A's Blend Of Emotions

Failures are the stepping stones to success – Well, sure! But the more “often” we experience failures in life (how old am I ? ), the more do we forget to relish the fruit of success that crops up once in a blue moon ? Or is it the other way round ? Is it smartness or stupidity when I include the fear factor along with the accomplished success? Or can this be answered only with the proportions specified? Probably okay to be cautious, but not to an extent that your fear overrides joy. “Optimism is what I would love to possess and hence do I not possess the same” -- “It so happens that every time I buy a beautiful dress to add to my collections, I somehow lose an already existing, equally beautiful dress!” - Every time?? “ Just when I realized how smooth my drive was, I saw a car “almost” colliding mine!” “ On the announcement of something big that steered my way to buy a new home - I heard that I lost it even before I actually had it only when I was in my house war...

Whatever be the heights of stress, listening to beloved Dr. M.S Subbulakshmi Amma's Kurai Ondrum illai" would just make me feel God with tears of joy. So many hurdles in life at every stage, be it a little one weeping for a candy .. or a school kid weeping all day either for missing her "A" grade or for having messed her school speech.. or a high school girl tossing a coin every minute to see if her love would be reciprocated .. or a frustrated woman losing her job on turning a quarter century ........ It feels so good to think that "the next minute is just a minute away" when we are really uncomfortable in some situations in life. But the moments we treasure in life? We probably cannot freeze that moment or order the clock to stay where it is. Neverthless, we can always move down the memory lane and grab those smiles. " The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sle...

Movie : Thirupaachi Song: Kannum kannum dhaan Originally sung by Harish Raghavendra, Uma Ramanan Now rendered by Anand (Welcome Anand!) & Aparna Kind of a telepresence recording experience to produce a "blend of two voices" .. Here is the audio: If you cannot see the audio controls, your browser does not support the audio element Yet another new experience - Tried to play with the Video of this song to replace the original audio with our version of the song.

Lots of freedom within a cage. How good does that sound? Well.. who does'nt become happier to step out of the cage to a more comforting place? (exceptions are always there) All set to hibernate.. I felt as happy as a clam at high water. Expected to get out of my cage happily.. but hey, Do things always happen as expected? (Aah! I tasted salt just now :( ) The so-called comforting place makes her feel completely deserted and dejected. To some trustworthy people, we can always be ourselves (I thought so). But, I realised there cannot be another "Me" to understand and interpret myself better than me,myself (not to forget the Almighty ofcourse). Yes, yet another bird's talk.. smile amidst tears for I've realised something new again :) Note: A blog post .. not to fight/argue with anybody's personal opinions or realizations. Thanks!
