Lost My Cycle:(:(

Cycling has also been one among my favorites and passion too. When ever i feel really lonely and down, it has been my best companion. I Just go on a drive in the evenings for an hour or so , which is one of my best past time. Driving on the streets of my area is really a pleasure. All surrounded with trees around and the evening mild breeze really makes up for one's day. But all this i can enjoy no more. Yesterday my cycle fell prey for theft. Some one flicked it off my building's compound even when my watch woman was on high alert. None of us realised it until at around night ten o clock when samba asked for my missing cycle. It never came under my sight right from the evening. I was under the assumption as usual that my cousin had taken it to his class.

Until two months back , i used to handle the cycle all by myself. I literally caressed it like a kid. The maintainence was undoubtedly beyond appreciation. Every one in and around used to have an eye on it. Even the brown cover wrapped around the rods i had kept with out unwrapping. Yesterday i really felt as though i lost a big possession in my life.Planning to post a police complaint.Hopefully i get back my cycle. I still remember the times when my dad got the cycle , looking at the difficulty i faced travelling inside my area. Bounded with so much of love and affection of my dad. It was really so sentimental to me. Just Hoping for the best:((

Significance Of 'GAYATHRI MANTRA'

I have always had a very great passion for the Vedas and religion.Gayathri Mantra has so much of vibrations in it. The way you recite it has a much more greater effect on the body and mind has a whole.Human life can be compared to a four-storied mansion. The four stories are: Brahmacharya (celibacy), Grihastha (householder), Vaanaprastha (recluse) and Sanyasa (renunciate). Today you are laying the foundation for the mansion of your life. The safety and security of the mansion is assured once you make the foundation strong and sturdy.

Man is born four times in his life. He is born for the first time when he emerges from his mother's womb. He becomes a Dwija (born for the second time) when he is initiated into the Gayatri Mantra. He becomes a Vipra through the study of Vedas and ultimately becomes a Brahmana when he recognizes the principle of Brahman. One should be a Brahmin not merely by virtue of birth, but by virtue of action too. For this, chanting of Gayatri Mantra is very essential.Gayatri is Sarvadevata Swarupini and Sarvamantra Swarupini (embodiment of all Gods and goddesses and all Mantras).

Man has to earn the grace of Gayatri, Savitri and Saraswathi to sanctify his life.First and foremost, man has to purify his speech. Only then will his life be safe and secured. If you slip and fall, the injury can be repaired, but the slip of the tongue is irreparable. It will make your life miserable. So, you should have control over your speech. Excessive talk will lead to untruth and unpleasantness. That is why the ancient saints and seers used to observe silence. You can uphold truth and attain fame only by talking less. Limited talk will confer happiness. Excessive talk will put you to grave dangers.Bhur, Bhuvah and Suvah in the Gayatri which sustains the life force. This Mantra refer to body (materialization), life force (vibration) and soul (radiation). Bhur means Bhuloka (the earth), which is nothing but the combination of materials. This denotes the human body, which is also a combination of materials. Bhuvaha refers to the life force, which makes the body move. Suvaha refer to Prajnana Shakti,Prajnana Shakti is known as the Constant Integrated Awareness.

Gayatri is the embodiment of the mother-principle. You should chant the Gayatri everyday, morning, afternoon and evening. These are referred to as Praathah ,Sandhya, Maadhyahna, Sandhya and Saayam Sandhya. When you show your back to the sun, your shadow will be ahead of you. It will fall behind you only when you stand facing the sun. Similarly, Maya (illusion), which is like your shadow, will overtake you when you turn your mind away from God. It can be overcome only when you turn your mind towards God.Gayatri is known as Panchamukhi, meaning she has five faces. What are they? Aum is the first face; "Bhur Bhuvah Suvaha" is the second; "Tat Savitur Varenyam" is the third; "Bhargo Devasya Dheemahi" is the fourth; "Dhiyo Yo Nah Prachodayat" is the fifth. The Gayatri has three parts: 1.Praise, 2.Meditation, and 3.Prayer. First, the Divine is praised, then it is meditated upon in reverence and lastly, an appeal is made to the Divine to dispel the darkness of ignorance and to awaken and strengthen the intellect. "Dheemahi" is related to the meditative aspect. "Dhiyo Yo Nah Prachodayat" relates to the aspect of prayer.

Chanting of the Gayatri Mantra purifies the mind and confers devotion, detachment and wisdom. Young men must necessarily chant the Gayatri Mantra. Today we find people getting initiated into the Gayatri Mantra in the advanced stages of their youth. Intellect will blossom and shine forth in all its splendor only after initiation into the Gayatri Mantra. That is why it is essential that Upanayanam be done at the age of eight. One who is initiated into the Gayatri Mantra at an early age will become highly intelligent. Chanting of the Mantra will sanctify man's life.If you chant the Gayatri Mantra wholeheartedly, you will never face difficulties or misery in life.

My Beloved Pappu(Snowy)

Dogs and cats have always been my favorites when it comes to breeding pets. Though i have never had the chance to have one in my home town ,because of my mom's disliking for pets..i got the very opportunity to spend time with pets when i moved down to this city. I was residing with my aunt and family, where we had a cutie spitz..Snowy(pappu)..which was like around 4 yrs old when i had come down here. He was really huge and snow white doggy and a ferocious one. Initially when i was new to the place,..i still remember, everytime i used to enter and exit the house, snowy would be the one sending off me and greeting me in , with his loud barks. At the first site i was really very scared.When snowy was an year old or so ...i had come along with my family for a vacation to chennai and we resided at my aunt's place. My younger sister too has the passion for dogs just like me. She wanted to feed the dog with bun and tried to play around with it's food. Ultimately she had to reap the bitterness for her stupid act. She got bitten very badly by snowy and the scar is still visible on her hand till date.

Pappu has been the pet of every member in our family. Pappu was got to chennai from delhi by my cousin, when she had been on a trip there. It was her gift from her friends , because of her all time passion and craze for DOGS!!She would do anything for him and she has gone all extends for protecting her pet. Though initially pappu was too ferocious with me, with in a very short period got so closer to me. Everyday when i used to enter home from college he will wag his tail so much in happiness and would want me to come and caress him. He was the best guard for our colony. Very sharp,intelligent and loving. An year back due to shifting of location and few other dumb reasons, we had to leave our pappu with a care taker. This fellow runs an exclusive home for Dogs in the ECR . I could not believe that there are such good souls existing who really care for animals and love them beyond horizons,admist their busy schedule. Even if people are rich enough ,not many would have the will and wish to do such a kind act. Hats off to you sir!!

Pappu had a very different life for an year before his very sudden demise in the beginning of this month. We were not informed about this until Yesterday. So shocked and grieve struck about the sudden death of our dearest pet. We have really no words to express. Just Few days back we were planning to get back pappu in the month of january back home. But before that god took off his soul from this heavenly body. My cousin who had all the plans set for building a new canal for him..is totally lost in depression.May our Pappu's soul rest in peace!!:(:(:(

A very thrilling rainy day!!

Rains are something i am so thrilled about. But this was a very different experience..the day of my exam.The down pour of rainfall started at about six in the morning and was really very heavy with thunderstorms. I was expecting the rains to come down a bit but there was no sign of improvement. The biggest problem in my area is that we will not find a single auto passing by when there is torrential rains. This day was no exception. I started few mins earlier itself to catch the bus and found no autos as expected. If it was any other normal day i would have just left and stayed off home better than going to college.But its the day of university exam and can take no risk. Came back rushing home and called few of the known auto drivers, but none of them could come to my rescue because of their non availability.

The next attempt was to ask help from my cousin,but because of the heavy downpour he was hesitant to get his vehicle out as it had technical faults. Every thing was going against me. By then the clock had already past eight few mins. I was stranded with out any solution with all fear in my mind. Then my cousin tried his level best to find if some one could come and drop me, and by god s grace we found a tourist vehicle who halted and offered to drop me on the GST road where in lot of my college buses pass by. If at all i happen to miss my bus ,usually i come down to GST road and catch another bus,which is a very rare phenomenon though .Ithought "ok,i am relieved off all the tensions for the day "and tried to keep my cool without knowing i had few more hindrances ahead of me.

Around eight buses passed by and none halted. I was trying to halt all the buses by waving my id card. I was in a very miserable state with my umbrella flying off and broken.Completely got drenched ,including my bag ,hall ticket. Started shivering with cold and to my relief at last the ninth bus halted and i got in.Was dripping in water and totally struck with cold. Reached college really very late because of al l the heavy traffic and could not even get the time to dry myself. I went to write my exams all drenched and through out was shivering. In fact with high difficulty was holding my pen and writing, since my hands were shaking because of the extreme cold.It was indeed a very different and thrilling experience of my life!!

I know its been really long since i posted. Its almost ten days since my sister got married and i wanted to post on the happenings. Yet another fantabulous day in the sweet memories of my family happenings. My cousin and dhen(my junior jiju) have been in the journey of the love for the past six years and with all good memories tied the knot on 24th of october, at Tirumala ,very much a place of sereneness and divinity. They had a wonderful darshan of the Lord and i really feel they are so blessesed a couple to have got the blessings of balaji on the day of their wedding. They hosted a reception here in chennai on the next day where in a huge crowd turned up. Babbu, sid ,kudi,samba made it to the wedding from my frds circle. It was indeed a wonderful day again. Samba and kudi tried to spot some chics out there though they failed to do so!!! The food was the best part of the reception with a good lip smacking menu. The bride and the groom were all dressed and looking heavenly!

It was indeed a very marvelous day. I wish the couple a very happy married Life.
