Malgudi Days!!

It’s a story of a guy.. who used to get up 5 o’clock in the morning, take bath under the morning shower, and go for his regular pooja at the nearby Aiyyappa temple.. “swamiye saranam ayyappa…”

Pujariji is inside the temple doing the aarti.. The door opens up… people are trying to have that one look of Lord.. Simultaneous sounds of devotees taking Lord’s name.. Ringing temple bells (ghanti) and crackers makes it a very unique moment..

Today in this festive season I feel that the uniqueness of that moment was not in itself but in my mind.. because I had the same feeling when I was returning from Borivili Station today 6 o'clock in the morning.. The same morning fog.. people doing their morning poojas.. kids playing with crackers on the roads…

Thanks to Kumar.. I went to Borivili this morning to drop him for his 6:25 morning train to Ahemdabad. Because otherwise I wouldn’t have had that 10 year old feeling which really made somewhere-hidden joyous and very calm me come out ...

Actually.. No moment is unique.. After all it’s your life.. It’s on you how you make the good moments reoccur at different stages or places in your life..

Was going through some quotes for my smsgupshup blog Suribbles-oneliners… and read this really nice quote by Ashley Smith…

“Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.”

One more really inspiring quote is that: “You are the center of your universe, and you can make anything happen.”

If you think something is really not worth it.. don’t just do it for the sake of doing it.. You will never be happy that ways.. I know now I’m diverting from the main topic of this post.. but you know something, I want it to be like that.. I just want it to BE LIKE THAT…

Well anyways this post is not at all just Suri types.. Atish will say ki Suri bhaiya.. itna kaise likh diya, woh bhi without any visuals :P Anyways.. I really don’t know how many of you are gonna read it till here but I’m sure about one.. that’s Tuney.. We both are not readomaniacs.. but still when it comes to eachother.. we read eachother like anything.. and mind it.. that it’s fun.. You don’t get bore doing something which you enjoy.. Seriously…

Saturday morning the whole day what was keeping me busy? Shopping… Shopping just for her.. It was for her birthday gift… almost the whole day... 3 malls.. Central.. Globus... everything... to get that really beautiful chudidaar suit which when she tried gave a feeling as if it was really made for her.. and the same day the whole night again what kept me busy? Palmistry with Kumar.. Varun.. Deepti.. Hrishi.. Atish and Ruchi (both sleeping).. These moments of shopping or doing night ups are sure gonna become some of those in the future which I’m gonna miss and cherish till the end of my life…

Right now, having some hot chocolate milk.. and feeling a bit sleepy… after almost a night up yesterday.. Will sleep now for some time.. would surely be coming up with such loooong loooong posts once in a while..

Happy Diwali..

And ya.. I said somebody yesterday that I don’t like crackers.. they are nothing but of a whole lot of sound and air pollution.. but I think (leaving diplomacy aside).. I like them.. :)

By going against them, I don’t wanna take away that smile which comes on a kid’s face when he burns a mirchi bomb for the first time in his life.. and neither do I wanna take that WTF feel when in a whole ladi of crackers half come out to be fusss..and also the fun of sending a rocket to the neighbour’s house… and just anything & everything like this...

Actually, Life’s too simple to be taken seriously.. Nobody comes out of it alive anyways.. :)

Live it king size. Live it your style.

adios,sURi'08
