Why not follow our own book?

1. "Ekam evadvitiyam"
   "He is One only without a second."
   [Chandogya Upanishad 6:2:1]¹

2. "Na casya kascij janita na cadhipah."
   "Of Him there are neither parents nor lord."
   [Svetasvatara Upanishad 6:9]²

3. "Na tasya pratima asti"
   "There is no likeness of Him."
   [Svetasvatara Upanishad 4:19]³

4. The following verses from the Upanishad allude to the inability of man to imagine God in a particular form:

   "Na samdrse tisthati rupam asya, na caksusa pasyati kas canainam."

   "His form is not to be seen; no one sees Him with the eye."
   [Svetasvatara Upanishad 4:20]⁴

Yajurveda
The following verses from the Yajurveda echo a similar concept of God:

"na tasya pratima asti

1. "There is no image of Him."
   [Yajurveda 32:3]⁵

2. "shudhama poapvidham"
   "He is bodyless and pure."
   [Yajurveda 40:8]⁶

3. "Andhatama pravishanti ye asambhuti mupaste"
   "They enter darkness, those who worship the natural elements" (Air, Water, Fire, etc.). "They sink deeper in darkness, those who worship sambhuti."
   [Yajurveda 40:9]⁷

   Sambhuti means created things, for example table, chair, idol, etc.

4. The Yajurveda contains the following prayer:
   "Lead us to the good path and remove the sin that makes us stray and wander."
   [Yajurveda 40:16]⁸

So where did we go wrong? why aren't people following our religion as its supposed to be?

Frustrated

I miss my blog..i hardly get time to even look at it. grrrrr

Life is great

The roosters wake you up at 3am, 4am, 5am and so on
The food supply in the stores runs out in one day
The locals play their whinny music so loud at 1am
The sun just burns you to an extent that you end up looking a tar
The power going out is a weekly event
The amount of studying just swallows your sleep

Yet...Life is great with friends like these



Like branches of a tree we grow in different directions, yet our roots remain as one. Each of our lives will always be a special part of the other's.

**Special thanks to all those who made my birthday very memorable**

But i still hate it

Curd Rice never tasted so good in my life. Thanks to my mom who always mixed it and placed it in my plate even before i could start eating anything else. "Its a balanced well nourished food" she would say.

Now i have no choice other than looking at my plate filled with curd rice and rejoicing those moments.
Thanks to my sister who hates it too...i wish i loved that damn thing so i don't have to starve here.


**Yogurt..yes that's the American way of saying it..sounds weird..i will stick to my Desi way**

Yen jeevan...jeevan nee thane

Thookangalai thooki chendrai
ekangalai thoovi chendrai
unnai thaandi pogum pothu
veesum kaatrin veechu veru

nil endru nee sonnal
en kaalam nagarathe
nee soodum poovelam
oru bothum uthirathe
kathal yenai ketka villai

-Vaaranam Aayiram

Thanks to shiv for the songs >:D<

You know your engulphed by studying when

<> You close your eyes and all you can see is little cute cells floating around and different type muscles moving in different directions.

<> You set your alarm to get up after an hour of nap in the afternoon and you wake thinking “wow its morning already”. I don’t have to stay up all night to study.

<> You make something to eat in the very less time you get and even after realizing that it tastes like crap you put it in a box and store it for the next 3 days.

<>You keep looking at the time when someone calls and think you could have finished reading one page in these 15 minutes.

<> You look forward to sleep for those 4-5 hours.

My theory for the coming years- The more I know, the less I kill.

The worst thing someone can do is to compare food with a cadaver. "Umm that looks like chicken meat from that angle" ...Who the hell does that?

Stupid guy...ruined my appetite to eat chicken for the next month or so.

Chao

Welcome to Statia

Statia...i have never heard about this place in my life before...never imagined in my slightest of dreams that i would end up here to fulfill my dreams.

So here i am trying to figure out what to do next...what to cook next...what to study next...

Life in Statia is very simple....people are so friendly that i am scared to go out. i have to wave and say hello to everyone that walks by...doesn't matter even if its a small boy. my shoulder joints are paining right now after a 10 min walk...so imagine how many times i would have raised my arms.

Well you can chose to put your head down and pretend that you don't notice anyone...but when its time for your clinical..you have to encounter with these people to do all your tests..and these people remember your face simply because they consider you rude if you don't smile or wave at them....and who forgets rude and evil people?

Its a very beautiful island but i am afraid that i am only going to be left with memories of my dreadful studying.

Anyways you all enjoy your life and tell me about all your colorful things and i will update with all my atrocious ones.

BTW i can see the Atlantic ocean from my room...isnt that cool?


P.S- Thanks a lot for all your wishes and advice

Sniff..Sniff..Bye for now

First of all thanks to all those people who were concerned about what happened to me in the past one month. One of them asked if I had killed some patient illegally and absconded from this planet. Some great I friends I have.

So I need two things from all of you
A good advice
Pray for me

Plan for the next 3 years
I am off to Caribbean islands to finish my MD program. In a year I will be in US doing my rotations and Residency. I am not sure if I will be able to blog as often as I used to but I will try to update whenever I get some time in my hands which I highly doubt.

Time for some advice…anything and everything to help me get through this tough phase of my life. Living away from home…cooking on my own…no more partying…no more first day movie shows…no more sight seeing (Raz you have to update me on this..lol)…

Hope you guys don’t miss my blabbering posts too much.

Quick peek

Three things you would like to take to heaven with you?

Missing those childhood treats

Thain/then mittai

Kadala mittai

Wheel chips (no brand/no name)

Milk bikies

Aavin paalkhoa (this is the best)

Kismi bar

Amul butter

Vegetable puffs

Rose milk

Soan papdi

Nutrine chocolates


Ferrero Rosher is one of my favorite chocolates after Cadburys Dark..but nothing can beat all these fabulous treats that I have had in the past. And the most amazing thing is that you just have to walk to the nearest “potti kadai” to get all of this.

Great lyrics

Movie : Jaane Tu ...Ya Jaane Na

A.R.R Rocks!!!

Kabhi Kabhi aditi Zindagi ,Mein yuhi koi apna lagta hai
Kabhi Kabhi aditi woh bichad jaye to Ek sapna lagta hai
Aise mein koi kaise apnne aasun ko behene se roke
Aur kaise koi soch de Everythings gona be ok?

Kabhi kabhi to lage zindagi mein rahi na khushi aur na maza.
Kabhi kabhi to lage har din muskhil Aur har pal ek saza
Aise mein koi kaise muskuraye kaise hasde kush ho ke?
Aur kaise koi soch de Everything gona be ok

Love is all we need

A lady in my hospital asked me yesterday “how do you manage to have a smile in your face if all you’re seeing is fear, worries and negativity every day? “

I asked her “how are you able smile now when you know that the disease your husband is suffering from has no cure”
She looked at me for a second and gave me a tight hug.

You either get used to the things around you or you simply act like you did.

Like the change??

Finally i did it...with a heavy heart i left my old template :(

Thanks to Arti :D

Life

Among all the hardships
Between all the sorrows
Within all the difficulties
Amid all the variance
Life still seems beautiful


I wonder why?
Is it because of you?

I can’t say how I feel

Why is it so hard for me to express my feelings?
I often wonder about this but never get a clear answer. I have so much of love built up in my heart for everyone around me. But they never come out in words. Simply because I don’t show it or maybe I don’t know how to show it.
I keep thinking to myself that people who are close to me will know how I feel but they never do. Even if they have a slightest worry I can easily recognize and sense how they are feeling. But till now no one has ever judged me right. I keep smiling all the time but that doesn’t mean that I am happy all the time. I guess I act too well.
Anyone else felt the same way?

My tag

How about if I create a tag?

So here it goes.
Write at least one thing about me. Good or bad ...anything is welcome :). If you don’t know me personally or don’t know me enough, I will give you a hint…you can simply say something by looking at my Surya pictures ;)

And I would like to tag all of you in it. I am eagerly waiting to write novels about each of one you guys. So lets start

Blushing

I am really impressed by someone.
He came..he made all of us laugh..he made me laugh..he made my day..he made coffee for me…he played with the kids…he left and I am still here.
No no…nothing like you think…:)
He is way too older than me :(
But if I ever find someone he would be like him :D


*hopefully he doesnt read this*
**Raz pls.. un personal Qs elam mail pannidu..inga maanatha vaangatha**

???

If someone smokes or drinks..Does that make them a bad person?
We can say it’s a bad habit but we can’t say that their character is bad.

Something that frustrates me… “Don’t be friends with him/her…they smoke”
