Onomatopoeia - Sounds of Nature

Been away for quite some time now...

After a good break at 'The Tamara' in Coorg, which I highly recommend for complete relaxation and gastronomic pleasures, I feel the need to express myself more than ever before.

I was amidst nature and sounds of nature trying to figure out which made my solitude more better, when I realised that you are never alone!

I was amongst a sea of unknown creatures trying to communicate with their own species in a language only they understood.  All I knew is those sounds of nature could be territorial in nature or mating calls, or maybe an even more complex communication which we as humans fail to recognise. 

There I was amidst the buzzing of bees, the humming of insects, chirping of birds, the rustling of leaves, the croaking of frogs, the warbling of Wrens! I knew that these were sounds or audible signals made by any one species to its own or any other species establishing boundaries so that like or unlike species will not transgress those boundaries. And I questioned myself, when all God's creations communicate with each other why was I searching for solitude? Are we in a generation of over communication?  Maybe we need time-off sometimes to learn to appreciate our highly developed communication skills?

In the end I finished my short vacation with the knowledge that we can never really be alone. Even amidst nature you are surrounded by sounds of nature. Maybe not understandable but nevertheless a mode of communication for some species.

When we go in search of solitude into jungles, we transgress upon the territory of other species and are astounded by their sounds, the same way a wild animal escapes the jungles and finds himself in the city and finds the 'sounds of a city' mysterious and strange.

Dreaming big

Here is my theory of dreaming big .I often think what will I become when I grow old , a lawyer , scientist, an actress I really don't know . I have heard stories of many people saying that when they were small they used to think that they would be - For example an anchor and they did become an anchor when they grew old , they pursued their dreams but I have also heard of people who could not pursue their dreams. They may have realized that their dreams were in another direction or that they took the wrong way.This is a short theory and I do have a long way to answer this .I am going to leave you this question to answer it .

Are you dreaming big enough ?

IMAGINATION

When I say the word imagination what occurs to your mind , just take a second and think what does it mean to you . Imagination can come from any place or any thing it depends on how creative you are . When I read  a book I imagine myself in that character or if I watch a film I imagine myself there . So the next time you read a book or watch a film try imagining .Close your eyes and try imagining yourself  where you own a house or maybe a bungalow and it is in front of a beach or lets just stick with reality so u got a promotion from manager to the head manager yeah that would be great , but that's all in your mind .Imagination builds your creativity.It is like your dreaming but u are awake in this dream .So lets just imagine. Do u know what I am imagining that I will get loads of hits and comments and readers. I think I am just imagining too.... much .

Atomic Theory Of Life

I was reading the other day in the newspaper that a dad who came to know that he had a few more days to live due to cancer, started blogging all his thoughts for his children. Today he is no more but his words of advise, his thoughts are there for his kids to know him better as they grow up.
Ofcourse I am not seeing myself go away that fast but death is a cruel master. He might just snatch you away when you are needed by a loved one. So I decided to leave my footprints in the cyber world for posterity.
When I was teaching Chemistry to Niks, I learnt something new...actually a whole bunch of it. Some dealt with chemistry but a few facts about life too! Life and chemistry??
Well, it is known now that atoms that lack the required number of electrons, try stabilising themselves by borrowing the same or vice-versa. Its only when they are complete in their configuration that they are stable! Also ions are formed when atoms give or take electrons from another. What is so contradictory is that when you give electrons you are positively charged and when you take electrons you are negatively charged. Isn't that the same with life?
When you give to someone you are filled with this positive energy, whereas when you take from someone you feel a sense of guilt, need...and all of this can only mean negative energy.
Nature instills in us this inherent nature to complete ourselves. Even when we search for a life partner we never look for a twin. We somehow find ourselves attracted to this person who is completely opposite of who we are. Maybe the Chinese (or is it the Japanese?) Yin-Yang theory is true of everything.

Me And My Kids

What I Want

Sitting here in my office, I can't help feeling claustrophobic. I can hear the honks of cars, the screech of the bus as the driver brakes to a halt, the splutter of the auto as the autodriver manoeuvres his vehicle through the maze of traffic. I type away on my machine wasting precious moments of my life. Do I want to be out there smelling the fumes, deafened by the explosion of noises or here sitting uncomfortably in a chair poring over boring documents. Making a living yet not exactly living it.

I want to be home reading a book, curled up on my bed. Without a care, waiting for my kids to return with their innumerable stories. Watch their bright faces as they narrate the days happenings. Clucking and nodding, looking interested...as if my life was meant only for listening to them. Feeding my little one as she watches T.V. I want to go home. Be the one thing I love to be - a mom.



But it isn't sufficient they say. You need to be financially independent, make use of your brains, your talent. Does that mean being a good mom is not a talent, an ability?

I learnt from my mom that being a mom is a full time job in itself and there are no retirement facilities. Till the day you are no more you are a mom! Your micro-role may keep changing. At first you are a provider, then as kids grow you need to be there advisor and counsellor and finally as they mature into adults you need to be the observer and consultant.



If you do you are damned..if you do not..damned too!

Searching........

In search of a perfect life I feel I have squandered the precious one I had in hand. Aren't we all like that.....the grass is always greener on the other side. But why don't we look at the opportunities on this side? When all is lost it is only then that I realize that being tenecious was never my forte. I have always given up when the going got tough. Today I feel like a real failure and I am searching to find a noble reason to garb my failure with a glorious sense of purpose.
I am toying with this idea of dedicating my life to service. but will I persevere...that is a question that will be answered in another few months.
Hope I keep searching and this search never ends as I still feel there is something that He has destined for me.

Heartbroken?

How do you get over a broken heart? If somebody had known the answer he could have filled his coffers to the brim. This is a malady which has raged our planet much longer than any epidemic. The casualties too are so severe that sometimes it has resulted in the death of one or both the parties concerned. Yet there is not a trace of research being conducted to find a cure for this disease.
The first symptom that shows up during this illness is the necessity for privacy. The other symptoms that follow are listening to mournful songs that are being churned out by - the - dozen by record companies. Some patients who feel that they have a "way with words" find it necessary to purge out their feelings in the form of depressing poems. Loss of appetite is another symptom not to be ignored as it could lead to waste of good food.

Though there are numerous remedies available in the form of "unwanted advice" but my suggestion is take treatment from Dr. Time as he is the best in this field at present.
