My Ten Power Values


My ten power values I am committed to are:



* LOVE:  Who do I love, What love means to me, who loves me, how much unconditional love can I show to everyone..

* GRATITUDE:  What am I today is thanks to the several people I met, several events and opportunities I encountered.

* CURIOSITY:  I grow because of my curiosity to understand, learn, and get better.

* PASSION:  Passion is unbridled power for human excellence.  Only through excitement, energy flows unlimited.

* DETERMINATION: If anything that is accomplished in this world, its through determination.

* FLEXIBILITY:  Its only through flexibility, we create several options for making change.

* CONFIDENCE:  Unshakeable confidence removes the fear factors

* CHEERFULNESS: Cheerfulness puts us on state of excitement and possibilties.

* VITALITY:  Physical energy creates nerve energy.

* CONTRIBUTION: Through giving, we make difference.

Independence Day 2011


Today is Independence Day. 



While we give a lot of significance to "celebrating", we forgot that we have really lost our way in the last 65 years. The very meaning of Freedom has been lost.  The year of anti-corruption awareness, we are heading towards another freedom fight.  But India is under developed in several aspects. Men gripped by mental illness like greed, crime, corruption are spoiling the essential spirit of this country.  Some of the villages I have been recently, makes me realize that we are still close to the stone age. Somebody told me that outside Bangalore, several villages have just 3 hours power supply.  We read every day news on child abuse, and violence on human.  Many of the teachers I have interacted still feel the government has not done anything for the teaching community.



We are fiddling with the basics, India.

Incidents and Coincidence



Incident #1 Today morning, before leaving bed, looking at deep sleep Diya, I was telling myself “I should never be tough with Diya for her mischiefs;  because children are not from us, they are through us”.  I read this quote several months back.


Incident #2  Yesterday and day before, I was in Hyderabad and was closely following Swami’s health report in media. I was having few questions in my mind.


This morning, I picked Dr.Wayne Dyer’s book “Change your thoughts; change your Life” which reflects Tao principles. An excellent book.


Coincidence#1   One of the random pages that  I opened talked about the quote “children are not from us; they are through us”.  I was stunned because that was the quote I told myself hardly 10 min back. And I was reading that quote several months back in some other book.


Coincidence #2  In the same book, this has been mentioned:  One of Swami’s devotee Ms.Radhika Kinger had written a letter to Dr.Wayne Dyer on Sai Baba.  That was the time Swami was confined to wheel chair.  She had asked Swami why He could not cure himself.  For which Baba responded “My Life is My Message. Pain is a natural phenomenon. But suffering is a choice. I do not suffer as I am not the body”.     A relevant message coming to me through this book in current Baba’s health context.

Election & Cricket




Captain Vijaykanth





Captain Dhoni
Suddenly I observe some coincidences in Tamilnadu Election and World Cup Cricket this year.



* There are factors that decide who can be part of the team

* If you have not performed recently (in the last opportunity), you get replaced

* Beyond talent, personal contacts at management level, help influence

* Media exposes every move of the members

* There will be some who will get hurt

* Both are serious games, for some

* Both are fun games, for some

* Senior and old try to hold their places beyond performance and age

* Captains will make difference this time

Eyelid Infection

I have my left eye infected now. My friends said, its because of the body heat and every one suggested on what I should be focusing on to keep my body cool.

Happened to meet a family dentist, and she said the medical practitioners do not buy the idea of 'body heat' for eye swelling. She said it could be because of the eye lid infection due to blockage of oil secretion.

Getting better.

பாரதியார் கவிதை

Recently I made this for all my friends. I make this, printed in GK Vale and gifted a few for my friends and displayed few in my house.





My new health rhythms

I am into new health rhythms



  • Deep Breathing in the mornings

  • Oil Pulling

  • Fruit Bowls for lunch

  • Acupressure

  • Focus on effective food combining

  • No to dairy products

Still flexible, try to adopt these most of the times on a weekly basis. I really felt sick of myself when I fell sick recently. Regarding my body as a temple, I vowed not to disregard it anymore with careless treatment. Hope I will have visible results in six months or so.
