    on the way Bangalore

    If you are a follower of Freudian or Jungian psychology, you would call it sweet recollection of being rocked, cradled in the womb of the mother. Anyhow how deepu loves the jerking, rocking experience. Of course, a train journey cant last for 9 sth months.

    But the longer the better. The latest of deepu’s rocking experience lasted only from Pune to Bangalore.

    Don’t you think a train journey is a microscopically and dramatically illustrated perfect portrait of macroscopic reality that we call Life??

    Every time deepu travels by a train he gets a glimpse of this magnificent reality unfolding itself compartment by compartment – it otherwise remains compartmentalized.

    What is life? If you Shakespearize life is a lot of sound and fury conveying nothing.

    The whole world is a theatre and we are all actors –

    I wonder where then we have audience!! We play different roles, done multicolor costumes; speak flowery languages of great people. and it goes on. ..on..on.

    And there is this picture mirrored in train journey!

     

    The long train is a stage and all travelers are actors with compeers and time keepers in black coats, entertainers vociferously heralding the arrival of chai, paanipoori, vada paav, list is almost endless..

    A lot of multiplicity, dicersity of colors, variety of languages, wide range of foods,,

    undeniably many with identity crisis as Erick Erickson would say, but some with deffernt definite role to play.

    A really marbvelsos and excellent replica of life…that’s what is a train journey!!

    Hmm Tea is still steaming hot, he got to sip it down soon…

    A few more days here in Bangalore, and on the 7th he will go back to Pune.

    deepu’s Christmas message

     Doesn’t it look like a new age, an age of vitality?

    Doesn’t it look like a new horizon, a horizon of all embracing love?

    Doesn’t it look like a new spirit, a spirit of fellowship?

     Yes, everyone seems to be bathed in the enlightenment of

    altruism as against Narcissism,

    Understanding as against prejudice,

    Acceptance as against rejection,

    Forgiveness as against hostility,

    Concern as against forgetfulness,

    Tranquility as against fury,

    Hope as against despair,

    Love as against hatred.

     The all-embracing LOVE that transcends human emotions and feelings is the essence of image that has been imprinted in every one of us. It is this love that makes you “love your enemies”, “love others as you would love yourself”, love others to the extend of giving wholly and fully for the sake of the other.

     No one ever dare to come out of the warmth and comforts in the security of one’s room. For cold out side numbing and the freezing wind is bracing crazily turning everything cold and dead with a seductive hiss. You will never want to expose yourself to it.

                               

    knock….knock…..knock.

    A couple stood there out in the cold,

    Completely drenched, shivering and shaking.

    While the man breathlessly pleaded to let in,

    The woman’s face bloodless showed white.

    Baring not mere freezing cold, but the pain of joy within,

    She stood quivering with the weight of her child in the womb.

    Her meek throbbing flesh was like a dry leaf

    Exposing the naked truth – Truth that will set you all free.

    Enlightened new era turned hostile and spat hatred,

    At the impending danger of letting an expectant woman in.  

    Concern, love and acceptance played mere words in mouth,

    At the pleading knock of a panting man.

    Turned away repeatedly they have come to you,

    Knocking at you r door.

    Knock… knock… knock

     Well, now it s up to you…

     Will you let them in? Will you risk the trouble? Will you bother to spoil your party? After all, it is Christmas Eve; you are in the midst of celebrating the Birthday of Jesus.

    Sounds Christmassy or messy or just fussy? 

     

    Wish you a Joy-filled, Grace-filled, Christ-filled Christmas

                                 &

    A bright, prosperous, peaceful New Year

    thats all wat matters at the end..!!


    so here is deepu back in good shape to resume what he loves to do.
    now on no time table, no bells, no CLASSES, doesnt that sound fontastic..?>? yeaa it does..
    guess missed out a lot of action.

    so finally some out come on the much a-waited Jessica Loll case.
    Team india pulled off a historic victory in south africa.
    aand deepu's all time fav bowlers, warne and Mc grath are all set to retire...

    thats for international and national happenings....look around here.
    Deadness, lifelessness, numbness, motionlessness
    How lively, colorful & chirpy had this nature been until a few days back..??!!
    Uffff..look at her bizarre forlorn look. An old gag now that she has become.
    One by one she has shed even the last shred of her cloth…
     Could she have been spared? For she had been the most beautiful!!
    She had the arresting look, piercing eyes, lustrous body..
    Alas!!
    Now, there she stands naked, stark naked for everyone to jeer at her.
    Forgotten, ugly, unwanted a pile of meaninglessness she has become.
    Roll the time machine back!
    She was the centre of attraction.
    She was in the company of the most exotic and the precious,
    There was lot of talk about her, lots of buzz around her,
    She would look beauty personified in her unfathomable splendor,
    With her fragrance enveloping the thin air,
    Like an adorable and enriched bride to be taken,
    To the luxury of Groom’s chamber.
    Alas!!
    Hmmmm that’s what happens to trees and plans during winter.
    And human beings too. The seasons change, climate change, growth is inevitable…
    But what is that doesn’t change is that matters most at the end of the day.
    Like the new shred of shoot splitting out through an apparently dead, dry Olive tree
    spreading once again rays of hope and happiness,
    there should be a splinter of essence in all of us, whatever name you call that by,
    it is that matters most at the ultimate round of our Journey…
     
    OoPss where has deepu reached? wonder if this nonsense makes some sense.!!

    deepu's request to you all


    A few more days left for the celebrations unlimited. First X mas, followed by New Year. Not surprisingly these two world embracing celebrations have made ‘everyone’ prepare one way or other and to have a roller coster time.
    Music, dance. late nite party, drinks, mouth watering sumptuous delicacies, X mas trees, cakes, crackers, gifts, decorations, on n on n on….list can be just endless..
    And Deepu is sure you will all have a gala time in the days to come. Eh? A time to forget ourselves and simply get lost in the mood of celebrations.
    but….but …..but can you wait a minute for deepu? Why not do sth different this time around? All the celebrations are fine. Don’t have to do away with it all…
    but can you just imagine those hungry stomachs, skinny and dry, as you and I gobble down whatever…??
    can you imagine the plight of those men and women of our age, struggling hard to get a sleep in the numbing cold, shivering, nestling under whatever cover they have, if at all they have, when you and I enjoy the warmth of costly, new dresses??
    Do you know, a glass of hot tea, a simple steaming meal, even an old piece of cloth that are lying unused, just anything, anything that you and I ‘may’ think are invaluable, useless can work miracle for these less privileged brothers and sisters of ours?
    Deepu is extending his hands as he does every year. Can we hold together, and can we make someone’s life beautiful? Can we together do sth really worth in this beautiful season? All that you have to do is to just look out, go out and do it….a smile that you mite get in return will be the most beautiful gift you can receive this season.
    Deepu wont be updating until his xams are over. And yea, he is going to miss you all until 22nd. Take care all of you….
    So here is Deepu with his out stretched hands. If you hold on to it, you gotta do it.

    thats typically indian

     
    Do you know what a sari is? Or whatever name you call it by, that long piece of cloth that Indian women drape around…well, how much time will you take to have this one draped around you? Deepu has never tried it. but, he has tried salwar cameez a couple of times for some drama purpose. Anyway, sari doesn’t take 1 hr, does it? and if it s gona take that long, that’s going to be late…
    When some one spl is missing the absence becomes conspicuous. And if she is missing for the entire first hr, it s going to be a real absence…
    As the bell was going for the second hr, she glided in and no doubt she set the class on fire. There was a buzzzz, some 200 eyes on her, all spot lite on her….
    And she? Yeaa, she in her usual beaming-bright-smiling fashion took her chair having acknowledged the cheers.
    You don’t get to see a German girl coming to the class wearing a traditional Indian dress and that too a sari. Of course, poor thing, it cost her the entire first hr.
    Yeaaa, you cant expect her walk as gracefully as Indian women, so she was a little awkward in her walking. Maybe the shoes did it.

    However, any innovation by girls do not go waste. They get all the due attention from boys. And Deepu?! He simply loves to see girls in sari.
    When they are in their usual tight jeans ( hope so far no one has died of low blood circulation), salwar, shirts, skirts…yea they look ok. Beautiful. But you know sari..

    That’s a wonderful attire. You just cant improve upon this costume. It simply does magic on a woman’s body. It makes a girl a woman. She becomes grace personified. And the guys go ga ga…
    And if you thought it s just a simple thing drape it around..naa…if someone does not know how to properly drape this thing around, then it s going to be tough. And it s also recommended by deepu that those who wear this beautiful attire should see to it that that is long enough to reach wherever it suppose to reach, pinned whereever necessary, exposed as little as possible.
    Be proud if you know how to drape yourself in a sari and walk that beautiful feminine walk…

    that s our style in india

    upanishith, samaveda, adharveda, sath chith aananda, visita advita....
    you dont find any problem with these words eh? (let alone the meaning of the concepts)..
    but not for a girl in deepu's class...
    every time she asks sth like this there is a roar of laughter doing the rounds,
    a giggle from there, a grin fom here...some funny noices..some restlessnes.
                                
    but you dont expect a German girl to pronounce these Sansktrit words as indians do, do you?
    ( not that indians are perfect...)
    the stort takes a complete U turn in the following hr. ubermensch, sache, Da-sein, en-soi,
    welterschang..blah...blah... and she goes on..
    you know, she is a wonderful girl..despite being fooled by the fellows from all corners,
    she still remains with that radient smile..lovely girl..hmm both inside and outside...
     
    laughing at others' weakness is very esy, but are we aware of our own? are we able to laugh at ours?...
    every weak person has a strong side, but we fail to understand every strong person has a weak side...
    in everything that is devilishly wicked and grotesque, there are elements of goodness, a sheen of love....
    A genuinly loving and passioately encompassing kiss gifted on the lips can transform even Satan to an angel !!!
     
    know wwot? deepu's very happy today...Mandy,his fav radio joky with radio mirchi is abck from Singapore...
    FM was slightly boring without her....she began with 'sapane ke mosam'....
    and her hahahhaa..simply elavating, relaxing...so sweeeet girl. the way she goes on chatting on on on...
    (bye the way, it s been scientifically proved that women are more talktive than men, but deepu loves that)

    Dream???

                              

     I was quite puzzled to see people running thither and hither in panic. I stood there quite some time watching those people, yet I could not make out what was going on. Nobody bothered to stop and tell me what it was all about. Everybody moved about as if each was just fallen from new planet. Their look suggested that they had been thoroughly disillusioned. Though I knew, there was something terribly wrong I could not draw a conclusion.

     I moved on to a different lane. Nevertheless, the situation was no different. Men, women, children. Everybody was moving around like people in a mental asylum. Some of them tore apart their clothes, some others seemed lost in screaming and whining, while some others thru their belongings from there apartments. In no time, the place I was standing looked like a shell-attacked region.

     I moved on from there and I walked down the streets for a few minutes. To my horror, I saw people demolishing temples, churches, mosques and all the religious structures everywhere. I stood there for a few minutes completely frozen. I was completely baffled and desperate to know what was going on. I got hold of a young chap and asked him what it all meant. His reply made me laugh at first, but that did not last longer. I could feel my heart beat. Thud….thud..thud, faster and faster it became. He told me there is no God, God does not exist? And there I could see religious leaders of all faith going around shouting the same, there is no God….

     Thank God it is only a dream!!! Or...

    Where was deepu gone????

    been away for a coupl of days!! any guess where?
    was deepu in New York? well, he was. but not a New York that you all know, that posh, glittering one. but he was in the 1950s New York with Nicky Cruz. he was running with him, the run baby run. "he was in ghetto, as far as eyes could see there was nothing but apartments, filled with human flesh. each window symbolized a family, cramped into tiny living quarters, eking out a miserable existance." 
    thats where Nicky was. thgat where deepu was in tha last few days in his marothon run to complete his assignment on Run Baby Run....It s been a tiresome, gruesome jounery..of course njoyed a lot, reading and re-reading, experiencing, living every moment of that life..but now Deepu is worn out…
     
    anyway here down is your share...just the conclusion...
     
    “Your true nature is happiness and bliss” – Ramana Maharshi
    “Everyone wants to be happy. This is a universal compound of human condition and many seem so self-evident that it does not bear noting. Even those who hate intensely themselves or do violence to others can trace the drive back to the deepest unfulfilled desire for happiness.”
    As a kid, like any child of his age, Nicky longed for love and acceptance from his parents.
    But all that he got in return was rejection and hatred.
     
    The deep longing for self-fulfillment continued to haunt him until he was stopped by Jesus’ love.
    The deep chasm created in his heart n the absence of love was refilled from the bruised, deep nails holes of Jesus’ body. The moment we are ready to let go everything we cling on to including our lives, true happiness, true love for others and ourselves sink in us.
     
    Yet, Nicky spent sleepless nights haunted by those three words, ‘Jesus loves you’! It took tremendous courage
    and genuine openness to take that final decision to love Jesus and more importantly be loved by him.
    Once he experienced that grace of God, he did not want let go. He freely and fully gave himself to God. “Love never imposes itself. It is freely given, and it expects a free response. The recipient of divine favor is deeply conscious of his need and yet he feels his unworthiness. Hence, he prays much to receive God’s favor.”                                             
     
    “I shall be telling this with a sigh
    Somewhere ages and ages hence:
    Two roads diverged in a wood, and I –
    I took the one less traveled by,
    And that has made all the difference.” (The Road not taken, Robert Frost)
    Flowers of love began blooming in Nicky’s life.
    Somewhere on a somber day hence:
    Two roads opened wide for him, and he-
    He took the one shown by God,
    The one shaped by His love
    And that made all the difference.

    Serenity! Thy name is woman

    Despite the fact that a woman is always at the receiving end, she always longs to help the other. Her motherly heart alleviates at the sight of the helplessness of the other. After all, she is the mother of all creation. Nature has endowed her with the gift of procreation. How can she be angry, unconcerned and indifferent? She cannot be so for the simple reason that she is the mother of all.

     She holds the greatest responsibility a human being can ever take; motherhood. Once the relationship between the mother and the child is strained, the child’s whole life goes wrong. When the woman pregnant is sad, her stomach feels it, an atmosphere of sadness prevails in and around her, and the child within her feels it too. Her mood is the mood of the child. Similarly, if she is happy and is eager to have a baby, the baby inside her womb would feel it.  Not everyone is blessed to experience the transcending joy and ecstasy of being part of this great miracle: conception of life in human womb.

     Stock Photo of Pregnant woman, american portraitA woman is a medium, the last bead in the mighty hands of the Creator to assist Him in creation. If it was otherwise, I do not think there would have been so much difference between man and woman, and yet be human beings. Perhaps, it is time we gave a new look at what Shakespeare stated on woman, “frailty! Thy name is woman”.

     Stock Photo of Pregnant mother with daughter and son, part ofDeepu has always loved the concept of motherhood and the early formation of child under a mother. As she is the first channel thru which a child relates to the world, a mother is truly goddess personified. An angel to take care of each child. Therefore, deepu calls her “Serenity! Thy name is woman”  Stock Photo of Pregnant woman, father and son, medium long shot

     And with this sentiments, love and a feelng of sacredness towards mothers, deepu has set his foot into the fresh month. A month in which a Mother by name Mary gave birth to child Jesus…

     Wish you all a warm and lovely season….

     (The poem you see down there is shared by Priya, deepu's friend. thank you Priya. this blog is specially for you and and in honor of all the mothers all over)

    my world filled up, when u sprout out within me
    three months carried you as a dew drop
    your being within me was a miracle
    one fine morning when the sky was showering
    i could feel someone flickering within me
    it was the moment when i felt i am not alone in the world
    i was surviving and someone was surviving within me
    that was your first heart beats i could feel
    like first shower in barren land
    days flew and when my eyes closed
    my mind was filled with your thoughts
    two hearts beating at a time in a body
    rotation of a small soul within me
    day and night i was never alone
    someone within me reaching life
    my dear child i could feel u each second
    when u will be in my hands?
    but before that i could see your hands
    i could feel your small feet
    i got the kicks when i read some books
    you were within me
    i felt you always wanted me to relax
    even you started liking food that i ate
    or you would jump within me if i didnot eat
    you started liking sweets
    you would tempt me to eat sweets
    o my dear baby how do you know all these
    you were still within me
    then came the day when you
    wanted to leave your mom and
    come to her, oh dear why you harrased me
    so much so that i saw another world
    the first sight on you
    and my eyes flooded
    i nourished this little one within me
    God if there is rebirth of mine
    i would still luv to be a woman
    i want to bring up a life within me
