  • Movies That I Liked.....I watched a Malayalam Movie called'Vastu Hara' in Kairali T.V.yesterday.The story touches about losers who migrate abandoning their personal properties during divison of countries and realtes to the creation of East Pakistan called East Bengal dividing Bengalis .Also running underneath the main issue is the personal loss of property which gets rejected by the Mother in the story who is offered the same back by her Husband's relatives.

Highlighting Today.



A sense of well being is my feel today.Since it has started raining here the weather is cool.The trees in my street look green and a slight breeze make them wave their branches at you.There has been a construction of a house going on next to my house.This site had been for so long empty,I always had problem maintaining it garbage free.In fact I had spent some money everymonth for its upkeep.So I am happy to see it constructed.

It does make me look at the life of a worker too.Even in slight rain drizzling they worked as the cement with sand had been mixed already and size stone foundation masonary need be finished on that day itself.Since the slush made it difficult to walk with the load on head,one worker was strewing some sand on the walking path.Some one just said 'Rs,50 worth sand'?He replied 'suppose I fall down and break my legs'?.I was watching this conversation from the staircase.Yes, I thought he will break his leg and will be out of work too.So let the Rs.50 worth sand go.Today there is not much work as the foundation laid has to set in.

I tried watching a movie but the CD was not good.They do sell such Cd's here.So here I am typing my day.A sort of peace has started settling in with me and I have to preserve it.That is why in all meditative programmes and in life management teaching they highlight 'satsangh'.For it is important that the mind being what it is,vagrant and unsteady the 'conditioning' is maintained.This sort of gave me my answer for my guilt in bunking satsaghs since two months.Also I do feel 'thoughts',even philosophical thoughts have to be continuousely nurtured.

This knowledge has made me get up today and try at my own efforts for having my mind under my control.I also have to aim at continuous retention of balance.I have come to the edge of this life and there is nothing more to look at.No negativism this is but do not look or search for positivism too.Little pleasures are out and it is time not to look back and wish that everything was different.It does give me some thing to study further.But the trees in my street continue to wave at me and I see light reflected everywhere.Perhaps that is the answer.

Jayamala.
