Simply a Great Day!!!!

Today I've been blessed with the Balaji's Divya Dharshanam & the great music legend, Thiru. Bala Murali Krishna's concert @ Birmingham. I must thank my friend & professor Dr. ANANYA, for this surprise visit and also I owe my kind gratitude to Mr. SRIDHAR & Mrs. LATHA SRIDHAR, for taking us to this divine place. One more person I must mention here is Ms. BHUVANA, who has spent her birthday gracefully on this providential occasion. The following are the summary of today's visit. We have started from Oxford by half four in the evening and reached Birmingham temple in two hours. It was an one hour concert, started by 7 pm. Although, he had sung "Oru Naal Podhuma, naan paada oru naal podhuma" (Shall one day is enough for me to sing...) in Tamil on his early days, unfortunately, today he was restricted to only one hour for just two songs to sing. However, all the invites were blessed to hear at least two of his own compositions tonight. Though, the concert was merely a greek & latin for me (because he sang in Telugu, his mother tongue), still I enjoyed to my fullest. Thats why, I agree when people say music doesn't have any language barrier. I admired the music knowledge and passion of Mr & Mrs Sridhar. The time we spent together may be less, but we shared many things. Many things we have discussed today were from psychology to cinema and from carnatic music to ancient civilization & their construction. I think it was a pretty informative talk and issues rather than a normal chatter. After dinner at McD, we again started from there by half nine and reached Oxford by eleven 'o clock without any unexpected delay in the motor way. Then we dropped Bhuvana, just opposite to her house and the rest of my fellow mates have come all the way to barton from headington to drop me at my door step. That makes a complete as well as a perfect evening for me, certainly for others too, I believe. Today, I really felt I've gone to a different world. Once again I thank all of my fellow mates for making this day, a very wonderful and memorable day for me forever!!! And I hope we will make another trip as like today in the near future :)

Weather Changes!!!

I have been woken up today by the cold breeze of lovely mother nature. All of the sudden, again the weather changes. Rain starts from today. There has been a prediction that this week would have the power rain storms and gloomy weather. Again the UK back to its form with its own cold, chill climate. That must be depressing, because every day ends by four or half past three in the early evening. Hereafter, it will take an extra couple of minutes to get ready for going out. We need to change to all knit wears and woolen fabrics. All the shops at city centre would have an end clearance sale for this summer. The entire scenario will change as the weather changes. But irrespective of the changes that goes on, life has to move. Thats makes the life more interesting. Meeting new people, new goal, new perspective towards life etc.. Things seem to be wrong today will change into right tomorrow, I used to wonder often its because of the mind or the time which is the cause for the difference. There is nothing in the life called good & bad, do & don't or right or wrong exists!!! If it favours our need then its called gud & right, otherwise its bad &wrong. But I could also say that unless your action, words or even thought which doesn't bother your fellow mate, then what ever you do is right. I ultimately believe in this point and some times keep arguing myself by thinking about this issue. Why the human life is so complicated? Or is it the life or the mind which is the origin of this sort of complications. I never got a right answer to this question till now which might have hit my mind more than few hundred times only after coming to UK. I also used to wonder, is it the mental maturity to think like that or an atmospheric condition, an external influence (the depressing weather...) which makes my mind to think about this unwanted issues.. At the end of the day, I realized that the human mind always tend to think like this if it is wandering lonely!!!
