Today is Akshaya Tritiya as per the Hindu calender. A day when many people buy gold. The significance is that the gold / silver purchased today will not become kshaya (diminish). Hence it is Akshaya (never diminishing!)
For me, this is a special Akshaya. I happened to talk to my boss Ms. Meera about my writing being totally stopped. She insisted that I should start blogging as the first step towards very serious writing.
The moment I came out of her cabin, I was immersed in other things.
She came in the evening and said "I want to see your blogger name!" and even teased that today is a great day and do not wait for a better day to start. So, I went into blogger.com.
I had a pleasant shock! My blog Mana Manthana was alive and kicked me in the face!
Wow, is there a better 'nidhi' (treasure) for a writer than finding his 'lost' writings?
Oh, I could not believe my eyes and started reading a few posts.
When I read about my mother (who was ill then), tears started filling in my eyes. I wrote about her in June 2010 and she left us on 20th August 2010.
I am really overwhelmed with the discovery of my Mana Manthana.
I am a person always churning ideas in my mind. I keep thinking about various people in my life and the marks they have left.
Some good, some bad and some ugly. I know, I have to cope up with my life, myself. After all, everyone has to undergo one's own hell.
Like Lord Narayana helped Devas and Asuras to churn the Milk ocean to get the nectar (Amrita).
But the poison (haalaahala) came out first literally choking everyone.
Lord Shiva swallowed the poison. Parvati stopped it at his throat (NeelakanTha, he became because of this)
We too have to swallow a lot of poison in our lives. Poison of criticism, for example. Poison of bad rumors about us... and so on.
Many people can't swallow it; they keep it in their throat and spit it on some other occasion on some other poor victim.
The one who can digest the poison without spitting it is a special person.
But it is not everyone's cup of 'tea'!!!!
Well, the words can go on. I am very happy to be back on this blog.
Thank you Meera!
