Jan 1sts

To start a new year, this Spathoglottis was here with a bloom 🙂 Though tis just a marker in time, though time and again it reminds one to stop for a while and look where one is going, the learning, the enthusiasm, the interest, the desire, won’t let one slow down, And this Harmony is the One! Spathoglottis
And the visit in search of a native plant ultimately ended up good, with one species being spotted 🙂 may be I should visit the place, B M Betta again in may-june. Hopefully would see it bloom as well. There were a few more plants too and now could spot only one. May be I missed the other spots or may be they are gone!

Looking at things all around, wondering what this mad world is all about! Somehow hear these words “dreams in which I am dying are the best I ever had” from Mad World in the back of the mind. They are worth dying for, or else what good the life is! Also happen to hear Kazim Koyuncu’s track in Edge of heaven, this is played when Nejat is back in Turkey and feels the home around and inside. I guess I can feel it too, something when one is close to the ground and inside its spell.

Though there are various markers in time, and there is a new day everyday. And 365 Jan 1sts in a year, and don’t bother about the world.. world has got a lot of catch up to do.

language and warmth

it is a team sport, where both the team mates are learning, playing, learning…

One says “If I told you this in the field you would get angry! Why don’t you throw it zxy way when it becomes so and so then!!”
Two thinks what if these words were “I have not seen you throwing zxy anytime. How about trying it sometime!? Let me know next time you want to do it, I’ll catch it”

Words must have warmth to reach the listener.
Talks must inspire.

flora of madras presidency

When one opens J S Gamble’s Flora of the Presidency of Madras the first words one reads go like this…

The Presidency of Madras presents, probably, a more varied flora than any other tract of equal area in India, possibly in the world.

Ah! Absolute Delight!

sport and beauty

Body, Beautiful in Motion! Perhaps every artist would agree to this one. The artist who is etching the moment into a medium and the artist who is performing. A craft bringing goodness of wellbeing into a sound mind is no less than a art and is no less than source of upbeat vibrations, filling the soul and radiating the same. Perhaps a sport which forces the body and mind together towards the enlightenment of the goal, which is the way, is seekers end and beginning as well, bringing the beauty both inside and out together.
