<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">WHAT TO FILL IN OUR BASKETS</span></b></div>
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">FROM THE SEASONS OF SITUATIONS</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When i read Tagore i understand there a soothing, calming peace flowing from within from his modest language. It is a fact that he did not leave an empty basket behind him for his followers on his eternal journey from this world.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I have seen destiny placing a lot of unpleasant
situations and it is not humans but situations they face create
unpleasantness. Humans err and misjudge situations and end up in
miseries. It is true that the good ones also can face deadly situations
and end up as victims. Faced with such many ordeals i know i was at
several times accused of the things which i have not done. I tried to
retaliate and fight. I learned at the end that our world is not a focus point to
support any individual in trouble with full heart. It is just a passing
phase, a platform, a day or a small event dais to talk about or sympathize. The me or i
factor is important for humans as if it happens to me it is something to
be talked and if it is to another human it is a matter less important
as it needs to be judged with a different measure scale.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">It is with pain i noticed and at times wondered why people invade and fill their mind's emptiness in my earthen territory and i tried several times to fight back and failed to reason out because the people invaded my territory tried to display their ordinary behaviour most of the time. There i want to believe that extra ordinary ones haunt not others or chase or challenge other humans but try to improve their own gifted life. Even at times my sincere approach also caused a negative impact that i learned it is difficult a task to please the thinking pattern of different people at different situations. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have learned from my experience that when faced with unpleasant situations it is better not to retaliate but to look up for the extra ordinary souls who can inspire at that moment of pain. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In politics of life i learned not to focus on pleasing local streams which join with anyone and it is good for a good hearted human to stay away from such forces. It is to be noted that good humans faced with bad situations suffer a lot because they would not have planned for any escape routs as they are not equipped like the master planners and rooks.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Faced with such difficulties of a lifetime i learned that i can look for a better vision if i try with my whole heart to meditate on Tagore or such great inspirers. Power is not the ultimate factor, there we see the less powerful constitutional leaders. In our country people think the post of a Rashtrapathi is less powerful, less meaningful a designation but we were fortunate to have a few respectful Rashtrapathis in our country to remember - Dr. Rajendra Prasad, Dr. Radhakrishnan, KR Narayan, Dr. Abdul Kalam. When i think of them i know i can identify them as extra ordinary individuals with a different and great vision. Instead of trying to step down to the level of the ordinary segment one's vision should be to join hand with with the real visionaries. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It is true that as humans it is difficult a task to focus and fill always good deeds in empty baskets. It is a fact that at times there can be situations forcing humans to behave in a way to fill all emptiness in the already empty basket as it is easy and ordinary a task.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">To be extra ordinary one needs to fill a better vision and not spread negative emptiness to a gifted life.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I know invaders and situations provoke me to challenge my face value and try to redeem my net worth.. Let me think in this way...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Let me grow to reach up to the vision of the extra ordinary..... </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Let me fill my basket with goodness.....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Let me bookmark a few humans who signed on a vision which benefited several million human beings </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Let me fill a season of flowers and a bag full of Tagore in my basket.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Situations and Provocations are ordinary challenges and extra ordinary ones will not redeem their gifted life on that but try to improve their own vision. Let that vision be my guiding force, guiding light.. </span><br />

പ്രിയപ്പെട്ട മീര<br />
<br />ഇന്ന് ഞാൻ മാതൃഭൂമി വായിക്കുമ്പോൾ കാണാനായി ഒരു ഹൈഡ് ലൈൻ<br />"രാഷ്ടീയം വികസനത്തിനെതിരാവരുത്" <br />ദൈവമേ, ഇത് രാഷ്ടീയവൈരം തീർക്കാൻ ഇന്നലെ ഒരു ചെയർമാനെ പല നുണക്കഥകളും പല തരം മാധ്യമങ്ങളിലൂടെ എഴുതിപ്പിടിപ്പിച്ച് ഇല്ലാണ്ടാക്കിയ ആൾ തന്നെയെന്ന് അറിഞ്ഞതിൽ അത്ഭുതപ്പെടുന്നില്ല. ഇതേ ആൾ തന്നെയാണു കവിതയെഴുതാൻ വന്ന ഒരു പെൺകുട്ടിയെ ഇല്ലാതാക്കാൻ എല്ലാ കുതന്ത്രവും ചെയ്തത്..<br />
<br />മുഖം മൂടിയണിഞ്ഞ് ഇതേ ആൾ കളിക്കും വികസന രാഷ്ടീയം കണ്ടില്ലെന്ന് നടിക്കും കാലത്തിനപ്പുറം ഇനിയൊരു കാലചക്രമുണരേണ്ടിയിരിക്കുന്നു.<br />
<br />എത്ര മനോഹരമായ പദം.. രാഷ്ടീയം വികസനത്തിനെതിരാവരുത്..<br />എതിർമൊഴി പറയുന്നവരെയെല്ലാം രാഷ്ടീയ നിശബ്ദ കുതന്ത്രത്തിൽ ഇല്ലായ്മ ചെയ്യുന്നവരുടെ പ്രഖ്യാപനങ്ങൾ കേട്ട് കേട്ട് ഇപ്പോൾ ഒരു കോമഡി ടൈം പരിപാടി പോലെയായിരിക്കുന്നു പ്രകടനപത്രികകൾ..<br />
<br />ഏതായാലും കുറെ അഴിമതിപ്പാടങ്ങൾ ഈ മനോഹര വികസന രാഷ്ടീയക്കാരൻ കുതന്ത്രത്താൽ വികസിപ്പിച്ചു. അതിൽ നിന്നും പണമുണ്ടാക്കുവാനുമായി. <br />
<br />പ്രകടനപത്രികയിലെ സ്നേഹസങ്കല്പങ്ങൾ രാഷ്ടീയഭംഗിയിൽ വികസിച്ചുകൊണ്ടേയിരിക്കുന്നു..<br /><br />മീര, ഇതേപോലെയുള്ള കുതന്ത്രങ്ങൾ.. വികസനത്തിന്റെ ബാലപാഠങ്ങൾ, നമുക്ക് വേണ്ട ...<br />ഇതേ പോലെയുള്ള അറിവുകളും ഇതേപോലെയുള്ള അതിശയകരമായ ഇല്ലാതാക്കൽ വികസനവും നമുക്ക് വേണ്ട..<br /><br />ഗായത്രി..</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Forgive...</span></div>
<div style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Have you followed any of these principles in its noblest form.</span></div>
<div style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">No.. </span></div>
<div style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That is the truth..<br />After terrorizing and ransacking the heartbeats of a nation and innocent human beings there the masked cries of our rulers to cover their mistakes and blunders.</span></div>
<div style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Give and Take.</span></div>
<div style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Kuchela gifted Krishna not gold coins or a bundle of currency notes but his heartfelt offerings and that can be termed as pure giving. Taking back nothing he walked away and he would not have been in need of any luxuries. Duryodan on the otherhand gifted Anga Desh to Karna to purchase his loyality. Our present leaders believe in such Give and Take. Question them and we end up in Vanaprastha for sure.</span></div>
<div style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Why didn't you forgive your detractors? You terrorized them and finished off instead of forgiving..</span></div>
<div style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You with all your rage did shows to block the ones who tried to give you back what you have distributed.. </span></div>
<div style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Truth is that you cannot forgive anyone and you give only to the ones who fall on your feet.</span></div>
<div style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Pure learning is that give not with an expectation to take back..</span></div>
<div style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</div>
<div style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The simple example to understand how one can grow. America believes in destroying and finishing off its detractors to show their supremacy whereas Europe grows on its own rich resources.</span></div>
<div style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Forgive ...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Is it not that you finished one of your detractors yesterday..</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A chanced encounter and you feel happy for the outcome and no remorse in you that you have not worked for forgiving someone. If others have not offered you a forgiving feeling you go totally out of control and you finish even them too.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Truth is that but you don't like to accept it.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> When you are not able to embrace the noblest form of give
and take and forgive your detractors it is noble a concept not to
demand anything even from others.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Give and Take ..</span></div>
<div style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Forgive..</span></div>
<div style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Have you followed any of that in its noblest form..</span></div>
<div style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">NO..</span></div>
<div style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That is where you stand....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span></div>
<div style="color: #274e13; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The worst human error is that what is preached not practiced and that is the root cause of all human miseries.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I</span><span style="font-size: large;">n
South Indies, just relished this cold cofee. My cousin Gayatri told me
today this news that Lalit Modi is going to receive a life ban from
BCCI. She further said that one love guru is going to get one more
feather in his 70 crores of arrogance. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Gayatri
has changed a lot. She explode these days on slightest provocations. I
am unable to handle her. Further to that there this cold coffee effect
still in me. </span></div>
<div style="color: #7f6000;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There
one funnily dressed lady entered in 'Apple Bar' near South Indies with a
lot of make up. I haven't seen anyone with so much of paint. She was
wearing a bright red coloured lipstick and hand purse in red. I looked
at her through my the window.. She gulped a bottle full of beer.</span></div>
<div style="color: #7f6000;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #7f6000;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Phone rang and i sent a mail to Gayatri and said i want to meet her in the evening.</span></div>
<div style="color: #7f6000;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #7f6000;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Later in the evening we met near Chinmaya Mission Temple.</span></div>
<div style="color: #7f6000;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We paid Rs.1000/- towards poor feeding. </span></div>
<div style="color: #7f6000;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #7f6000;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We
sat there inside and listen devotional bhajans. I felt a kind of
coldness in me. Fragrance of cold coffee was there in my fingers. </span></div>
<div style="color: #7f6000;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I loved the fragrance of coffee.</span></div>
<div style="color: #7f6000;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #7f6000;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I could not find an answer that why i started liking cold coffee. </span></div>
<div style="color: #7f6000;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #7f6000;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have noticed a coldness in me and even after experiencing the worst i understood i can remain calm from within.</span></div>
<div style="color: #7f6000;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #7f6000;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Even
when my outer layers of life quarrel and argue on invading thorns of
life, there i found a coldness emerging from the fragrance of freshly
blended cold coffee.</span></div>
<div style="color: #7f6000;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #7f6000;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Gayatri opened up her ipad and showed this news. </span></div>
<div style="color: #7f6000;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Confessions of a lady columnist that 'gossip hurts'. </span></div>
<div style="color: #7f6000;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Gayatri
had this smile on her face that this columnists had hurt in the past a
million people by her not so worthy columns and finally she found it
like one new invention - 'gossip hurts.'</span></div>
<div style="color: #bf9000;">
<div style="color: #7f6000;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Even after reading that i wondered why i feel this coldness.</span></div>
<div style="color: #7f6000;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #7f6000;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Gayatri said a million things about Solar Panel to Page three hype to new books to reviews of films. </span></div>
<div style="color: #7f6000;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I felt a coldness in my brain cells.. </span></div>
<div style="color: #7f6000;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I
watched a film called Chennai Express and hated it for the artificial,
created outbursts and exaggerations in that film. I never could see the
trace of real Shah Rukh Khan i expected for in that film..</span></div>
<div style="color: #7f6000;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Coldness still in me..a kind of detachment and i started loving it..</span></div>
<div style="color: #7f6000;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Gayatri
forwarded her blog today. She made fun of that love guru again, it is
true that even i felt his finishing off strategy too silly. </span></div>
<div style="color: #7f6000;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #7f6000;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There again this coldness. </span></div>
<div style="color: #7f6000;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I started enjoying my cold coffees, coldness</span></div>
<div style="color: #7f6000;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #7f6000;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You

<div style="color: #7f6000;">
