talking to her in general compartment today morning when we went back {you know some thing, she was about to get into ladies compartment.....and had bit hesitation to climb up in general compartment...Suddenly I realised the value of a good father......for every single person.....Well, think I am deviating} ...I was noticing lot of subtle things as I kept talking to this girl....who is still timid and needs too much of exposure to gain the confidence.....but feeling quite confident that she is going to become a wondeful woman as the fundamentals are right for her...her friendly and unassuming behaviour, great listening and observing skills, analytical and sharp minded mother...and above all ME...!!
Well, at home too, I was realising that the affinity that has developed within me towards the old man....and I was finding myself regretting from my heart when I was telling him that I forgot to get the "socks" that he wanted to practise on his wooden chappals...!! while he did not mind about it...and was telling that it was not an urgency, I was enjoying the grace and innocence that old age brings to people.....and since I have some serious idea to stay at coimbatore for quite some time.....(with anoo too mentally getting prepared for a long stint.....both of us are really not sure how long.....), I was getting reminded of few things about my physical unavailability (relatively speaking !!! both from rajoo's perspective...and my own availability all these days) to this old couple....and the only thing that gives me some solace is that both of them are spirited....AND financially extremely self reliant.....YES, this is a crude reality and I am happy that they are above the rest of such old people whose future is dark with no solution for their monthly budget agonies.....!!
To sum up few of my other milestones, I was delighted to tick off most of my task list that I carried with me....many of them did by myself personally - getting a shirt for my colleage who is leaving to US during next week getting relieved from the project (while me going to a new location....to join my boss !!), buying "krambu" which I was planning to buy for my chewing...(these days I have started chewing Elachi....as a fighter of my bad breath...wanted to compliment it with Krambu.....NOT TOO OFTEN, just once or twice a day...keeps the bad smell away); visiting Banu attimber and gifting him a copy of "frozen thoughts".....reading "bhagavatham" brought from kpuram in the train journey back to city.......Well, above all seeing "the wednesday" once again....
Well, have some water (or coffee like nasrudhin shah)....the sequel is yet to start
With warm regards...
suchoo
