I would like to share the epitomes of two entirely different books I've read recently.One is the great work of a great soul, Anne Frank, ANNE FRANK- THE DIARY OF A YOUNG GIRL. I watched my childhood in her (character) as an outsider. But it is certain that Iam not that at present, certainly not! It depicts the mental conflicts going on in a girl who is legging to her adolescence! The mental depressions and constraints with hiding during war and the difficulties of isolation. A worthy book to be read by all to know how lavishly, how happily, we all are living!!!!!!!

The second one is a valise for friends, which has got a lot to share with true friends, INTO THE REALMS OF FRIENDSHIP, compiled by Meenal Gupta. It holds a lot of quotings and short stories on the sweet topic, FRIENDSHIP- An anthology, from great saints, mystics etc..The book portraits the complete picture of a friend, who is a friend, what is a friend, how should a friend be....etc.. Authoritatively, Iam telling, it is a book worth to be pondered and possessed. Iam longing to get one for myself!!!

I'll share with you my experiances and visions I aquired from the youth camp I behalved on October 1,2 & 3 at Puttaparthi, ma beloved swami's place (physically).



30/09/09
Friday

Reached Puttaparthy for my second youth camp.It was already half past 2pm when we reached there. Didn't take bath, but took a quick wash over hands, face and legs as we had to hurry for dharshan. We entered Kulwant hall at 4pm and Swami's students started chanting vedas.Quickly I was thrown into dozzing with Sai Gayathri on my tongue, lips and in my heart.I remembered, always at the first sight  of Bhagvan I used to beblabber unknowingly. But, at that time i had no any hard feelings or longing. But when Swami entered the hall in wheel chair, at my Saima's first sight itself, at the very moment, I started weeping.Don't know what magic Swami has done in me. The only thing I knew was that, Iam weeping. Wailed and wailed and wailed...Then I could help to stop for some minutes.Then again went on wailing...During the whole bhajan time I was weeping; wailing loudly. Felt like, I lost something precious which I was longing for and got it back in the whole form... Felt like sharing my whole burden with a friend..Felt like weeping on the lap and under the arms of a mother...Then I could understand that I was longing for these days to get a dharshan of my Mother; my Friend; my Swami...I could cry loudly as the bhajan sound helped me not to disturb others beside me! I prayed hard that "Swami, I wanna cry burying my face on your laps.." Something miraculous (chamathkar) happened to me.! When I opene the eyes partly, could find that my tears are ochre colured, colour of Swami's gown..I swear, it happened; I was not unconcious..! But that was for some seconds.. Felt like I was crying on Swami's lap. After sometime, everything came to as usual..First I thought, that may be due to reflection of light on the tears.But never I found that ochre colour again, again when the tears veiled my eyes....!

Oh Swami......; how far we are apart' still you are always with me to hear and answer whatever I ask.........!MY BELOVED BHAGVAN............

"LIVING WITH AWARENESS"

The youth camp started at 7:05pm with Bhagvan's blessings..Introduction was by Sri Mukunthan Sir,Kerala State President,Sai Seva Organisation.First class was taken by Sri.K.P.Ramachandran Nair (Unniyattan),Kerala State Coordinator,Sai Seva Organisation.He talked about bringing a CONCEPT (GOD) to a PERCEPT(AVATHAR)..He is really an authority of experiance.He shared withus how Swami saved him from the dreadgious disease cancer...

One more thing, It was very rainy on the day we reached there.But the organisation and we devotees had such a firm faith that there won't be any rain during our camp.The organisation prepared the shamiyana with that full faith on the open ground.And there was no train from the registration onwards till the last day of our camp during any of our classes...

Friday

Today's classes were by Sri.T.G.Krishnamoorthy, Sri.Vijaya Menon and Dr.Deepak Anand. T.G.Krishnamoorthy Sir talked about the importance of Karmayoga; how to relate god in our every deeds. He also talked about his car accident and how wonderfully Swami protected him.Sri.Vijaya Menon gushed over non-vegetarianism. Such a powerful voice was his that each and every word penetrated deep into the heart.Sincerely speaking, a magananimous character. Evening session was carried by Dr.Deepak Anand, a doctor of Swami's hospital, who has such a wonderful commitment and closeness with Swami.He took class on how a Sai Youth should be. He gave:

Y O U T-Truth H-Humility..He told about Swami's wonderful leelas in his life and his family.

 


Today I could understand that Swami is hearing my prayers, my quaries, my doubts and seeing all my deeds..Today I was confused that how can I do my daily morning sadhana from my hostel, as my roommates may be disturbed! Another doubt was that how can I convince one who asks me, what is Swami?I got the answer for these two questions which tangled my mind during Deepak Sir's class.Swami was talking through the tongue of Dr.Deepak Anand. He said that the best sadhana is the one to which we are more inclined to by birth.Now I have the answee that I could have done service!I love doing service,if Swami ever gives me a chance.In the same class, he told that SWAMI IS LOVE.. Yes, that is the more accurate, convincing answer for what Swami is!!!!!

03/10/09

Saturday

Todays eloquents were Sri.Somasekharan (Saidas), Unniyettan, Dr.Kaushik Narayanan and again Sri.Vijaya Menon for evening session for concluding the camp.Somashekharan Sir's class was on the topic Youth and Spirituality. Unniyettan talked about the Sai Organisation and its Functioning. Dr.Kaushik Narayanan explained Whom is to be called a Sai Youth..Kaushik Sir was humble and peaceful as that of earth and Vijaya Menon Sir was powerful as that of silence..

04/10/09
Sunday

Today was one of the most wonderful days in my life! Swami blessed me with such a miracle today.The matter which Iam going to tell may be a simple coincidence as you feel, but its something wonderful for me as I could feel Swami's presence always now!
Today during dharshan, I asked Swami for Swami's sight and towel..I asked like this, "Swami, you are Sarwantharyami (living in all hearts) right!if so, even if we are this much distant apart, you should be hearing me and I want your handkerchief." Before that I asked for his look atleast once. I was longing for one because I had a plan to start my Karmayoga.Only with Swami's blessing I may do that, I felt so! Swami blessed me with a look from where he was sitting! Still, not satisfied completely, I asked for his handkerchief.. After aarathi when Swami started going back, I was repeatedly asking for Swami's towel in my mind!!!!!!When Swami's car's wheels turned to the way to residence my mind simply thought that, WHAT, IF SWAMI'S CAR COME BACK THROUGH THE WAY WHERE WE ARE SITTING, SO THAT WE MAY SEE SWAMI ONCE MORE, I WOULD FEEL? The moment this thing passed through my mind ,SWAMI'S CAR TURNED TO THE WAY IN FRONT OF US. See how beautifully Swami wiped off my doubt that 'if Swami is Sarwantharyami.....!'See how wonderfully Swami proved that HE IS SARWANTHARYAMI.......(Living In All Hearts)

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For long 15 days, from 6/8/9 till 21/8/9, we were together..We shared bus, rooms (that was an experiance to share room with Krivi,Reshma and Amla), beds, food, clothes......At first we all convulsed when we heard we have to travel the whole journey in two buses! But, I think the tour was the most appreciable one only because it was in bus.We could taste the sweetness of sharing..Everyone found it difficult to amputate each other, when it was time to say goodbye for time being.! A kinda invisible thread of love binded us together by this time! Still, Iam missing those days.......

Our night journey was a bit crisis actually.But the
Night Riders' card play made it easy. VC (Vimalettan), Seema (Anseem), Jappy (Jeno) and Coma (Gayathri) were the players and me and Appu (Aparna) were the spectators.VC avd Coma made one team and the other two made the second team. Seema's eyes jumped over to Coma's cards at times, but we didn't allow it..The other time-killer in our bus was the frolic cd songs and our capering dances. I got a pair for salsa during the tour,Achu (Aswathi).All the daily life activities were dance steps for we the quadruple, me, Loosu (Roshna), Aliyan (Aliya) and PH (Archana).We discovered one thing during the trip that, all of us are great dancers and great singers.

We had 3 great days to spend in
Hyderabad which had got a lot of wits. Before going to that let me tell something; Kerala is the most clean and peaceful place I've ever seen (from the experiance of my south india tour). Our water, our food, our nature; I missed everything during those beautiful days. One more thing; man will do anything for food if he is dieing for food. Coming to Hyderabad, the Land of Pearls; one day me and Achu had to share a table for tea and we ordered two cutlets. My God...it's only when the plates came, we came to know about our mischance. He brought chat; and the name fall for it, Achu's cutlet. Our neighbouring table was occupied by Dev (Devendra) and VVV (Vineeth). Dev ordered roti and he got one like an armor. 
Ramoji Film City was really an experience.A real film world was alive there. How a film is born, how its settings are co-ordinated, its picturisation, were all can be seen and felt there. A romantic story has also born there with Manu as hero and Thambi (Thansi) as heroine (Idavazhiyil naam aadyam kandappol.....dedication for them)
Snow World was yet another experiance. Seema was mass attacked by the girls with snow as weapon. I got paid for my mischief; 5.5 boys (our batch guys) buried me under snow. VC headed the operation (Will repay when my turn comes...)

Whenever we climb any hairpin turn Aliyan will ask, "is this the
Thamarasseri Churam!!" What a sense! Continuously thinking only one thing will hallucinate the person to find that in anything What a mirage!?Another brilliant work of Aliyan was her new version of the song Kalakkulla vellathil kulikkalle Jaanu....neerelakum...., and her 'remixed' version starts like this; Kulikkunna vellathe kalakkalle Jaanu... Think she copied the modern version from Jappy's 'music book'. 
Oooops....I forgot to tell about our UUP's (Anseem) 'Hindi tution'. His teacher was Neha and the only new thing he learned outta his deep knowledge in Hindi was '
Hatta Sawan Ki Khatta'....and he was and will be using this at any emergency!. 

Hoganeckel's boating was an exciting one..The boatman rotated the boat in the middle of the river flow as and when we pleaded him. The water fall was marvellous.It fall violently like avenging against something.. It flowed bearing the whole burden and worst and wastes in it, violently.. For UUP and Ikkakka (Shameer) the day came to grief a bit and was a 'Kottavanji Tragedy'.. They and some others (need not be mentioned here, as they were not the real heroes) splashed water over others for fun and the situation actually got worsened more when girls exploded. Both of them, Seema and Ikkakka, suddenly took the responsibility and made arrangements for changing the dress. (I admire that responsible minds!).

The only thing we had to suffer on the whole journey was Karadi's (Arther Jacob Sir)
garjanam (abusings). For only the time, when he get anger he used to stand us on the thorn, but that was really hurting. All of us, especially we the girls (Travel India Riders) were the sufferers. But the funny thing was, Meemo (Meera Mohan) could make him to tremble by becoming a fury atlast. After that Sherkhan/Kaduva/Karadi became the most descent guy of the tour..(thanks to Meemo)

Wherever we went, we took snaps, groupwise, singles, from different angles....Ikkakka and Seema found it interesting to take pics from different angles and in different posings.
Ramakkalmedu was really a fascinating place to be checked out and that was a wonderful experience to be at the top of the mountain. Thanks to Shameer for giving hands to get there. The Theepettikoodu (small bus) riders missed the boat, as they got to the other end of the Ramakkalmedu by bus.We made the way by our legs and it was nice to get there invading the high speed wind and cold snow.........! 

The last, but not the least one to be mentioned here is our 5.5 boys' dance show at the second last day...We all admired
 the talent of Seema and Ikkakka in doing
Salsa..
Prajo (Praveen), Puli (Prasanth) and VC were also not bad too..All are great dancers....Thank lord....none from outside was there to watch our talents...

At the last day, when it was time to bid goodbye, all were sinking to the depth of grief...Some cried violently. Ah...an invisible thread of love..........Iam eager now to get over this boring semester break....,even I love being in home...

It is really painful to hear the prolong wail in the God's own Country..The number is increasing, of the flung new borns and kids, day by day. Children are picked up from the road sides, dung-pits, sweepings, mother's cradle, etc..Many cases are reported and are reporting about such threw aways...


Whom to be blamed for this?Whether the mother, the father, the society, the customs, the culture....Helpless....Sigh...It is Kerala, the 100% literate state of the country as per reports, where such crimes are more. Can we blame ignorence?A synchronized effort from every field, like sociology, psychology, medical and health awareness, etc., have to be made to sort out this. But who is ready to take up this risk?A big question in front of each of the citizen! Increasing mother's cradles, ignorence, unawareness, psycheic problems, social barriers, cultural veils, are all responsible; All have to be reconstructed... It is possible, if each of us has a decision, a determination and work for the good end unitedly...

Hey guys...,it has been a long since we have met last,right! Was in the hands of exam... I womder,how I could leave my blog hollow these days! but I was doing upto date checkings..A truck of things happened these days..., my exams, a great actor's demise, my south india tour plans, met my physics teacher in orkut...and a lot more...

I'll start today by a late, but needed condolence on our great actor, Rajan.P.Dev's death. He was a person who stamped his individuality in many fields along with the film world. He died in mid-life, when cancer conquered his physical body! As a lyricist, a writer, a director, an actor,  he is still alive in every mallu's heart..By his usual villain roles on the screen, we thought that he is just a villain; but when he put on the humour roles and hero roles, we could find that he was more than what we have known...He had a strong desiire that the drama world should never die as such without finding a light under the boon of film industry and other entertainers,as it is that which made him to what he was...He kept his drama troupe going and produced a play every year that toured all over Kerala for a whole year.Hats off to that great eminent actor...With deep pain...,we miss you...

Now to the great exam experiances!!! We have three sets of exams in our course, BSc.Agriculture(Hons.); one set internals carrying 20 marks for each paper, practicals bagging 100 marks for each paper and the real sauve villain, externals for 80 marks for each paper. Alltogether our exam will long for 1.5-2 months.Our internals is a herald of the prac's and the univ' final theory exam.At that time, all our enjoyments like indoor games, outdoor games, surfing,blogging,all get ceased.. On the eve of the exam will be the time majority of us may be touching the notes by hands for the first time; many of us will not be having notes and will be queueing up in front of our campus' xerox shop.! Then the battle will start...Our studies will not get over even at a sec before the "bell" for the exam.From the moment we enter the exam hall our brain starts working and thinking for more new findings and discoveries....By this date we have made a lot more of new "theories", "inventions", "quotes", "definitions"....When I enter hall, Iam more eager to rush out  of that exam "hell" as early as possible. When that day's adventure gets over, it's time for the preparation for the next day's! This goes till the last day of our exam series... When it is the eve of the last exam, majority of us will be in a mood to go home on the next day! On the last day, there will be some usual hollow decisions and determinations to be followed from next semester onwards,that, "I'll be good, upto date and do good from the next semester onwards".Even we know this cannot happen, still we hope....'coz hope makes man to live for the future......
