Variety is the spice of life

Gils seen roaming here and there carrying a bunch of paper. His damager is sitting in a very somber mood.. (somberi moodnu padicha kambeni poruppu illai). Knowing that look, Gils knows he is into deep philosophical mood and tries to dabaichify damager by taking a round about route avoiding him. "Gils...come here" "Sethaanda sekaru" nu thinkiyavaaray Gils goes to damager. "Yesh boss" "Enna ingayum angayum suthitrukka? Ennamo thedra mathiri iruku?" "ada neenga vera baas...naanay Santhoshema tholaichitu theditruken" Damager gets that oli vattam above his head whenever he is in appraisal sessions. He starts giving gyan to Gils about inner peace and how one should search for happiness within oneself and how materialistic the world has become where people always rush about searching for happiness every where else but never at the most easiest of places to check, that is within oneself.

2013 has been a very bad year for music industry. So many of the yesteryear greats have breathed their last this year. From Lalgudi Jayaraman to Ramamurthy to PBS to TMS to Vaali one after another the giants of music industry have commenced their onward journey to the place up above. The heavenly orchestra has just been strengthened like never before. For one of the best lyricist and music composer and the best singers of all time all have gathered there at the same time. No wonder even the sound of thunder has a new raga tone to it nowadays. Maybe the gods themselves have grown so fond of these musicians that they have caused this unseasonal rain in Chennai, just to hear them out. They may have taken a mortal form which has an expiry date written all over it the day it got formed. But their creations and music are nothing short of magic and are immortal. A silent prayer for those great souls.

The great nation of India is peppered with so many a tourist place. Probably the one nation in the whole wide world, that can boast of all kinds of tourists attractions -right from natural scenic beauties to adventurous wonderlands and on top of it all, those fraught with ancient and modern history. This article is about one such place that falls on the latter cadre.   Tears of women have created many an epic world over. Sita's tears destroyed Lanka  and in due course the base for entire Ramayana. Draupadi's tears destroyed the entire Kuru dynasty which became Mahabharatha. What was the price of Marcella Sherwood's tears?? Probably the end of British rule in India.   "Bagh" in many languages means garden, specifically one containing fruit and flower bearing trees. The northern side of India boasts of scores of such gardens and this one in Punjab, is the most famous of them all. For there grew, not just flowers and fruits, b...
