maybe still in honeymoon phase
BymsanjayThere are several discoveries I wanted to share a short while after I got married. But whenever I started speaking about it, I would get classified as a typical infatuated man who’s lost his mind in the blissful honeymoon phase. Feeling that might well be true, I ignored them. But now with more than a…
luck at home
BymsanjayYesterday evening’s rain was phenomenal – they were the strongest winds I’d ever seen. From our 10th floor the view of the neighbouring building looked like a waterfall, with water flowing horizontally, it was an amazing sight! I had closed our window because the water usually comes in through it, but I had not known…
a casuality without an accident
BymsanjayI’d speculated earlier that in a way, humanity is gasping for breath being swept around in a tsunami everyday (just a metaphor), but of course that’s probably not very easy to digest. Most of us would hardly ever admit that there really is any real problem, esp if we have accumulated the opinion over age…
words and their limitations
BymsanjaySometimes misunderstandings happen because words don’t always convey what we want to convey. “For thought is a bird of space, that in a cage of words many indeed unfold its wings but cannot fly.” ~ Kahlil Gibran Sometimes when a person misunderstands something, instead of seeking clarification, he may (had he interpreted it offensively) actually…
junior swatantrajeevi!
BymsanjayLong ago I’d made this photo titled “swatantra jeevi’ in Kannada, which roughly translates to “free individual/spirit” (Just for fun, not really considering myself so absolutely free!! ) Check out this pose of our son (photo taken by my wife)! 8) Hope this picture brings you a lot of smiles!
freshers in the software industry
BymsanjaySometimes freshers come with ambitions of, as Jigar says, “writing an entire operating system” right from day one, but have to be confronted with ground reality of doing something less ambitous like reading up some documents.
From an email:
Dhanuggaha Sutta ( the archer ):
Staying at Savatthi. “Monks, suppose there were four strong archers — well-trained, practiced, & drilled — standing in the four directions, and a man were to come along saying, ‘I will catch & bring down the arrows let fly by these four strong archers — well-trained, practiced, & drilled — before they have fallen to the ground.’ What do you think? Would that be enough to call him a swift man, endowed with the foremost speed?”
“Even if he were to catch & bring down the arrows let fly by one archer — well-trained, practiced, & drilled — before they fell to the ground, lord, that would be enough to call him a swift man, endowed with the foremost speed, to say nothing of four such archers.”
“Faster than the speed of that man, monks, is the speed of the sun & moon. Faster than the speed of that man, faster than the speed of the sun & moon, is the speed of the devas who rush ahead of the sun & moon. Faster than the speed of that man, faster than the speed of the sun & moon, faster than the speed of the devas who rush ahead of the sun & moon, the force of one’s life span comes to an end. Thus you should train yourselves: ‘We will live heedfully.’ That’s how you should train yourselves.”
the concept and picturisation is too good. hats off to the brain behind it. thanks for the clip. i feel the way we look at the world can determine how long we will be in it. it’s so important to accept this time, this very minute, as something of tremendous value that will very soon be gone forever. there are many ways to ensure that we make the best of our time here on earth.
